Revit LT 2024 Have Site Platforms Been Removed

[jamesWGU2T]

I recently upgraded to 2024 from 2021 or 2.
So got a bit of a shock when I stared using the site topo. I found it very confusing and complicated to use. Can make it work, but seem to have to do things twice. 
Have platforms been omitted? This was very helpful. 
Is there a good tutorial to follow as the autodesk seemed to miss steps.

No more Toposurface as of 2024. You could continue to use earlier versions of Revit to create your Toposurfaces, Building Pad, etc., and then upgrade them to 2024.  Food for thought.

Good idea. Will use next time.

These are 2 really good quick overviews

Jay - thanks, very helpful. 
Annoyed about the building pads though. 
Please note the first like didn't work.

Building Pads seems to be the breaking point for many on the crossover!!

Strange it works here

What didn't work?  Upgrading Toposurface/Building Pads to 2024?  Works for us.  What's happening on your end?

Meant for original poster!
It’s a difficult one as there were also many negative views on the limitations of Toposurfaces!

The Toposolid work more inline with Revit and 3D element components and masses and probably more geared for future integrations with the ACC (Autodesk Construction Cloud)!

Possibly a more transitional approach could have been taken whereby it was rolled out along side the existing methods and then given release year to find the nuances and streamlining of processes so implementing would be less challenging could have been a loss less final!

But as previously mentioned there is always the option to stay in a previous version until all bugs have been fixed and sufficient resources are at hand to assist in the adoption of the new methodology.

Jay - thanks.
Will just have to roll up sleeves and get into it.
