    Default Creating an Underground Parking Garage...

    I'm currently working on a school project that requires me to create underground parking for a 5 storey commercial building.

    I'm well on my way but am having a problem with the site.

    I need to find a way to have earth above the roof of my underground parking while still having it surround, and not be inside.

    I have the ground created using 'site - topography'
    I then created a pad using 'site - pad' for the interior of my underground parking to remove the earth from inside it.
    I then created a roof by using 'modelling - roof - roof by footprint' for the roof of the parking garage.

    My problem arises when I try to cover the roof with earth. I can't seem to find a way to make it so.

    I am currently using revit architecture 2009

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    Just tried something similar, not long ago.

    There´s two options i guess:

    1.
    Make an inplace topo on top of the parking garage "roof" to cover with earth,

    2. Make the entire topo as an inplace topo, and use a void to cut the entire garage out.

    (I ended up with option two, but only because the entire topo was rather flat))

    How exactly do i cut a void in the topography? only way that I'm aware of to create a space in topography is to use a pad.

    Use the Split Surface command.
