Gradients
Can anyone tell me the easiest method of creating the correct contours
of a site? I have imported a file from AutoCAD for the site contours and thats all
good, but now that i have placed my building on it i need to correct parts which may need to be cut or filled to suit.

Aaron,
the easiest method assuming you have a 3D autocad file, is:
- select the imported 3D contour data in the drawing area.
- then add points from the selected layers dialogue box which appears.
- select the layers you what Revit to apply elevation points to & click OK.
- Revit should then analyze the imported 3D data and generate a toposurface based on the elevation points placed along the contour lines.
- click finish surface when done.
However, most surveyors, I've dealt with in Oz, don't supply you with a 3D file, at the very very best you can get a "points" file and import them, but most usually give you a flat 2D file.
Then unfortunately, you create to surface by picking points along the imported contour line, at a set value for the Elevation (set value in Options Bar).
The revit help gives a good step-by-step procedure... clear as mud...
