    Default Surface Tool Triangulation

    Hi,

    Have you ever wanted to trim the top of a retaining wall to the top of your toposurface?
    Well now you can.

    User instructions:
    1) Create a building pad that follows your retaining wall.
    2) Draw your retaining walls so they project above the surface. (make sure location line is set to core centreline)
    3) Select the toposurface and run the surfacetool command.
    4) Edit the walls profile, by snapping to the end points of the new model lines.

    Install instructions:
    1) Unzip the attached file to c:\surfacetool
    2) Copy the addin file to your revit addins directory

    PS Thanks to Jeremy Tammik for making this possible!

    Enjoy
    Anthony
