LAB: Topo-what? Getting the Most Out of the New Toposolid in Revit (Part 1)
Synopsis:
Revit 2024 has introduced some big changes in the realm of landscape and site modeling, primarily with a new Category: Toposolid. In this class, we will explore the features of this new topo element, looking at both the OOTB Revit functionality and automation possibilities with the FOREground app.
Learning Objectives:
1. Identify the various applications and common uses of the Toposolid category.
2. Understand how to modify Toposolid, especially the Shape Editing and Sub-Divide tools.
3. Learn the various methods for geometry joining and cut/fill of Toposolid to other elements.
4. Understand the API applications and limitations of working with Toposolid.
Body:
In this class we will review the following:
1. Intro to Toposolid, including comparison to Toposurface and Floors
2. Potential uses of Toposolid
3. Toposolid Workflows
– Generate or convert new Toposolid
– Shape Editing changes
– Subdivisions
– Contour lines
– Geometry joining
– Phasing and cut/fill
4. API/FOREground applications of Toposolid
