How to Connect the Building with the Toposolids in Revit Tutorial

--------------------------------------------
In this Revit tutorial I will show you how to connect your buildings with all new Toposolids in Revit 2024. By following this tutorial you will learn how to cut toposolids with foundations, walls and floors. You will also learn how to use voids to create openings in the toposolids for the undergroung levels and how to create and represent excavation work inside of Revit.

These topo solids don’t really seem like they’re very good at doing actual civil work. It feels like they’re just meant to make architectural plans look pretty. It would be nice to be able to link a civil 3-D surface and have it behave like a topo solid in Revit while maintaining a link to the surface so as the project progresses, you can get updated surface. You can do all that now but the surface doesn’t behave like a topo solid.

You're simply the best, thank you so much!!!

I just installed RVT 2024 and figured out that I have to find totally other workflow for landscaping and ground works than I had before with toposurfaces. Removing building pads really hit me hard in this matter. I understand how to work with flat topography, it's more complicated with voids but whatever. Problems begins when I have sloped topography, where I need to cut the ground on on side and fill on the other side. I still have not found a good solution for that. The basic one is to modify sub-elements, though this method is really bad because I am messing up the original topography which I have from survey on global scale, not locally where I need it. Also there is no more split tool for topography and if I have for example 20 land plots in single project I have to manually build the toposolid for each one of them and than cut them according to property lines.
It's a pain 😒😒. Changing to toposolids is okay, I get it. But why was it necessary to remove building pads, split/merge topography and etc. Cm'on

Thank u so simple so helpful as always!

I think you can simply use filled region to cut topo in section when you are not really considering BIM

[thaunghansi]

Thanks you for your sharing sir. Could you share how to find excavation volume(m3) with revit.

[kaellis]

If the building slab is a few feet above the primary toposolid, how do you fill in the earth in the model from top of topo to underside of raised slab?

[VendorVendor]

Any possible way you could update the basic and advanced course with some in-depth toposolid tutorials?

[andresvaldovinos]

Hello everyone! I miss the Construction Platform command. How can I make a soil fill in a clean and orderly way in a similar way? Playing with masses and toposolids I find cumbersome and Very good video as always ! Best regards!

[joser.ferrer]

Hello mister Balkan, is there a way to fill like when you used to place a platform let's say 1 meter above the topography?

[christopherforsyth]

Is there a solution to cutting the footings when multiple building files are linked into the master file, which contains the toposolid?

[robertiravonga]

Do you have a complete tutorial package?

[gustafvanwyk]

Thank you Snr Balkan Architect. Always very helpful. I'm busy doing a huge site which requires detailed earthworks planning. How does this method effect the net cut/fill of the original toposolid? If it's not reliable then so be it. But if it is, that would be so bloody helpful! And I would buy you a coffee if you're ever in Rome.

[abdijibarfarhan]

What can I do if i cant cut my floor out??

[Chase.Charli]

Show how do connect a toposolid to a point cloud.

[dan_dan_the_youtube_man]

Couldn't you have just made the void geometry as a solid geometry (in a toposolid category) and change the type of toposolid to new earth instead? I've never tested it but adding the void manually to me feels like adding extra unnecessary steps

[larryweissenburger]

Has your course on your website for topography been updated to reflect 2024?

[tobiasl]

hello - an other brilliant videao - thanks
Question:
I would like to have the site (the toposolid) in one project file and the building(s) in seperate files. The idea is that this alows me to move the buildings around the site to find the best location.
Is there a way to cut the toposolid with elements from a linked project?
Or is my aproach a bad one in the first place?

[RevitSmart]

Yeah i'm sticking with Revit 2023 for now to avoid this stuff haha
