I have a project where I am fabricating large boulders. I have a topography surface, and know that footings for the fabricated boulders must be located approximately 2' below grade. How can I use a topo surface to cut the boulders I have designed so that I may find out the volume of concrete I need? This is also a crucial step in my construction drawings. I designed the boulders in AutoCAD and imported them to Revit, where I did the rest of the work, so it would be easiest to modify them there.

Read the tutorial below:
Or, you can split the topo surface following the boulder footprint, create a schedule with a calculated value to get the volume based on the surface area. You can move the splitted area down 2' if you want.
Hi @Anonymous
Try to create the topography as a custom in-place family. Then you can use a custom void shape to cut the topography.
Revit lists the volume properties in the Properties palette.
See HERE for information on how to Reporting Cut and Fill Volumes on a Site.
Can you share a screen-shot of the section with your boulders and site?
HERE is screen-cast by @Lance.Coffey on how to cut sides in a topography.
