CUT AND FILL: Using REAL Toposurfaces

Real Toposurfaces in Revit are much better than just using Filled Regions on the Sections. They can also give you accurate contour lines on your Plan views and as well as display the CUT/FILL calculations in a schedule.
Use Real Toposurfaces as often as you can.
This Revit Tip will show you how to get the CUT/FILL operations working.

A virtual BIM Manager (me) means you and your team can get immediate help (and ongoing assistance) without dealing with the overhead of hiring someone full time.

Well explained Mike, nothing to add to it. The way you teach Revit makes it so easy to work with Revit. Thanks for all the endeavor. Ok I pardon you today for no 'SHARE MY SCREEN WITH YOU' And Merry Christmas in advance, don't eat the turkey alone send some down here to South Africa😉

Your explanation of "graded region" saved me so much time! thank you!

So glad I watched this during my slow installation of Windows 11. You are fun to watch and very great att explaining things, thanks!

[@miketaylor-fantastic]

Lol… sometimes those installations take forever! Have a great day!

Very useful, I used it combined with "Pads", complicated at first, but it worked perfectly. Thank you very much from Las Pampas friend!

[@wrighthausracing9641]

That was a great approach to feathering dirt around

[@Ahlotski]

Very nice and clear explanation for cut and fill, Thanks

[@wrighthausracing9641]

My man! Thank you sir. Curve ball.... fill around the foundation and footing for precise cut and fill. We often have steep site's in Tahoe so floors and foundations step with deep cuts. Thank you for your time and amazing video's God bless you!

[@miketaylor-fantastic]

I’m thinking about a ‘stepped footing’ video. :)

[@miketaylor-fantastic]

And God Bless You too!!! May He bless you and your business so much that you don’t know what to do with all the money. :)

you the man Mike!

thank u so much for sharing Cut / Fill. Hope can make each schedule cut / fill? ie road, drain and building

[@123rockstar2010]

Thank you so much Sir! I need to do this more for my projects!😀👍🔥

[@miketaylor-fantastic]

I know! Right?! Unless your site is totally flat you should try using real topography… wait, if it’s flat.. it would be even easier!!! :)

Nice and thanks Mike. I used the building pad and schedule the cut/fill for a huge project.When with a single pad, it works perfectly; but when I added another 1 or 2 pads, as different level slightly within the site, it didn't work for the schedule, the amount of net cubic cut wasn't right. Do you know why? Could you make a video on the topo with 2 or 3 building pads scheduling please? You videos are so awsome!

[@nikkylou]

Thanks!😊

[@jamesmccann7520]

Could you do a video on how to correctly relocate the house to the site survey, location, and elevation? 🙏 BTW that was the best explanation for cut fill 👌 I have watches so far.
