Some features that could be useful for topography and site-design are:

-Create contour lines in Revit, instead of using points (Yes, importing CAD plans works, but if you don't have Autocad it sucks). A plus to this is that it will allow modification to the topography after the building is designed. Maybe that could be controlled with phasing filters as well. 

-Building pads with multiple heights, angles, and maybe some other attributes; or joining different building pads to create one larger pad.

-Pad like features: for creating parking surfaces or other items where you would like a pad, but still have options to control it like a floor. So essentially a floor that is hosted / connected to the topography. This could even be useful for creating walkways and curbs. Because the site designer tools are not very good.

-Maybe a tool for creating uniform ditches/culverts 

-Hatch patterns showing in plan 

-Tessellate feature: something more for concept design that would smooth out topography while keeping specific points at their designated heights. Such as contour lines and points. So this could just smooth out the space between points and lines to create less jagged looking topographies

-Retaining wall feature that automatically creates a void in topography - with the option to control the height of the topography on each side of the wall (sort of like a building pad, but drawn like a wall). Should also contain attributes to control the angle of the wall, as well as the assembly and so on.

-Curb tool - similar to retaining wall, that or have a feature to match a landscape pad-like feature to the t.o. of the curb. That will allow users to just control one height instead of two heights trying to match each other.

-Fence tool: like the railing but could handle topography variations better: options to keep posts completely vertical or at angles (as desired), option to control posts O.C. distances. Options to control if the stringers will be horizontal (and form a step-like structure rather than matching the slope of the topography). And the ability to host a section detail to the tool.

 

It's a big wish-list with lots of civil features, but it would be really useful for concept designs and smaller projects that are done completely in-house.
