Does anyone know how to make a topo surface project deeper? I need it to cover the footings in elevation and section. I tried adding another to the bottom and it didn't merge correctly. The topo lines stop at -9' but I need the topo to fill to -20'. I'd rather not have to modify every section and elevation with a filled region. See the attached image for a look at the issue

Awesome! Thank you so much! I've been racking my brain trying to figure it out! And FYI for 2009, it's "Settings / Site Settings..."

it's harder to find in 2011 (I think). It is actually kind of hidden. Under the "Massing & Site" tab, click on the little arrow in the bottom right-hand corner of the "Model Site" section... took me a long time to find it, would be nice to have it labelled

Just to clarify this for future readers, I see that we all missed Warchitect's problem. If you look at the image Warchect provided, you will see that he has the poche base starting at 20'. There will be no poche if the elevation is above the site level which probably was 0'. If you want the poche to start below 0, then enter a negative number.

Please see attached file. I would like to have the earth cut down to the bottom of the foundation, which is 35'-0" below Level 1.
The way I did was to have two toposurfaces, one for the building which followed the building footprint; another for the rest of the site. Any suggestions? If I had a complicated basement layout with different depthes, that would have multiple toposurfaces.

Hi WWHuB,
Thanks! Please see attached file. First, how to change the Pad to not shaded in "Shaded", "Consistent Colors", or "Realistic" view?
Second, please help to to solve the colors for the earth, earth showed blue for the site, brown underneath the pad, they are in the same toposurface.
Thanks in advance!

Your settigs - not enough information.
Wos blue - interesting color
Is the brown your pad? Did you set its material?
A PAD only cuts a topo to the bottom of the PAD. What you show is not that so you have done something else.

Hi WWHub,
Please see attched Revit file, I purged all un-used to bring down the size of the file. This was only a very quick sketch to show you the problems I had.
If you changed the toposurface in Phasing, "Phase Created" from "New Construction to "Existing", then, the color changed from blue to red.
Hoping that you can help me on this. Thanks!
