This Is Woderful. I knew about cad mapper before but your tips on the graphical representation of the context takes it to another level. Thank you and I will be eagerly waiting for more of your videos in the next year. (I am an BIM Architect From Ethiopia)

[@atxarchitech]

Thanks for the comment! It’s really encouraging me to keep it going. I have hundreds of these little tricks I’ve learned over the years. A lot more coming!

Epic thank you so much 🎉

[@1insp3ru16]

wow this is absolutely fantastic, i did not know you could do this in Revit, mean i knew about cad mapper however i did not know you could modify the style before hand then once you bring the file in it automatically applies it for you, this is amazing thanks a lot, maybe show us how to do the dashboard you did at the end please?

I’ll be uploading a lot this next year. Thanks for the comment! Lots of new stuff coming

not all building return manipulative.. why ?

[@qasammukri6122]

Super Idea thanks 👍

[@MArchSav]

Have you tried using Autodesk Forma? I thought it was also pretty easy way to add context to Revit model, and also make some changes in it. If you did, maybe could show some comparison?

[@atxarchitech]

I will look into this thank you!

[@patota1967]

Thanks, it's great. Once imported using your explanation, how can we generate a Revit topography out of it? I've gone to "Massing & Site/ Toposurface / Create from Import" and get this message: "There are no imported elements in your document. Please use the import tool to import the desired objects and then add them to the site"

[@atxarchitech]

My video today will show you the quickest way to do this. Coming soon!

[@albertomarcelloni4070]

Amazing thanks, although my create file tab in cadmapper is greyed out and it wont allow me to create a map, any advice?

[@atxarchitech]

@@albertomarcelloni4070 zoom in, you may be too far zoomed out. It wants you to pay if you want to capture too large of an area.

[@albertomarcelloni4070]

@@atxarchitech ive zoomed in as much as i can and still nothing, i tried different countries and main cities in the US but i get the same result.

I can't get mesh model in revit as import cad with dxf file

[@dianamichellecanoperez5421]

Same

[@hu5tle-]

question. 1. How do you label your topolines with that map? Doesn't see it as topo.

[@atxarchitech]

See my video I uploaded after this one, in that one I show you a way to create revit topo using the lines from cadmapper. Once you create the revit topo you should be able to label the topo lines like normal

[@hu5tle-]

@@atxarchitech will do. thanks!

[@michel-1-0]

well. but i don't know how to create a new map in Cameroun may be it's internet that's slow ahaha. Thx for this

[@zamreblora5604]

Hi! How can i generate the shadows like that in buildings

[@MusesStudio1]

I just want to point out to you. You should never never import CAD files directly to Revit. You should use “link” model like as Xref.

[@atxarchitech]

Very true

[@tsaul8078]

Hi there, love the video! How did you get the roads and pathways to be a solid colour/material? When I make changes to Object Styles/Imported Families, only the lines change colour.

[@atxarchitech]

There is a category for “material” in the object styles. You add a material to that object layer that has a color that matches the line color

[@PelViv]

@@atxarchitech I'm having the same issue, Im in object styles > imported objects following the family like the video described and its not a solid color
