I am having trouple with creating subregions on a toposurface. I created the toposurface from an imported cad format. On a certain section of the surface it does finish the subregions but on the other side it says " The Site Surface failed to triangulate." Please help if possible. Urgent. Thanks

make sure that all your lines have a correct Z value and not all over the place, also, make sure they are closed... sometime when data is missing it fails...

I've found that Revit is very good at generating topography from AutoCAD files, but very poor when you want to edit the surface in any way (especially for large sites). I got the same error frequently ( The Site Surface failed to triangulate.) If you have to show roads and pathways (subregions) in any 3D view I can't give you much help, sorry. But if all you want to do is show the roads and pathways in plan view on a large site model, I've resorted to importing DWGs and overlaying the information. Hope that helps.

Use the simplify surface tool before applying the subregions. This will remove excessive points and hopefully fix this problem. The resulting simplified surface is nearly exactly the same as the original in most cases just simpler...
