And as such, you have access to any material that is currently defined in the Materials Library. Well the first thing to clarify is that this is a standard Revit Material. But the real focus of this article is to explain how to modify this representation. So as you can see, we have some earth shown below the cut surface plane. If we create a Section View through the surface, Revit will make the ground condition appear more realistic by showing a Cut Material below the toposurface….ĭrawing a section line through the surface…. In reality, there would be material below the surface- normally earth (if you’re lucky!) Obviously this isn’t very realistic, as the surface is shown as an infinitely thin plane. If we look at this surface in a 3D View, we see it like so…. I’ll just use 4 points and keep them all at an Elevation of 0. Let’s demonstrate the topic through example:įirst of all I’ll create a very basic toposurface. Modifying (what Revit terms’) the Section Cut Material is very easy- it’s just a case of knowing where to find the setting in the first place! A common question for those new to Revit is “how do I change the way that the ground is shown beneath my toposurface?”
