Let's Talk Topography: Creating Site Models in Revit Tutorial

Topography and Revit... Usually, these two terms together give Revit users major agita. I feel you. I do. In this episode I talk about creating site models in Revit tutorial.

With that in mind, I thought it would be interesting to dedicate an entire episode of BIM After Dark Live to some of the tips, tricks, and hacks I use to get useful site models out of Revit.
