  1. Site & Grading Plans Chapter 6

  2. Site Analysis: • Drainage • Traffic (vehicular, pedestrian, transportation) • Weather (rain, sun, snow, wind) • Vicinity • Neighborhood character (both positive and negative elements)

  3. Site Analysis: • Topography • Zoning (easements, covenants) • Past, present, and future conditions

  4. Site Analysis: • Boundaries • Setbacks • Lot shape (orientation) • Site utilities (electric, gas, telephone, TV, water)

  20. Adding a Site Within Revit • Within Revit, you will find a hand full of site tools. These tools are underrated, and can be of real use for you.

  21. Splitting the Surface and Creating Sub Regions • Adding a mass of dirt and grass is nice, but perhaps we need areas where there are different materials, pavement and roadways. Revit has tools to deal with that.

  22. Adding Site Components • Trees, Shrubs and anything that grows out of the ground. We can add it into our model. The best thing about these items is the fact that they are hosted at whatever elevation they are placed on in the site.

  23. Adding Contour Properties and Labels • Just like everything else in Revit, a toposurface is a parameter driven item. That means we can reach in and derive information.

  24. Adding Building Pads to Displace Earth • Building pads are to be considered “site slabs”. This is because a pad is placed just like a floor. The only difference is the fact that a pad allows the site to stick to it.

  25. Adding a Property Line • Property lines are based on Northing Easting coordinates. There is almost nothing in Revit that is just “dumb” lines.

  26. Creating a Toposurface by Instance • We can always get our topography information from Civil 3D! Sure why not. If your civil engineer did the work, don’t just throw it away!

  27. Creating a Graded Region • That’s right! We can move earth in Revit. When you alter the elevation in an area of an existing toposurface, Revit will make the determination as to if it is a cut or a fill.

  28. Orientating a Site • Revit allows each view to be orientated to either project north, or true north. This also plays an important role in energy modeling and solar studies.
