Fences

Are fences typically site components? So they always go in after the site plan is developed much like trees.

There is no native fence tool in Revit. People have been using several
methods: wall, curtain wall, railing, adaptive component.

Hi @millerew17,

I am not sure if I understood your question.. But first you need to define the area of the site, and then go on with the operations.

I usually use wall to define the site.

At your disposal for any clarification

OK...So the topo is the host therefore whichever method I choose to use it gets placed on top of it?

Thanks!
On another quick subject....In ACAD I used construction points a lot. In
Revit it seems like I should use reference planes instead. Is this a good
idea or is there a better way to work with temporary points?

Use the reference grid!

You will save a lot of time @millerew17!

If your topo is relatively flat, you can use any of the mentioned methods. However, if the topo has significant slopes, using adaptive components repeat along divided paths would be my choice. There are several video on YouTube demonstrate it very well. Do a search you will find them.

Here's a link from Alfredo Medina's blog.
