Creating topography from a DWG link
- [Instructor] There are many scenarios where you might need to use imported data from other programs in Revit, and one very common scenario is when you're working with a civil engineer. There is no Revit civil package, so civil engineers are often working in AutoCAD Civil 3D or MicroStation. So, if they produce a file that you want to use in your Revit project, it will come in in one of those file formats. So in this video, I'm going to link in a CAD file that represents the site plan information for my project and then use that to create a Revit element called a toposurface. So, I'm going to get started in the site plan actually, because the display characteristics of the site plan are more suitable to the information that I'm going to be bringing in. Then I'll go to the Insert tab and I'll click on Link CAD, and I'll single click the AutoCAD site plan file that I have listed right here. Now, if you've watched previous video, we imported a floor plan. I'm going to use largely the…
