Great tips. I recently opened the new sample project for Revit, and it has a nice, simple approach on how to design roads: they are nothing but a subdvision, shorter than other subdvisions (such as grass and sidewalks). 😉
Great tutorial. @Balkan Architect, the option about CUT/FILL is OLD, more than 17 years ;). Congratulations for your patience and quality of the content. Cheers from Brazil.
Please make a video and explain how these three parameters work in the properties of the level: On the floor above, Load-bearing structures, building a floor.
Excellent presentation, thank you. Another easy way to create a pad is to split the topo as you demonstrated and reset the shape, then you can adjust the height to suit. It is annoying how you can't delete sub-elements, or am I missing something?
Thank you for your video, would it be possible to do a tutorial on how to build underground while keeping the original topographyon top of the building? As this feature didn't exist in revit 2023.
Is there a way for the toposolid to keep the paths and roads generated from AutoCad on the model also? I am doing a winery on the river Seine in France and when I created the toposolid it swallowed up half of the generated buildings
Hi, talking about graded region, you show that moving sub elements gives the correct net cut/fill value. Is there a way to cut toposolid with in place components or families, and keep having the correct net cut/fill value, without using Environment plug in?
Thanks for this tutorial. I found it very helpful. I have one question. @21:04 when I apply the -200 offset to my cut it moves the whole cut down by 200 which means I will have a protrusion at the bottom. Can you help me find out how to resolve this?
thx for the turorial. I would be more curious in Revit 2023 how would you go about making a topo for an existing house on a very sloped terrain and also phase that terrain for the proposed works. The real problem is when a house is carving into the surface and trying to phase that out. Maybe you find some time to talk about it. Thank you.
Hello, this tutorial has been very useful. I would like know if it is possible to import finished plans from one revit file to another. I have finished plans that i want to send into a new project but i can only import drafting view and schedule but i cannot import plans.
17:48 this subdivision can be turned on a estructural element and apply to it some rebars? It can be perfect to modeling a nailing soil, (a type of soil stabilization.)
Yet another half-finished "upgrade" by Autodesk. At least the have advanced part of the tool beyond 1997... Thanks for your detailed overview, Balkan Architect.
Waiting for my Co to implement upgrade. Can anyone tell me if you can have varied ground layers under surface. Can you specify these levels to get an idea of how these levels will look?
Modeling Landscapes is absolutel the hadest among all the disciplines. Neither architecture, nor MEP or ther engineering divisions have and need such complicated modeling. Landscape is absolutely the most challenging and it is great to see that more and more features and being added to make things easier.
When I use Graded Region, I have two toposolids, one in existing phase and one that has some mass removed in new phase. Revit only gives a number in the "filled" tab, but shouldn't this be in the "cut" tab?
Thanks for the tutorial, very helpful. Question, once the Toposolid has been split, how do you unsplit it or merge one toposolid to another? Without undoing? Revit 2023 used merge which was brilliant to adapt a topography to show different options as the project evolved. The join tool does not suffice, as you're still left with many pieces of toposolid. Help on the subject would be much appreciated.
As always... Extreemely clear and concise. I would like you to know that when I did download the newest revit and saw this changes... I inmediately thought of you. Probably I´d be taking the site course in a couple weeks as well. Thanks you !
Hi. Great Video. I tried to create the toposolid from an autocad file and then my toposolid is flat and there are no contour lines. Do you know why? Is something regarding the autocad file? Thank you
@6:00 your import looks like it adhered to the contour lines exactly, but when I imported mine, it did not. I've gone down so far as importing 0.1m and 0.25m contour lines, but it STILL does not adhere to the contour lines. Is it possible to refine the mesh/decrease the size of the mesh faces in Revit? I've tried every different way of exporting the file with different contours/points/grids I can think of and nothing works very well.
Creating Toposolid by using excel points. Does it means coordinates? or can you make tutorial showing points table also that how you add and thenuse it in revit to create toposolid?
The voids are all good and well, but when the site is sloping more drastically, it does not fill the gap which exists above the surface but under the floor. So far I am not having much luck with the new Toposolids...
Can you do a video on correct practice for detailing/annotating a Topo solid site. I find that there is an issue with dimensioning sloping gradients. Revit will now dimension lock on the hypotenuse(slope) rather and therefore site information that would be presented in 2D is different to 3D. I.E the steeper the slope of a ramp the difference between 2D and 3D will become larger. There must be a term for this perhaps.
You are amazing! Can you show a quick video on how to plot point on excel? I do civil but we mostly work with horizontal and vertical points but you mentioned that we need “z” points 🙏
Why, when I create the toposolid and want to make a path, it doesn't let me change said path or give it depth? It doesn't allow me to place anything in negative quantities
i cant for the life of of my get rid of the terrain inside the house i made. the building pad feature was so easy to use, but my group insists on making the house in 2024 and this feature is no longer there.
so making the topography solid means that it will now be included in clash detection warnings right? if that is the case, the new upgrade just makes it worse
Hi, I wrote several emails asking for information, but I have not received a reply. I would be interested in buying a course related to topographic modeling with Revit. I wanted to know if the course is also available in Italian (even only subtitles, not automatic). Thk
How to join a region of topography that was previously separated from the topography? I separated the area of the land on which the architectural project will be carried out, from the rest of the topography so that when I change the contours of my terrain, the contours around the terrain do not change. It happens that I want to modify the region of my land, and the problem is that I can't unite the region that was previously separated with the rest of the existing topography of the surroundings (I reasoned that I need to unite two regions so that I can redraw the area that will be separated again ). Can someone help me ? 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤
Please make a tutorial in which you actually build a structure or a small house on an irregular site and then calculate cut and fill and put the house on same level and after that please create elevations with site line
So...if we need to put a building pad at higher level than the terrain? the only way to adapt that terrain to this floor is creating points manually? I'm not sure if this is a improvement :( This is what I Mean ua-cam.com/video/F4V4YKx0vVY/v-deo.html
Yes sir ! I was waiting for this !!
Exactly what I needed, thanks!
You are amazing. You have been my best teacher. I'm grateful
Great tips. I recently opened the new sample project for Revit, and it has a nice, simple approach on how to design roads: they are nothing but a subdvision, shorter than other subdvisions (such as grass and sidewalks). 😉
Amazing content! thanks for that
Great Tutorial as always. Thank You Sir.
I've been waiting for these features for years! Thank you for your videos.
Literally all what I needed.. thank you VERY MUCH
Wow, first video ever with a really interesting sponsor moment.
Great tutorial. @Balkan Architect, the option about CUT/FILL is OLD, more than 17 years ;). Congratulations for your patience and quality of the content. Cheers from Brazil.
Great video. Thank you
Amazing sir
Thanks this changed on new version was confusing.
bro you are amazing. thanks for your content
I appreciate that!
I used floors instead of Topo surface since 2018. Happy with it so far. And the best thing about it, is that you can phase it!
You can phase subregions too... but this new version is shite haha
Thanks a lot well explained.
thank you so much!
I honestly don't use topography enough. Thanks for sharing your tips
Thank you a lot
THANK YOU
Absolutely amazing tutorial! For me, the video thats useful for me starts from 14:21 - Contours (Graphics) till the end!
Great! Thanks!
thanks, this video help me a lot
Please make a video and explain how these three parameters work in the properties of the level: On the floor above, Load-bearing structures, building a floor.
Fantastic.
Excellent presentation, thank you. Another easy way to create a pad is to split the topo as you demonstrated and reset the shape, then you can adjust the height to suit. It is annoying how you can't delete sub-elements, or am I missing something?
The fact that you can’t create negativ values for subdivisions makes this tool a lot worse
Huh come again ?
Yeah they should allow negative values for subdivisions.
Thanks!
Thank you for your video, would it be possible to do a tutorial on how to build underground while keeping the original topographyon top of the building? As this feature didn't exist in revit 2023.

thank you revit god
can we create the terrain with curved lines? instead of dots
thx for the turorial. I would be more curious in Revit 2023 how would you go about making a topo for an existing house on a very sloped terrain and also phase that terrain for the proposed works. The real problem is when a house is carving into the surface and trying to phase that out. Maybe you find some time to talk about it. Thank you.
Hello, this tutorial has been very useful. I would like know if it is possible to import finished plans from one revit file to another. I have finished plans that i want to send into a new project but i can only import drafting view and schedule but i cannot import plans.
I HOPE U CAN DO A NEW VID ON SCHEDULES FOR TOPOSOLIDS, IM HAVING ISSUES WITH GETTING THE CUT/FILL PARAMETERS TO SHOW UP, UR VIDS ARE REALLY HELPFUL!!
Finally we can applied differents patterns on topography, for 3D views this is a big improvement
You could always split topo and apply different patterns.
17:48 this subdivision can be turned on a estructural element and apply to it some rebars? It can be perfect to modeling a nailing soil, (a type of soil stabilization.)
Oh!! Nice :3

perfect
Great video. But what about creating building pads in Lite? Can't use Massing or Component-Model-in-Place.
Excelente!

i believe you just delete the subdivision
yes great, but can we now dimension to it in section?
Hi sir, to draw path around building should we use property line itself in the new revit
?
How did you link the CAD file at 4:55? I cant find anywhere where you can import the DWG file and make it visible in your revit model
As always... Extreemely clear and concise. I would like you to know that when I did download the newest revit and saw this changes... I inmediately thought of you. Probably I´d be taking the site course in a couple weeks as well. Thanks you !
I laughed at the "(and I really dont like them)" part hahahahahahah
i tried to modeling with structural slabs but this type of soil stabilization need to be aligned exactly to the surface
Hi. Great Video. I tried to create the toposolid from an autocad file and then my toposolid is flat and there are no contour lines. Do you know why? Is something regarding the autocad file? Thank you
THE GOAT
The contours are not smooth compared to previous versions. Which sucks
@6:00 your import looks like it adhered to the contour lines exactly, but when I imported mine, it did not. I've gone down so far as importing 0.1m and 0.25m contour lines, but it STILL does not adhere to the contour lines.
Is it possible to refine the mesh/decrease the size of the mesh faces in Revit? I've tried every different way of exporting the file with different contours/points/grids I can think of and nothing works very well.
Wow, some great improvements, but still some tools need a review, subdivisions would be a powerful tool for large urban projects like airports.
😁
How can i work with toposolid in different phases?
As-is vs as-will in a comparative way
Can you do a video around taking lidar data and making a topo solid?
Creating Toposolid by using excel points. Does it means coordinates? or can you make tutorial showing points table also that how you add and thenuse it in revit to create toposolid?
The voids are all good and well, but when the site is sloping more drastically, it does not fill the gap which exists above the surface but under the floor. So far I am not having much luck with the new Toposolids...
Is it possible to add toposolid after the structure has been modeled? Thanks
Hi, is it possible/reasonable?/ to convert floor-modelled terrain into toposolid?
No encontré ningún video en español que me explicara ciertas cosas que tu explicaste, gracias.
Can you do a video on correct practice for detailing/annotating a Topo solid site. I find that there is an issue with dimensioning sloping gradients.

"unfortunately you cannot copy points" you said it
You are amazing! Can you show a quick video on how to plot point on excel? I do civil but we mostly work with horizontal and vertical points but you mentioned that we need “z” points 🙏
Perhaps you can try this:
ua-cam.com/video/sgeCHdDqtLE/v-deo.html
pads used to work both ways. you could have a building pad ABOVE the topo and it would fill below it. is there no way to do this now??
You can use shaft to make a pad in the tobosolid
Can Revit Toposolid sculpture like Zbursh or lumion, blender?
Voids don't factor into cut/fill calculation... unless I'm missing something?
How can I calculate heating and cooling load in Revit 2024
22:10 DO you think it would be a good practice to create a Design Option before splitting and altering the toposolid? 🤔
Interesting idea, I will look into that!
how to watch projects in 3d on mobile phone, and level by level
Where can I find the 'floor base void' component?
Thanks Balkan, where Content library is situated or to download it ?

Turn off topography for the clash model, simples...
I literally can't change the material of my divided topo solid. I can paint new material onto the OG solid but not the split. Please help!

thanks for this but you didn't demonstrate how to create a toposolid from an imported survey plan using the sketch method. cheers
Kindly share with me the link to access your revit files

how do you section a toposolid in revit 2024.1
What is the 'Piont' of this csv file? 7:06
How does it affect the quantification tables in cut and fill, does the construction platform exist?
No longer supported...
Could you please share with us the excel sheet and AutoCad file for that you use to generate the topsolid
Thanks for your video
Perhaps you can try this:
ua-cam.com/video/sgeCHdDqtLE/v-deo.html
Great tutorial! However, the Subdivide and Split tools generate too many errors with complex topo... back to the 2023 =(
URGENT....
How can i solve the problem when i group masses then when i copy the gropu it wont be copied!!!!
Is it possible to create a toposolid Out of a Pointcloud?
I wolud like to see a tutorial about creating water and shoreline, as is pictured in the thumbnail.
I use Revit LT. Is there another way to create a void? Revit LT doesn't have the massing tool.
You can use the component tool
What is the format of the csv file?
Please make a tutorial in which you actually build a structure or a small house on an irregular site and then calculate cut and fill and put the house on same level and after that please create elevations with site line
the toposolid it can't to be smooth it's big problem in the new update 😢
So...if we need to put a building pad at higher level than the terrain? the only way to adapt that terrain to this floor is creating points manually? I'm not sure if this is a improvement :( This is what I Mean ua-cam.com/video/F4V4YKx0vVY/v-deo.html
make a solid (could even be a floor) to the higher elevation needed. Make sure the base of this shape extends into the toposolid, then Join Geometry.
