Why I cant place a topograohy surface on a site plan that I've create it?

Anonymous — Wed, 22 Jul 2020 12:46:05 GMT

Yesterday I've got help to create a site plan instead of the one I've delete it accidently. Now I can't place a topograohy surface it when I try to click and place points.

Do you mean that you can't see the points that are created or that you can't create the points?

I've tried the view range and put the top unlimited and the cut 100' high

Explain a bit more. Is there a warning? Does Revit say the toposurface can't be placed? Whta happens when you try to create the points? Perhaps you're placing points, but just cant see them?

Are you in a site plan?

Are toposurfaces switched on in the VG?

What are your View Range settings?

Are you in a workshared project?

So to clarify, you can't see the points that you're placing.

Check the possibilities that I suggest in the previous post and see if that helps.

I open a site plan and go to site then click toposurface and click place point and try to place points inside the project limits that indicated on the plan but cant place any point.

What's the View Depth? Should be below the level of the surface you're trying to create.

Try this:

As before. create a toposurface form the Massing and Site menu.

If you don't see the points that you place, place some anyway, anywhere.

Click on the green tick mark to complete the surface.

Go to a 3D view and check under VG that Topography is switched on and check if you see the flat surface.
