Description
With the rollout of the Toposolid tool in Revit 2024 software, and the deprecation of the familiar Toposurface tool, site modeling workflows have shifted—and not always for the better. Revit users are facing practical challenges: unmergeable toposolids, fussy floor excavations, and visible boundaries of toposolids that cannot be turned off, to name a few. This session will unpack those pain points head-on and offer field-tested solutions. We'll walk through a hybrid, adaptive workflow that uses Civil 3D software for precision and transitions strategically to the Toposolid tool for documentation and collaboration. With accessible methods and work-arounds, this class will be packed with tactics you can apply immediately. You'll leave with real-world guidance and a clear sense of how to work with Revit software’s evolving terrain tools, instead of against them.
Key Learnings
- Discover core characteristics of the Revit Toposolid tool and how they affect common site-modeling workflows.
- Learn about applying hybrid modeling techniques that combine the precision of Civil 3D surfaces with the compatibility of the Toposolid tool.
- Learn about implementing work-arounds for missing features such as merging surfaces and boundary visibility.
- Discover the tool and skills ecosystem necessary for successful use of the Toposolid tool.
