Toposurface See Points

[Anonymous]

Is there a view that will allow me to see the points that the toposurface was generated from while not in edit mode?  I would like to model a floor to a set of points that I received from my surveyor.  I can bring the csv points file in to create a toposurface, Now I just need to add points to my floor that match.  However, I can't find  a view setting that will allow me to see the points in the topo.

I think that making visible the Triangulation Edges ,maybe can help you...the points are located at the intersections of the triangles edges.

The triangulation is hidden by default , that's why you must activate them from: Properties >Visibility/Graphics Overrides>Model Categories >Topography -expand it > Triangulation Edges.

I would second Constantin's reply - the triangulation edges will intersect at the points, which are not visible unless in editing mode.

You are right Katie.

The points as Revit entities can be seen only in edit mode.

But points defined as intersection of two lines can be defined using Triangulation Edges and they accept Spot Elevation . In practic work this can be a method to "see" the points not being in edit mode...

Constantin,

Thank you for the tip.  I was not aware of that visibility setting.  That helps a lot.  As far as I can tell I still can't snap to the intersection or point, but I can zoom in to get close enough for my purposes.  I can make it work.  It's kind of a two step process, importing csv to create a topography and then creating a floor to match, but it's cool that I can generate as-built floor conditions from my surveyor's .csv points file in Revit. Our intention is to pass this on to the design team for their use.
