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)

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!

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

this is absolutely amazing. tons to thanks.

I appreciate it thank you!

[@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!

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

[@dianamichellecanoperez5421]

Same

[@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!

[@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

[@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

[@zamreblora5604]

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

[@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!
