Since day one Revit has been a bit difficult showing representable grade lines in elevations. They never really show like a standard elevation should show. Odds are you need to hide topograpfy and draft a line to represent grade nicely. Then a step even further is drafting a filled region of an earth pattern under that drafted grade line as shown in the picture below. What I am getting at is I am wondering how eveyone else tackles this situation. My first though after this thread is a detail component of the grade line and pattern, so you dont have to draft it over and over just paste it around and adjust its sizes. Here are some threads I found with very similar topics. http://www.revitcity.com/forums.php?action=viewthread&thread_id=3079 http://www.revitcity.com/forums.php?action=viewthread&thread_id=4820

prop, I let my modeled site do my work in elevation and section view. I cut my pad to the building exterior wall line so a hard edge shows where site meets the building. The Earth fill is set in the site settings. See attached images.

I agree with you and have done that too, and I want to keep a revit state of mind and let the modeled topography do the work for me but it dosent allways work out cleanly. When you have abnormal grade conditions like a sloped site and the grade dosent represent what its doing at the building but what its doing where the elevation is as seen with the attached image.

I've had that problem. On some occasions, I can just pull my elevation line up very close to the building and that works. In strange shaped buildings, I have also used split elevations (two) one for each half and placed side by side on the sheet. << Not a neat work around. And then I have also use what you have done except ... I turn off the site and my earth fill does everything. One edge (top) is a heavy line and the reamaining are all invisible. No grade line required....
