Revit Site Plan

[KristianFiggis]

Hello

I am trying to create a site plan based on a pre-existing location. The land is flat, so its not an issue, but the problem is im trying to create the roads, which will act as the constraints of my buildings. What is the easiest way to model out pre-existing roads in Revit? Do I just have to guesstimate the size?

You can trace a Google satellite image.

Check your local city and see if they have open data. There search for contour and some cities will provide you the entire city contour elevation. Some will provide existing building outlines, roads, traffic, etc. This should get you to build your site plan.

Are you wanting this just for 2D drawings or to actually model, such as for renderings? The suggestions so far are both good starting points, but where you go from there varies wildly based on your end goals.

Yeah, these both seem good, thanks!
