Responding commenters:
- as to the use - I'm a landscape architect and we use floors to model paving and other surface features that have slopes, and builders use the contours to understand the overall grades, including at paved features.
- yes, agree there are workarounds for getting this effect, however they are all cumbersome and not easily iterative in the way that the design process is intended to work in revit. modeling two redundant features is not a good solution. Exporting and importing every time we need to make a change to grading is not a viable solution.
- using toposolids would be an option, however in their current functionality they are inferior in many ways to both floors and the old topography surface, so the contours on floors functionality may be more easily/quickly addressed than fixing all the current issues with toposolids. If toposolids had all the functionality of floors this would be a valid option, but currently they do not.
Thanks!
