I know there has been nothing posted about this in some time so I wanted to ask...
I've never dealt much with topography but now I do...
I am hoping to make it so the walls can attach them selves to the topography, so I get that clean elevation line of where they meet...
If yall have your own way to fudge it, anything helps and thanks in advance....

To my knowledge its not possible to attach a wall to topography. I've been using subregions where the lines are on the wall line which then creates a line when viewed in elevation/section/3d

You can also extend a building pad out to the exterior face of your walls, which will drop the topography down underneath the building. I use a thin 1/4" pad called "Vapor Barrier" and set it 8" below my floor slab, and then the topography comes up to the building generally 6" below the floor level. That gives me a clean line in elevations. Then in section views I hide the Pads category and everything looks clean.

It can be done. It requires some work and some sacrificial elements but I've seen it done before. See the link below for a tutorial. Marcello Sgambelluri is a genius when it comes to Revit and can do things that the people at Autodesk think is impossible.

Just to be controversial: How would you build it though? ;-)
