View 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 Toposolid.
2. Select the toposolid.
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. Optional. To create a graded region of the topography, click Massing & Site tabModify Site panel (Graded Region).

   In the Edit Graded Region dialog, select Create a new topography exactly like the existing one, then select the toposolid. This step demolishes the original element and creates a copy that occupies the same boundary as the original.

5. Click Modify.
6. Select the toposolid copy.

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

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

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