building pads changes topography

[Anonymous]

hi: 

I am wondering if I can change and control the actual height of building pads to not carving the whole topography above it and just make a hole or envelope inside the mountain not on the surface

Not with Building Pads

That's specifically what they are designed for- to modify the topography in order to create a horizontal plateu for your building.

Can you expalin the scenraio you want to create? ie what is it you are representing that remains buried under the topo?

[Anonymous]

yes, i want the halls to remain buried under the topography, I think there is no need for a pad in this case and just draw my walls and slabs on the correct levels as the topography is just a surface not mass?

[bimscape · Accepted solution]

Yes. ONly problem you will have is if you take a section through the topography / building, Revit will draw on the earth below- even though (as a 3D element) it is not a mass. So you may have to workaround that "graphical issue"

You should have a pad @ the bottom of the building + another topography with the bottom above the roof and the surface align with the main topography.

I got it Thank You

Here is an illustration of what I said above.

thank you very much, i will try it

Hi,

how did you managed to make topography over a building pad?

When I make hole in topo with building pad and paste earlier splitted and cuted surface it is going deep as main topography. Is there a way to control its depth?

Hi,

@ToanDN 

How did you manage second topography over the building top slab? can you please share the Revit file with us.

Thanks

I had to convert the top topography to a roof with the same material.  See attached file.
