Fixating a wall on a landscape

[Anonymous]

Hello dear CAD community. I started with Revit few weeks ago and I came hit a rock with this problem. I would like to know how to fixate a wall on a landscape surface. There where the thicker line is I want to cut it off somehow. Neither cutting or binding them together is working at all. Thanks in advance.

Select the wall and edit profile

Very interesting workaround... I would not use this in all cases though. The top of the retaining wall doesn't need to be 100% aligned with the topo-surface (not to mention that in reality it rarely is). Sometimes, a few simple profile lines is enough to do what needs to be done.

@Ilic.Andrej Agree..

Most of the time it's not worth the efort.

I would say this is true in about 99% of the cases. I can't think of a single retaining wall I have EVER done that matches the topography exactly.

I think Marcello's technique is meant for a fence or railing that DOES need to follow the topography.

I think it is probably worth mentioning that as of Revit 2018 you can host railings to topography. if you are working with 2018 or newer, you don't need to use the technique at all, you can simply select the topography as the host for the railing.

Good tip!

Looks like that is Revit 2019, with 3D Levels.

Of course it is 2019.  Remember I can have a new version of Revit everyday (every hour if I am really looking for something new) if i want it.  😉

Thanks guys for the answers! I got currently the 2019 student version. I will try and see if I can make it work.
