When I create a topography by entering points above sea level, Revit places the topography up in the sky, despite that fact that I've specified coordinates at level 1 so that "level 1" is 500'.
As far as I know if your building is drawn at 500mm that means it's 500mm above sea level, but your topo is drawn at 50m above sea level then the topo will be 45 m above your building, you have to adjust your building to 50 m above sea level as well. Revit and Auto Cad works on a World coordinate system, so if you enter the property coordinates, then it will give you accurate sun paths and solar studies etc. So you can draw GL at 0 but then when you get your site levels from a surveyor then that will be drawn at an actual level above sea level.
2 things that I don't like in Revit for the Topo Surfaces. #1 - You can not export Civil 3D points with a Dot style because Revit does not recognize DOTS ! So when you import Civil 3D points as a CAD file from AutoCAD or Civil 3D, you have to import points with a cross style. But then Revit is going to create topo points in every ends of the crosses that represent the points, instead of only using the center of the point. #2 - We cannot create topo breaklines to prevent points from triangulating wrongly... I have been spending hours and hours to get a satisfying topo surface in Revit that would match Civil 3D, and I can't make it happen. I understand that Revit ain't Civil 3D, but still.
Very Nice Tutorial sir, here i have one question how can we create roads in revit on a topography site thats having uneven surface but not like the same r u using in this tutorial. please make a video on this topic thanks u a lot for sharing u r valuable knowledge.
Hi, thank you for your great video. Could you please explain how insert point file from land surveyor’s report? I mean is it possible we insert a group of point coordinate like CIvil 3D for topography?
Thank you, do you know how to solve inaccurate triangulations from a cad import when there are vertical elements like a curb, steps or retaining walls in the site?
It makes me sad that Revit stopped supporting the topo addon developed by Eagle Point (I forget what Revit called it.) Eagle Point used points and break line with lots of clever way to adjust them. The 'building pad' barley works and adding or moving points around will get you in trouble when you get confused about which ones are the real ones and which ones you created.
Hi your videos really helped me a lot thank you soooo much, can you please make a video about how to render in 3ds max with a revit project ? I'm struggling a lot for my final project Thank you
Hi balkan Bro how to calculate without a pad all time i calculate the cut and fill it include pad its not requested because pad will foundation we should calculate it in deferent bcz its concrete not soil Thx for replying
Hi there balkan architect i was wondering how do you record your youtube videos, they just amazing everything voice, tutorials everything is just perfect ?
Be great to have a more technical video that shows how to model vertical drops better, real world things like 6" curbs, curb cuts, and walls into topography.
Very nice, 💪🏼💪🏼😎 But, I have a building with a garage in the earth, so how can I delete the earth/landscape who ist in my garage? There needs to stay some earth over and under the garage... I just can't delete the earth in my garage :/
Have surveyors started doing/developing the Topo Map in Revit? Or are they still doing in AutoCAD? I am asking you to provide your inout and suggestion, if my question does not make sense. I just believe the Surveyors should provide me with a Top Map so I can use as my Site in My Revit Project. Does that make sense to you?
I am having some issues when creating the subregion. Although it is projected unto the surface when it is created, it is still visible below the topi surface on the ground plane. Hence, you can still see the referenced drawing and the actual projection in my project. This is resulting in confusion. Help please 🤦🏽♂️
Hello when I created toposurface when I select the whole surface. And try to click on shadow or change to any of the options nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?
Hello BA, after potting the survey points of my topography, the toposurface ends up floating above my model. Please advice how to make my model line up with the toposurface.
I have one giant complex topo that I created, not translate from AutoCAD. I find it take more time fixing translated topo However, this giant Revit topo does not allow me to split surface. I was wondering you have solution to it?
Do you knew how to import a 3D Groundprofile with 3 levels and as the top surface a real DGM (Top Surface u have details like highs of street of green areas ). I can import it, but i cant cut it with a Volume in Autocad or Revit. Only in Rhino. So "subtraction body" are not working in Revit I have Autocad, RHino + RHino inside Revit + Autocad Civil 3D
Sir kindly help me with a site where i need to create surface out of autocad drawing file if needed i can mail u the drawings. kindly attend my request i shall be highly obliged
muchas gracias super tutorial thank you much. Add me if you want on face book marc fauve formateur autocad. i do autocad and i start to do revit in france. Thank you
Balkan Architect your voice is mesmerizing , Really Great
All your tutorials have help me out tremendously! Thank You Balkan.
Thank you, I'm learning slowly but surely.
What would I do without you!
Thank you so much for all your videos!
Hey Balkan. Thanks for the video man. Very informative. Cheers.
Have to agree
finally
Clever Balkan Architect!
Bel Tutorial Chiaro e completo.
Mr. Balkan you are a great teacher!😊 Love from india💐
I ADORE YOUR CHANNEL THANK YOU :)
Last tip is pretty cool ! Thanks.

Thanks a lot. Gonna try this on my next project.
great video, helped a lot! thanks!
Thanks a bundle Sir!it was most helpful.
keep going on u r amazing
Nice voice 👌 Balkan..thanks for the help!
very helpful, thank you!
Thank you, this worked.
thnxs
ur beat arch in the word
Great video thank u :D
❤ Thank You.
great sir
I love your accent thanks for the video
Very nice 💐
loveyou
BA, thank you for this. How would you work a ramp into an earth berm effectively?
thank you :)
Go to 8:45
The system sound is a little distracting, would be nice to avoid in the future. Thanks!
sounds like coil whine
thanks a lot

wen i go to the 3d view it is still flat why is it? how can i solve it?
Hello, Did you can solve it...? I have the same problem ... please let me know if you if you made it

Super! i would like to know how do you do to the levels apears in the 3D view?!
Using the Align tool at the end doesn't seem to be working for me.

Whai if topography is flat then soil thinkess will be?
hi what happens when the points dont show when trying to align
eu só to aqui pq o yt não para de me recomendar isso aaaaaaaaaaa disgraçaa
How to do concave topography ?
Do you knew how to import a 3D Groundprofile with 3 levels and as the top surface a real DGM (Top Surface u have details like highs of street of green areas ).
I can import it, but i cant cut it with a Volume in Autocad or Revit. Only in Rhino. So "subtraction body" are not working in Revit

But sir my topography not display in level 2 not please help me!
how to point cloud topography work?
🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰
Please Balkan, no more errors, ur computer sounds louder than you
que diosito me agarre confesada :(
Balkan guys are hot af
Sir kindly help me with a site where i need to create surface out of autocad drawing file if needed i can mail u the drawings. kindly attend my request i shall be highly obliged
A little slower please!!
muchas gracias super tutorial thank you much. Add me if you want on face book marc fauve formateur autocad. i do autocad and i start to do revit in france. Thank you
Is there a way you can provide both metric and imperial models on your Patreon 🫠
Last tip is pretty cool ! Thanks.
thanks
