Revit Architecture Site/Topography Help

[Padave]

here is the scenario helpfully someone can help me with it today, it is a typical situation someone should come across. Say you have an existing site/building you put it into Revit ,and you add an addition on to it, but then you have to take the existing site/topo and edit that and green, delete green , redo parking etc...well i Duplicated the site with detailing, not as dependent. but that changes still reflect on my Existing Site layout, i want to edit the existing boundaries, course i may be doing "the boundaries" the wrong way too.

thank you

You've got to add phasing to the mix.

In settings/phasing set up a new phase after the phase your existing topo was created in.

Then go to your duplicated view, and change it's phase to the new phase.

Using the graded region tool, select your existing topo. The tool will duplicate the existing topo in the new phase, where you can grade and modify it.

Once you complete the editing session, you'll have the orginal view with the existing topo, and the duplicated view with the new graded topo.

you know i think i may have been doing sites totally wrong, i'd make the topo, then to make the areas (grass,asphalt etc) i would use subregion, well now doing your way i still get an erro cand place a subregoing over another. is there a tutorial on using the site tools? and not just a simple how to make a your square box?

thanks

When using the graded region tool, any sub-regions on the original topo will pass to the new topo.

You'd then edit those sub-regions, rather than placing new sub-regions over those.
