Is there a way to add thickness to a toposurface so that when it is cut in section it looks like thick poche? The sections are only cutting a plane of the surface and not showing me the 'mass' of the site itself.
Thanks.

In your site settings you can control the poche material, and its extent. This way in section revit will show a cut pattern to the set depth...

Hi
imagine you have a sloping site with 2 separate buildings forming an L shape.
The buildings are located at the lower section of the site. The levels of the buildings are also different. I have managed to show the plan regions on both floor plans, however when creating a section or looking at the elevations, is there anyway in showing the topography of the site as a dashed line? Instaed of a large mass? Just like creating a plan region, though in elevation?
Is it best to turn off the site in visibility and to create a componenet for the slope with the model lines command??
Thanks for any help
Will

I generally turn off the topography in elevation...
I'll then just draw filled region or detail lines in the view to represent the site by tracing the topo then turning it off. As you've mentioned the topo in elevation sometimes conceals what you need to see.
Alternatively you could duplicate the elevation, turn off everything except the topo, change the far clip plane to be the minimum distance and override the topography visibilty to be a dashed line in your view properties.
Then, on the sheet drag this view over the other one...
HTH.

great Mr spot, you come up trumps again!!
I used the filled region on the elevation view, traced the site levels and applied a solid fill to the filled region and turned off the topo layer,
Great help,
Thanks

Mr. Spot, you mention the thickness can be set in Site Settings - where might they be found?

Thanks, I found it by searching the online help. Autodesk made the settings button a bit too subtle in my book. Perhaps I'll remember to lookfor the little arrow in corner from now on.
