how would you guys model a site like the one onthe dwf attached?
I need help, I have the house modeled but no site.

I don't have dwf viewer installed on this computer, but do you have the actual site info (contours or points), or are you going to model it free form?

i dont have the cotours or point. that would make it very easy. so i tryed to put point "free style" but dont get anywhere.

While in Revit hit the F1 key... goto search tab... type "toposurface points" and you'll find information on creating a toposurface from points.

I don't have Revit open in front of me, but I watched someone make a free form site the other day, and it seemed pretty simple. Just roughly sketch in some forms, you need three points at a minimum, and edit the individual points of the toposurface. You can slide them up and down in the z-axis to get the slopes you want.

If you try placing points outside of your view range they may be there but not be visible. Are you trying to place points but it appears that nothing is happening? This could be the problem.
