Hello and thanks for your input!
I am trying to crop objects that fall outside of a drawn shape. Similar in concept to the "mask" feature in Adobe Illustrator. No luck thus far in finding how best to do this in Revit, please help!
Parking objects (turfstones) are arranged in a pattern and are hosted by the toposolid. I am trying to crop the portions of the turfstones that fall outside the desired driveway shape (drawn as a boundary object in image 2). What is the best way to do this?

Thanks!
Since you have a toposolid, you could do this area as a Subdivision. Then create a surface pattern that represent those turfstones. If you want to have the exact appearance, you can use PyRevit's tool for making custom patterns. With PyRevit, draw the pattern, create a surface pattern file, create a material with that surface pattern, and apply that material to the Subdivision.

Masking region?
Well, if you want to use a masking region instead of what I suggested, it's up to you. That will change the appearance of your site plan view, but once you go to a section or 3d view, the masking region won't have any effect.
Did you place the stones one by one? If so, create an impact mass with a SOLID form and use it to cut the stones one by one. Why don't you use a material instead?
Thank you all for your input on this! I ended up just making a material as it was the simplest method.
