Revit Topography won't follow the curve of points I place. It is very imprecise.

Help! I have a steep and curving building site and I am having a lot of difficulty creating the topography lines. The Revit topo lines do not follow the points I place along the curving lines of my linked topo map. The Revit topo lines are very straight and ignore my placed points. How do I make the Revit topography lines more precise along the curves? Thank you!

I tried adding more points but that didn't help. Thanks for the idea.

The Contours are a set of lines passing through points. Hence to make it smoother, you need to considerably increase them, like 100s of tight shoulder to shoulder points...not just a few. Some people use Dynamo or an Auto Clicker for that purpose because it is pretty much impossible to do it by manual clicking. See YouTube link below.... 

 

You can also Go to Ribbon >> Massing & Site tab >> expand the Model Site options and reduce the Intervals of contour lines

 

That would smoothen it but they will not be perfect Splines though if what you are after.
