With the latest Autodesk tools we finally have the ability to generate a site for any location on the planet that has accurate terrain, buildings and most importantly accurately mapped satellite imagery on topography model in Revit. This site below was generated in second and loaded into Revit. This amazing result required absolutely no work in Revit.

• Basic Topo Modeling

Modeling the site can be quite challenging in Revit. The tools can seem quite easy to use, but limiting and lacking.

This is why it's all about the workflow when it comes to modeling the topography. We will cover different approaches to modeling different types of surfaces.

• Generating Topo from CAD and CSV files

Apart from learning how to model regular toposurfaces you will also learn how to generate topography from different types of 3D and 2D CAD files with different types of information. Also generating toposurfaces from a CSV Points files is covered as well as how to generate points files to use.

• Graphical and Visual Setup

Setting up the presentation and visual settings for topography can be challenging, this is why we will go over all settings so you can present your topography exactly how you want.

Landscape consists out of two parts Softscape (grass, earth, vegetation, water...) and Hardscape (paving, roads, sidewalks, concrete or stone covered surfaces...).

Modeling the Topography has it's specific tools, but what about the Hardscape. There are no tools for modeling roads, sidewalks, or just concrete and stone surfaces on your site.

This is why we will cover all possible methods of using workarounds and hacks for creating all hard surfaces on your site.

Revit sites are rarely building + site in one project. Usually you have separate files (and sometimes multiple people working on them).

Some projects require Multiple projects to be linked to one site.

This course covers the correct workflow for linking multiple Revit files, linking CAD files and all of that with correct coordination which insures accuracy.

Accurate layout of the property line is crucial for projects. This is why this course covers not only how to place them manually by sketching (free hand or by trancing over a CAD file), but also creating it by entering Length and Bearing information from the surveyor in the Property line table.

Phasing is an important part of site design. In this course you will learn how to setup phases for your projects. This way you will be able to accurately document the existing site and all changes that need to be made. Phasing is separated to show phasing both for the topography changes as well as changes to vegetation (which plants will have to be removed or planted on site).

Railing is an extremely important tool when it comes to site design. This is because railing has the ability to be placed on topography and have it follow the changing surface.

Because of this important property railing can be used for numerus site elements. This course will show how to implement railing for road markings, guardrails, fences and parking markings.

You will learn how to create your own custom railing families for the site.

When it comes to Revit, underground structures can be a complete nightmare. This is because native site creation tools are lacking for these types of projects.

This is why this course dedicates multiple lessons to different ways for creating such structures and presenting them accurately with the help of workarounds and hacks.
