Toposolid schedule separate cut and fills

dominic — Tue, 31 Oct 2023 21:16:51 GMT

I am trying to schedule separate cut and fills in a topsolid. Is there any way to schedule cut and fill and area for each cut, and then the total?

I am using in place void for the cuts.scheduleToposolid

What do you mean by separate cut and fill for each cut, if both changes are cuts?

I wanted to create a schedule which lists each cut/fill as a separate line item which can be identified by its name i.e.:

NAME CUT FILL AREA

----------------------------------------

Cut 1 5.0m3 0.0m3 7.0m2

Cut 2 10.0m3 0.0m3 9.0m2

-----------------------------------------

TOTAL 15.0m3 0.0m3 16.0m2

We used to be able to schedule pads as separate items with topography.

And also listing the area for each separate cut. In NZ we use the areas of the cut as well as the volume for Resource consent (planning) drawings.

Join the geometries together. Join geometry removes volume at the union.

I wanted each in place void (which cuts the topsolid) to be itemized separately in the schedule.

as per:

NAME CUT FILL AREA

----------------------------------------

Cut 1 5.0m3 0.0m3 7.0m2

Cut 2 10.0m3 0.0m3 9.0m2

-----------------------------------------

TOTAL 15.0m3 0.0m3 16.0m2

Okay, so filter the schedule to show only the data you want it to show. No biggie.

I might be missing something pretty basic, but I have attached a RVT file to illustrate the issue. Also when I pick the void cut in the toposolid it doesn't register the cut and fill, although the parameters are present in the type

To obtain what you need, don't use model in-place, but toposolids. Create a toposolid by sketch, for example, as a rectangle. Revit will show a message saying that toposolids are overlapping. Then, in section view, locate the toposolid where it needs to be. Then do Modify > Cut geometry > select the main land > select the small toposolid.

Now check the schedule. Each toposolid will show data.

Is this what you are after?

Here...just check it out. I think it's self-explanatory.
