Toposolid Cut Geometry - windows not cutting

I'm working in Revit LT 2025.

 

I have done a toposolid of the site and been able to excavate the floors successfully, however when I do Cut Geometry to cut in the walls, where the windows are does not cut (see image).

 

Does anyone know who to fix this?

What you are experiencing is TOPO will not be cut by a window family even if the host wall is cutting the TOPO. so the TOPO will be shown going through the window. This is a rare case to have a window retaining topography behind it. If you really want the window to "cut" the topography then you could create a wall "opening" that is the same size at the window opening and then cut or join the topo with the wall opening. The results are shown below.

This is not really a very elegant solution. In my opinion this is a shortcoming of Revit at the moment with Toposolids.

 

It does "Cut" Toposolid now, but it's too many extra steps in a workflow that should be simple.
