Building Pads

[freeriderfx]

Hello Guys!!

I´m struggling with a building pad, I´m trying to put the selected Building Pad (in pink) in the blue topography. Right now, when I model the pad it modify the brown Topo, and I don´t want that.

How can I "move" it to the blue one??

move the brown away, draw the pad on the blue, then move the brown back.

What is that purplish element?  I'm not convinced from your screenshot that it's a Toposurface. Something mighty odd about it and the relationships I'm seeing.  You're welcome to post your file.  Attach it to a  reply post.

The "pink" element is my Building pad, I´m trying to move it to the blue one.
And yes, they are toposurfaces because they all were modeled directly in Revit.

Okay; whatever.  Have you resolved?  If not, post your file so we can figure out what's going on for you.

I did what it was said before, the thing about moving the brown surface and model the Pad. Ok It worked, but is not the solution because is not going to be a definitely project. So i need to know how to "attach" the new pads to the blue toposurface.

So?
Any idea, I already sent you the .rvt file

Perhaps put the brown in a design option.

like this:

change the Phase Demolished of the Host Surface:

...then change it back if you want. But I don't know what the point of that would be.

You know, FWIW, typically, we keep all our Elements close to the Internal Origin of the Project. We don't Model our Toposurface a 1886 meters above the Project's Internal Origin.  It's unnecessary and problematic.  Instead, we move the Survey Point ORIGIN 1886 meters below the Toposurface and set the "Elevation Base" of our Spot Elevation, Contour Labels and whatnot, to "Survey Point".
