Balkan Architect your voice is mesmerizing, Really Great

[dillee]

Thank you, I'm learning slowly but surely.

[josepharzuaga]

All your tutorials have help me out tremendously! Thank You Balkan.

[faten]

What would I do without you!
Thank you so much for all your videos!

[tittusanthony]

Mr. Balkan you are a great teacher!😊 Love from india💐

[funkyseefunkydo]

Hey Balkan. Thanks for the video man. Very informative. Cheers.

[sarrigayat]

Thanks a lot. Gonna try this on my next project.

When I create a topography by entering points above sea level, Revit places the topography up in the sky, despite that fact that I've specified coordinates at level 1 so that "level 1" is 500'.

Thanks a bundle Sir!it was most helpful.

[vasudevjosyula]

finally <3 huhuuu....! so kind of u.. thanku sir...but still many doubts r left...only if u focus on topography it will easily reach more than 10 videos(also depends on duration). i hope u will continue to post such videos ontopography, bec there r such issues for students like me where it cannot be solvedin forums also..

I love your accent thanks for the video

2 things that I don't like in Revit for the Topo Surfaces. #1 - You can not export Civil 3D points with a Dot style because Revit does not recognize DOTS ! So when you import Civil 3D points as a CAD file from AutoCAD or Civil 3D, you have to import points with a cross style. But then Revit is going to create topo points in every ends of the crosses that represent the points, instead of only using the center of the point. #2 - We cannot create topo breaklines to prevent points from triangulating wrongly... I have been spending hours and hours to get a satisfying topo surface in Revit that would match Civil 3D, and I can't make it happen. I understand that Revit ain't Civil 3D, but still.

The system sound is a little distracting, would be nice to avoid in the future. Thanks!

[maartenecheverria]

wen i go to the 3d view it is still flat why is it? how can i solve it?

[AnnickBraspenning-gr]

Thank you, do you know how to solve inaccurate triangulations from a cad import when there are vertical elements like a curb, steps or retaining walls in the site?

[ronyramirez]

BA, thank you for this. How would you work a ramp into an earth berm effectively?

[simmonsstudio]

Be great to have a more technical video that shows how to model vertical drops better, real world things like 6" curbs, curb cuts, and walls into topography.

It makes me sad that Revit stopped supporting the topo addon developed by Eagle Point (I forget what Revit called it.) Eagle Point used points and break line with lots of clever way to adjust them. The 'building pad' barley works and adding or moving points around will get you in trouble when you get confused about which ones are the real ones and which ones you created.

[jirenuniverse]

Please Balkan, no more errors, ur computer sounds louder than you

[adotube]

Very nice, 💪🏼💪🏼😎
But, I have a building with a garage in the earth, so how can I delete the earth/landscape who ist in my garage?
There needs to stay some earth over and under the garage... I just can't delete the earth in my garage :/
