In a Generic Adaptive Family, is it possible to make the Point Elements snap on topography?

No; however, there are several ways to work around that
Option 1:
convert the geometry to a massed surface/face (various ways to do that) which you can divide and add nodes onto which an adaptive component may be hosted
Option 2:
Use an entourage family which can be hosted on Topography (an empty family with a vertical model line), then use that entourage family to host the adaptive placement points to (at the tip of the line)

I´m using railings for topography hosting and being adaptive to. This way, I can have some railing roads following it´s slope, for example ![]()
That´s a weird way to work with, but is functional.

The ways I know of are
- Exporting to DWG and reimporting - good solution, thanks for pushing me towards "faces"
- Working with mass forms - turning the topography to an exact replica seems not be doable from what I know. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Any other ways you could tell?

Great workaround!
Thank you for the other post. I learned some things there too.

Can you please elaborate the "adaptive" part in the railing family?
Also, please show a screenshot of how you created railing roads. I would like to see how precise they can be.
Typically you would need a model line family and host your adaptive to the model line host. That way, you can host the model line circle to topo and your adaptive will follow with the topo surface.

Good tip, that's what DR.RD suggested in his Option 2.

You can do it using dynamo...

Why can't all fencing / railing manufacturers create all their BIM Models as Revit Projects instead of Revit Families, for this exact reason. I need a barbed wire fence, to host to topo, and everything i find online is a family, which cannot be hosted to topography defeating the need for the BIM model entirely. If Railings were able to made as their own RFA that would be great as well. However I encounter this problem all the time in creating Site renderings with fencing.
