I have built 3D topo contours inside of autocad and have placed them into my revit model.  I have checked and double checked making sure all the contours are closed.  My problem is that the contours are not reacting around the retaining walls like they should.  As you can see in the attached.  The near side  (low grade) should be even all the way around the bottom of the wall.  The far side (high grade) is about the same but tapers down to low grade out at the ends.  As you can see the grade is trying to connect from high to low in a gradual slope.  It is not even following the 'z' coordinate lines that I have in the model at these points.  Any help in resolving this would be greatly appreciated.

Edit your topo in Revit, not CAD and add elevation points along your wall on each side of the wall.
