Topography from Point Cloud

[Vasily_BC]

Hello,

I'm relatively new to Revit and have a problem with creating topography from point clouds.

Is there such option at all?

As far as I found, people usually do surface in Civil 3D and import it as a 3D polylines into Revit.

Thanks

Here are a couple pages which show how to do this:

Thanks for suggestion Chris,

However, I sort of already knew about such option.

As far as I can see it is better to do a final surface with Civil 3D (include grading, corridor surfaces and EG).

Turn a Civil 3D surface in Point display and use method that you mentioned.

But it is not very flexible you know.

And another thing is, when I bring my points into Revit they appear not on a right place.

Even if I fixed Survey Point coordinates.

With contours I can have a reference location to move my imported DWG lines to right place.

So I'm asking myself now. Does it worth to bring high intensity data for topography?

Cheers,

This works for version 2020 to 2023. sorry if your struggling with 2019 and lower. we need the dynamo route for this. and this wil be done using the node. topography by point. Use the software known as " Cloud COmpare " to export the xyz csv. and then well its a feature in revit itself. create topography from csv.
