TopographySurface
Class
Description:
Represents a TopographySurface element.
Represents a TopographySurface element.
Remarks:
TopographySurface and related classes have been replaced as of Revit 2024 with Toposolid and related classes. It is recommended that all newly created elements and modifications operate from the new Toposolid class. The TopographySurface element remains in the API for backwards compatibility and upgrade. A TopographySurface element in the Revit API represents:
TopographySurface and related classes have been replaced as of Revit 2024 with Toposolid and related classes. It is recommended that all newly created elements and modifications operate from the new Toposolid class. The TopographySurface element remains in the API for backwards compatibility and upgrade. A TopographySurface element in the Revit API represents:
- An actual topography surface which can have an arbitrary boundary and collection of points.
- A SiteSubRegion element bounded by a sketch.
- A topography surface created automatically by the introduction of a BuildingPad element.
