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.
- Create a Toposolid.
- Select the toposolid.
- 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.
- Optional. To create a graded region of the topography, click Massing & Site tab
Modify 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.
- Click Modify.
- 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.
