Site Designer - outside of toposurface boundary?

I am trying to model some streets and sidewalks for an export to Lumion. After hours of tinkering with Site Designer, I finally got the Streets to place in the toposurface. However, after I get one to place, I get an error:

 

"Cannot create the site component because one or more of the line segments that you selected or drawn fall outside of the toposurface boundary."

 

The lines that I have selected are all within the boundary. The only work-around I have found is to delete the "proposed topography" after every street I place and create a new one for each Street. This causes all kinds of problems. 

 

Has anyone else faced this issue? Is there a solution or something I am missing with the street modeling process? Thanks for the help!

Facing the same issue no matter what I do, size of topo, version 2015 & 2016. Different topos with and without grading. It won't seem to create a street from a chain of lines -- only with a segment, and that gets quite tedious.

Same issue here.  Having trouble penetrating Site Designer since nothing I try to do seems to work.  Except for using my own toposurface (rather than importing one via XML) I've followed the tutorials exactly.  I feel like maybe there is some trick to the survey point or work plane set up that I'm missing?  Add this to the list of unhelpful Revit error messages...

Hi,

 

When you are creating street, Revit uses a setting from Revit family that has street width (Lane Width). While Revit draw the street, the newly created street must be inside the boundary of the site too. If one of the line is too close than the street width, it fails to create street and that resulting with this error. Please refer to the attached image.

I am not sure that this helps solve the issue. Does that mean that we need a smaller lane width? I tried changing that value and still get the same error. Did anyone solve this yet? I am not sure what you are dimensioning from. I thought this is supposed to draw a road from a line. I drew 1 line and it gives  me the error.

Hello  - did you find a solution to:       cannot create the site component because one or more of the line segments that you selected or drawn fall outside the toposurface boundary - it's driving me crazy!

Hello, I found the solution. 

First, the model or reference line that you are going to draw must be contained within the topographic surface that you configured as the base  topo surface, I mean that if you have several topographic surfaces or several independent surfaces, the line should not pass or should not belong to those surfaces , if not rather it should be drawn only in one and if necessary you should draw another independent model line but on the other surfaces.

 

Second, the model line that you drew should be far enough away from the contour (boundary) of the edge  of the topo surface to witch it belongs.

 

Third, you must configure the dimensions of the gutters and lanes of the road, so those elements do not intersect with the boundary of the topographical surface, you should reduce the dimension of those elements as much as possible or move the model line.

 

I hope you can use my advices...

Agreed. These tools do not work as expected and seem unstable.  It would be nice if they were looked at by Autodesk Development for improved workflows.

I try it once and it is very difficult to modify once you add road and sidewalk. I would avoid this plugin until Autodesk find a method to allow you to edit it. I would use railing as your alternative for sidewalks and curbs because it does conform to the topo-surface.
