Hello all,
The project I'm working on has sloped exterior wall whose thickness reduces towards the top of the wall.
As the pads are cutting the toposurface vertically, I'm struggling to find a way to create a toposurface infill as shown in red below:
I've found that site project could do things like this but as I'm using Revit 2021 this is not an option.
If I create an in-place topography then the graphics are different with those of the toposurface.
Any suggestions on this? Is there a way to do it or I have to rely on annotation tools to make it look correct?
Why don't you just use a "Earth" Filled Region to "fill' in the gap in those Section Views?
Beside the sections, there are elevations and plans, as well as perspective sections, so I was trying to avoid any annotation tools. I was hoping for a modeling solution so that the projection of the topo onto these sloped walls would be displayed right.
Moreover, as I wrote above, site contouring and graphics are not matching between any in-place element and toposurface, and it's hard to model something that seems right in all views.
It's a pitty (and quite frustrating) though that tools as Site Designer are being added to more complex software as Civil 3D. Escpecially for simple issues as the above..
Generally basic, small-scale earthworks is a scope of work expected by us, I can't see any reason to become engaged with Civil 3D which is desinged to deliver different kind of projects.
Yah guy, I don't know what kind of feedback you are looking for, but Revit is primarily a BIM tool and Toposurfaces are not models for BIM. They are pretty much what their name implies...they are surfaces only, not mass forms. They have no volume -- or "fill" content beneath the SURFACE. The Toposurface representation (e.g. the "depth") you see in cross-section has no BIM Value whatsoever. It's smoke and mirrors created by the Elevation of the Poche Base value in the Site Settings Dialog Box. If you are looking for BIM content, you need to model it.
If I have got it right, toposurface does have BIM content, isn't it the net cut/fill? Or have I got it wrong?
We are trying to manage the site sustainably so we need the net cut/fill to come as closer to 0 as possible.
As these sloped walls is a main feature of the building all around it, these infills do make a difference in the net.
I guess then that I have to model it as in-place topography and try to fudge its graphics to make them look similiar to that of the toposurface, right?
