topo survery from dwg

[pushenergy]

can someone tell me quickly which layer i need to bring in from the attached CAD file to create a contour map? i gte mixed results i thought it would be the contour layers? 

[Sahay_R]

Major and Minor Contours.

What mixed results are you talking about

Can you save the DWG to 2013 version?  I can't open 2018 files.

I'm a little confused. The dwg is planar. There is no definition. 

[Sahay_R]

You can save AutoCAD DWGs back to an older version.

Can you share a RVT with the incorrect toposurface on it?

[barthbradley]

What, @Sahay_R? I opened the DWG just fine. It's a 2D drawing. There is nothing to articulate a contoured surface in it.  

[Sahay_R]

Yes it is a 2D DWG. That's what the OP is going to use as a basis to drop his points on to generate elevations. And I was not the one who had trouble opening the file.....

[barthbradley]

sorry. guess that sounded challenging. My bad.

@pushenergy   hello, layer of contour point is SS_LEVEL_PNT.  there should be a value of your Position Z once you link your cad into revit to create a toposurf., unless you key-in your elevation point manually. thanks

[barthbradley]

LMAO!!! That's exactly the point I have been making: There is no "Z" in the dwg.  This begs the question: WHAT IS THE QUESTION?  "Can someone tell me quickly which layer I need to bring in from the attached CAD file to create a contour map?" What does this mean?  

...okay, sorry. Just having a rotten day. Love you all. 

[pushenergy]

Yes there are Z points i have now found them on a layer called 3D points,

[ennujozlagam]

@pushenergy hello, you are right the layer is SS_3d it was freeze that why we don't see them. thanks
