Why do I have a blue site, like the thing is flooding? I have a topo laid down, the material is standart asphault, yet every time I am in a 3d perspective or a camera view, there are all these triangular blue flood zones. When you render, these come out white? I've tried turning off the ground plane and every other little thing I can think of. Has anybody else ran into this before?

By chance, do you have a DWG file loaded or linked that is visible in the view?

Yes I do. But I turned it off and it still does the same thing.

Could it be triangulation? Do you have that turned off? I know it is off by default, so that may not be it. Maybe you could post a screenshot of what is going on?

I have everything but the top itself turned off under topography and it still seems to be showing up. Weird.

It almost looks like there are 2 sites on top of each other. If you delete one is there another one there? Are there subregions involved? Those can cause some problems sometimes as well.

it has to do with phasing. did you do a graded region? Revit basically creates two topos when you do, one for exisitng, and one for new so it can calculate cut/fill between them. Try changing your phase filters in the view.

I think its the temporary(when you create and demo at the same phase) phase, the default temporary phase is blue.

You guys are awesome....bunch of geniuses! I forgot I was trying to get my grade to depress at my loading dock ramp and I was trying to use a graded region at one point. (don't know how) Thanks a lot!
