BUILING PAD

[Anonymous]

Hi,

As you can see on the attached drawings I have a driveway that needs to slope with the contour of the site. You will see that we have a slope that needs to get from 5' to 10' above sea level.

How best can we model the surface of a drive so that it will neatly flow over the existing topographical surface?

Many thanks

You can do it using a serie of Building Pads closed one to another , but I recomend you to use Site Designer - Subscription Application (from Exchange Applications).

This application has a lot of functions that works for Revit terrain very well.

Containe,

Thansk again for your help.

I have been doing quite a bit of reading about this plugin you suggested.  I am a little nervous about getting into that in part because of all the negative feedback it is getting  on the following page https://apps.exchange.autodesk.com/RVT/en/Detail/Index?id=appstore.exchange.autodesk.com%3Aautodesks...

For instance people say "This is not better than nothing, it's worse than nothing" and then "I now know why its free. I had such high hopes, finally, after 10 yrs a usable site design tool for Revit, but instead, a seriously clumsy interface with dialogue boxes constantly poping up to ask questions, really? Why can't we simply bring in or create a topo surface with our old tool"

Is there a way you can think of doing this without Site designer?  For instance could we not use some form of a nurb surface to smooth and manipulate the site.

Kind regards

Hi every one, I would solve this problem with a simple floor and then modify it with sub elements like adding split line at different places and changing the height for every line in accordance with the topography. See the attached image.

I hope this will be helpfull. Alex
