MERGE TOPOSOLIDS

[rosendo.casarrubias.7]

In previous revit versions you could join two toposurfaces previously splited, with the new tool on you split a toposolid, you are doomed to never combine them again, I think is a necessary feature to be able to merge previously splited toposolids

Thank you for the suggestion and I hope more will put their votes on this important feature.

Working with terrain models means many iterations and changes. Also, sometimes one needs to combine multiple sources and they might come in different intervals.

In the meantime, here is a workaround that might help everyone finding their way here:

I got a solution that is a bit better, but still not the optimal solution that we all are looking for.

• Isolate the topography surfaces you want to merge.
• Export the scene to DWG - Both Solids or Mesh works
• Link the DWG back into Revit
• Now create a Toposolid from Import and pick the DWG you just imported.
• You can now erase the old ones

But lets not accept the workaround, and push for a fix on this big lack in Toposolids.

Divided Toposolids cannot be recombined as Toposurfaces can be. Another fatal flaw.

I used to do topography work in just a few minutes with the ground points. I could align with the walls, wouldn't accidentally move the terrain because instead of moving the point, I move the terrain... I could SEE the points I wanted to align with a reference plane... All this in exchange for a "better representation" and digging holes under the ground. Things that I bet not even 5% of users need... Congratulations, they messed up one of Revit's most powerful tools.

Without this functionality toposolid tool is usless 😠
