About Using Topography from the Civil Engineer
When a civil engineer or a landscape architect creates topography data for a project and you want to reference it for a building model, you can link the topography to Revit.
About Positioning Linked Topography
When you link topography to the Revit model, the topography is placed in the Revit model using automatic positioning.
Video: Link Topography to the Building Model
To provide context for the building, link topography from the civil engineer to the Revit model.
About Working with Linked Topography
You can use linked topography in many of the same ways that you can use topography created in Revit.
Video: Work with Linked Topography
After you link topography from the civil engineer, you can work with the topography to incorporate it into the building design.
Link Topography
Create a link to topography that a civil engineer produced using Autodesk Civil 3D.
Topography Link Instance Properties
