Revit Toposurface Sub-Region Annoyance #BIM Battlefield

Dear Autodesk,

Please allow the "create similar" command to create a new sub-region and not an entirely new toposuface.

Thanks,

Tutorial - Toposurface Notes

Great little set of guides from Alan over at Revit Learning Curve. Compliments my Studio Topo set of tutorials (see links on the right).

Here are some Guidance Notes that I put together on Toposufraces for our companies Revit Users when we first got revit, I hope they help anyone who is just exploring Toposurfaces.

I can't find a better way of uploading these to the blog other than by using jpg files that can then be downloaded as pictures and printed. If anyone knows how to upload Adobe files to a blog please let me know.

Enjoy

Tutorial - Topo Surface 3 (Learning Curve)

Great tutorial over at Revit Structural Learning Curve.

...Since my last posting about Topo Surfaces and looking at water and flooding, we seem to be having more lengthy discussions with the Environmental Agency these days with regards to flooding in conjunction with global warming and climate change.

The Environmental Agency provide us with maps showing the 1 in 200 year Tidal Events + 2070 Climate Change Prediction Depth Grid Maps centred on our site.

One assumes that they obtain levels from the OS Maps and or aerial photographs to build such models. Using Revit we are able to model the Existing and Proposed sites and show them more accurately the flood pattern for different levels of water.

We can also provide them with volumes of water held on the site....

Tutorial - Studio Topo Tip - Part 1

The program is laid out, the concept or idea is brainstormed, you've been researching for days, and you have gone through a roll of trace already.  Your professor finally chooses a site for the project.  He posts a scanned image of the topographical map.  Now what?

Topics Covered:

- Importing and image

- Scaling the image to your project
