Revit Topography and Site Modeling 3

Question 1

In a Revit site plan, which setting controls the interval at which contour lines are displayed on a toposurface?

Accepted Answer

Site Settings contour interval under Manage tab

Answer

The contour interval for toposurfaces is set in Manage > Additional Settings > Site Settings, where you define primary and secondary contour intervals.

Question 2

A Civil engineer exports a site survey as an ADSK file. What Revit workflow should be used to incorporate this data?

Accepted Answer

Use 'Link Topography' to import the ADSK file as a linked toposurface

Answer

Revit's 'Link Topography' command (Site Designer) imports ADSK files from Civil 3D or InfraWorks as a linked, updatable toposurface.

Question 3

What is the effect of setting the 'Room Computation Height' to 0 on a level near a toposurface?

Accepted Answer

Rooms are computed at the level's elevation, which can cause issues if the toposurface intersects the level

Answer

A computation height of 0 means rooms are measured at the level plane itself; if the toposurface intersects that plane, room boundaries may be inaccurate.

Question 4

Which Revit Site component family category is used to place objects like trees, shrubs, and parking spaces on a toposurface?

Accepted Answer

Site

Answer

Site component families (category: Site) include elements like parking spaces and light poles, while Planting is the category for vegetation.

Question 5

When linking a point cloud to Revit for toposurface creation, which command generates the toposurface geometry from the cloud data?

Accepted Answer

Toposurface > Create from Point Cloud

Answer

After linking a point cloud, use the 'Create from Point Cloud' option within the Toposurface command to sample points and generate surface geometry.
