Toposurface cut pattern

[AaronRRA]

Is there a way to change the toposurface cut patterns?  I want the fill beneath the building pad to be a gravel fill or 45 degree earth fill instead of the earth fill.  Also is there a way to change the relative "height" height of a toposurface so it "rests" on an existing topo surface?

Thanks,

AAron

You need to create a 45 degree cut pattern for Earth.  You can do it via pyRevit, HatchKit,  Pattycake.io, or edit the .pat file.

Regarding a new topo over an existing topo, use Grade Region and assign different Earth material to new and existing topos.

thank you, I am not able to assign any new patterns to the toposurface though.  I have tried changing them but it is not working.  It starts earth and I have tried assigning it to gravel but it still shows up as earth.  I want the area above the blue line below the gravel pad to show up as a different pattern.

Like this?

It is not changing it.   Does it actually change on yours?  Image is taken after I changed it and pressed ok then went back into the material editor.

I will try it in the morning! Thank you!

As you look at this you can see the graded pattern is also in the earth pattern.  Is there a way you can just have the bottom of the new upper grade / fill stop at the top of the existing grade?

Did you ever figure this out, I've been wanting to do the same thing.
