Viewing the Cut/Fill Volumes

This procedure is a general method of reporting cut/fill values. There are other ways to report values, including sketching a new surface within an existing surface.

1. Create a toposurface in a site plan view. See Toposurfaces.
2. Select the toposurface.
3. On the Properties palette, set Phase Created to a phase earlier than the view's phase.

   For example, when the view's phase is New Construction, set the Phase Created value to Existing.

4. Create a graded region on the toposurface.

   How to

   • Click Massing & Site tabModify Site panel (Graded Region).
   • In the Edit Graded Region dialog, select Create a new toposurface exactly like the existing one.
   • Select the toposurface.

   This step demolishes the original surface and creates a copy that occupies the same boundary as the original.

5. Click (Finish Surface).
6. Select the toposurface copy.

   You may need to press Tab to select the copied surface.

In the Properties palette, Revit lists the new cut/fill properties for the toposurface.

Note: You can apply a phase filter to the view to see only new elements, and not demolished ones. See Phase Filters.
