Could somebody help me with this terrain.

[Soytei]

For some reason this terrain it´s not working good in revit, and it´s not the first time that this happens to me. Any suggestions??

thanks in advance for your answers.

Please find attached the terrain, the buildings on there are not important.

Thx

Hi @Soytei

I was able to test your file, The terrain imports fine in Revit.

Below is the pic that shows your terrain in 3D

Terrain

Which version of Revit are you using? Can you confirm if you have the latest updates installed for your Revit version?

Are you facing a missing geometry issue?

Can you please elaborate what is not working? Are you getting an error message or some elements are missing?

Since you've mentioned this happened multiple times, can you share a screencast of what you are seeing?

Glad to help!

Looking forward to your reply update.

Regards,

[Soytei]

Thanks for your help, but I need the same level of detail inside the dwg file, your solution doesn´t work in this case, anyway many many thanks for  your help.

[Soytei]

Hi, I'm using revit 2018 and I'm having problems with the terrain shape, some levels are not working and some points are not in the correct place, if you create the terrain imported from the layers of the DWG you will see this. I've had these problems many times with revit and I don't know why?

Thanks for your answer.

What Level of Detail? Could you elaborate please? 

...this file contains 2 toposurfaces; the first one I did for you, which I had simplified, and a second one, which is what Revit created initially from your DWG.  Is the second one what you are looking for?

[Soytei]

Yes, I can elaborate, the level of detail of your toposurface is not good enough, it´s too simple, I need detail meter by meter like the DWG that I've attached. In fact I need exactly the same toposurface of the DWG.

Thanks for your answer.

@Soytei: if you find a solution, please share it.  I'm still scratching my head about what you're trying to accomplish. Thanks. 

[Soytei]

Ok. Hahhahaha I'll do it.

Hi @Soytei

I haven't heard back from you in a while.

I'll be marking @barthbradley posts as a solution.

If you have additional questions, we can continue in this thread.

This answer hasn't been solved, the solutions proposed are not correct. I'm the person who knows if it has been solved or not and as I said the answers are not correct. Thanks

[Soytei]

You can check it by yourself, the terrain is not working in the same way than it is in autocad, I'm still working on it trying to find the solution

@Soyteiwrote:

Of course it isn't. It's just a bunch of polylines in AutoCAD. Revit extrapolated a 3D Toposurface from those polylines. Isn't that the whole point of bringing the DWG into Revit: to make a Toposurface.  Revit doesn't make polylines -- and, it isn't AutoCAD. So, why would you be surprised that the drawing doesn't "work" in Revit in the same way that it does in AutoCAD?   

[Soytei]

Hahahahha, Of course it is not the same in revit than in autocad, I know, I
meant «same shape as in autocad», in fact it is not even close to be the
sam and, It should be exactly the same.

Thx anyway for the explanation.

Have you tried a point file?

[Soytei]

Not with this terrain, but I did it with others and for some reasons It
doesn't work. Revit has problems to solve terrains with natural walls like
roads or elevated areas like train lines.

I think that revit has to change this, It will be great an option of green
lines to copy the terrains from CAD without problems.

[ToanDN]

It most likely has problems when you have contour lines of different elevations partially overlapping each others.  Offset them a bit if you can.

[Soytei]

I did it, but It doesn't work. I think that the best way is to recreate
point by point.
