[@alnzaidi]

Still the best video on the topic!

[@fontzman1080]

The video was so helpful Thank you

[@fantasticamr]

the hero we need

[@LanaAkopovi]

hello, I can't find property ''value'' in my data extraction. could you please tell how can i fix it? thank you in advance

[@BIM-Life]

Hi, sorry, I have no idea..

[@engrc9185]

same here

[@engrc9185]

i used the position z for it has our DWG file has its value plotted in z plane.

[@TheTAMTA777]

seems am not only one in this. could someone find a solution ? thanks

[@nadeem006]

Wow, Great very useful but i find this explanation too fast to grab quickly, however pausing many times and re-watching it has been solved the issue. Anyways Thank you so much for creating a unique way to extract Topography data from AutoCAD and using this data to make topography in Revit.

[@BIM-Life]

Glad it helped! You can always turn on captions and slow down the video by pressing Shift + < or speed up video by pressing Shit + > hope that helps :)

[@nadeem006]

@@BIM-Life Thank you 😊 once again for the reply

[@DesignSQ]

Cant get past the "select objects in current drawing" part. I manually selected my topo numbers with a crossing window but the "next" but doesn't allow me to move on to the next step. Any thoughts

[@BIM-Life]

Sorry, hard to tell without seeing your screen. Try to do as in video, step by step, maybe you missed something ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[@colocro]

Great tutorial, thank you!

[@kenbimrevit]

Love you Bro, you are the best!

[@stevepenn5981]

Hello please can you help me with the 2D-3D-topo.dxe file because I'm stuck there because I don't have that file and I can't seem to move forward

[@BIM-Life]

Hi, you have to create the dxe file, it's just a setting file that saves settings from EATTEXT command. Essentially you don't need that file to create .CSV file.

Thank you very much. you save my time

Do you know how I can do the same but with archicad , cause i tried to follow the steps , but didn’t end up the same way

[@BIM-Life]

Sorry, no idea

[@sarahhamici3341]

It’s okey , thanks a lot for the video

[@princessjewelsq]

its too fast

[@BIM-Life]

You can slow down the video by pressing Shift +

[@khalidhashemi1181]

hi i got a problem when i import the points it connects to level 0.00 and makes my 3d look wierd

[@BIM-Life]

There could be many issues. You can join Reddit group: www.reddit.com/r/RevitLife/ maybe we can help you there in more detail.

[@alekseikuzmenko6594]

great! Thank you a lot!

[@jarahaut3315]

I'm on Autocad 2025 and can't use the command EATTEXT or DATAEXTRACTION, any help, please?

[@BIM-Life]

Maybe you are using Autocad LT? LT version does not have these functions.

[@khalidhashemi1181]

When I check the elevations on revit it shows the easting instead of the elevation. Even though I put my csv in the xyz format.

[@BIM-Life]

Not sure what the problem is. There could be many issues. You can join Reddit group: www.reddit.com/r/RevitLife/ maybe we can help you there in more detail.

[@pyramidblack]

it was sooo hard to follow and so fast, but still good technique

[@BIM-Life]

You can slow down the video by pressing Shift + "

[@pyramidblack]

@@BIM-Life thanks for the reply. also, i can import topography but it is always a flat surface. other stuff is exactly the same. how can i solve this?

[@pyramidblack]
