Revit architecture 2019 -

Hi,

I have modelled a new house and created the topo surface from my survey data. However, I would like to show the existing topo surface AND the proposed (or `to be constructed` etc.) topo surface on my drawings. I usually create stages to show parts of an existing house and the another stage to show the new parts. This works well, however I notice in Revit 2019 you can not do this for a topo surface.

So how is best to be able to see the profile in my drawings of how the topo used to be and how the proposed new topo will be?

Thanks,

Tim.

Create a topo under existing phase. Create a building pad under new phase. The building pad will cut and fill the existing topo, similar to preparing the site for a new building in reality.

Now if you want to calculate cut and fill volume, the pad and the topo must be under the same phase. But let's address it later.

Assuming that you have Phased it correctly, you can change your View's Phase Filter to display the demo'd and new Toposurfaces in the View -- and the line work will display as per your Graphic Override settings under Phases (on Manage Tab).

Ok. thanks. But if I do that I cant see the existing ground line anymore, which is what I need to see. i.e the ground line that was originally running through the building, but is now adjusted to the building pad.

You should be able to create a view showing both conditions simultaneously via Phasing.
