If you have a survey drawing where the contours are drawn as polylines with the correct elevational properties then its very simple.
Just a matter of importing the survey plan at the correct scale as a model element. Then select topography-->use imported-->select the import dwg file and select the appropriate layer for the contours...
Then its done... If there are any odd points you can fix these individually by selecting the point and adjusting its height.
You can then remove unwanted sections of the topography by using the split surface tool in the site tools progressively... Remember you cannot split a surface into more than two pieces at once. Then simply delete the unwanted selectiong of the topography...

so...its this simple
i can go out and survey an empty lot
download the points on Land Desktop...create the contours from the shots
then just import it into REVIT?
of course...correct scale as model element
select appropriate layer and all that
i dont know anything about splitting surfaces and using most of the site tools
but with experimentation...it is that easy
anything else you think i should know?
thanks for the help!

Yes you can also bypcursethe the land desktop step and simply put the points straight into revit...
In a site plan, just insert points by setting the appropriate elevation and start entering all your spot levels...
Split surface is really a matter of drawing a boundary where you want to cut the site. The sketch doesn't have to be closed, just has to split the site into no more than 2 pieces...
you can then use subregions to define different materials to different parts of the site.

You mean just the points (with proper elevations info) straight to revit and revit can figure out the contour?!
never did that before with land desktop..Always thought we have to define the contour line in ACAD than only import to Revit... Thanks for the tips

HTH.You stated " Just a matter of importing the survey plan at the correct scale as a model element. Then select topography-->use imported-->select the import dwg file and select the appropriate layer for the contours..."
Is this the Toposurface command in Revit? If so when I import do I importing using the pulldown menu under FILE? When you say select the apporpriate layer, what do you mean. It appears that the contours and DWG come in in the IMPORT command as one block where one needs to put individual points on the contours ( Which is too laborous) so how can I get my ACAD dwg with my contours already preset at their respective elevations into revit where I can start to work the site??
Thanks

[Quote from above ]
Open your site plan then import your dwg file it will appear in your site plan as one block then click toposurface after which the design tab will show the option use imported click that icon then click your imported topo in your site plan revit then create a topo points based on your contour lines.

Spend 30 minutes with the Tutorial you can find inside Revit's Help Menu. It is well written and has illustrations for easier understanding. It will explain/illustrate both methods mentioned above.
