In the previous tutorial about modeling Toposurface, we learnt about
- Create a toposurface by points
- Create a toposurface with DWG import
- Create a subregion
- Split and Merge toposurfaces
- Create a graded region
- Label Contour Lines
- Site Settings
In this tutorial, we will talk about creating Building Pads and adding Site components (such as trees, bench, street lights, parking spaces, etc).

Building Pads
To flatten a piece of land on your site in order to position your building, use building pads. Building pads can only e created on a Toposurface. Revit will be able to automatically fill/cut the Toposurface in order to position the building pad on the specified elevation.
Step by Step Guide:
- Add a Building Pad
- Modify Building Pads
- Modify the Structure of a Building Pad
- Building Pad Type Properties
- Building Pad Instance Properties
