What

Designers know that an understanding of existing terrain conditions is a fundamental requirement for a successful project. However, the process of establishing the topography can involve complications and rework when parts of survey information aren’t available at the same time and in the same modality.

Who

Architects

How

Simplify collaboration and ensure that team members obtain correct data by transferring topography from Civil 3D to Revit using the BIM 360 platform.

  1. Build a surface with Civil 3D.
  2. Publish the surface by using BIM 360 and the Autodesk Desktop Connector.
  3. Add link topography with Revit.

The workflow is shown in this video.

Why

Here are some of the advantages to team members:

  1. Single source of information
  2. Unnecessary to exchange email to send files
  3. Unnecessary to exchange email about changes
  4. Real-time updates
  5. Shared information among everyone on the design team.

What next?

Extend collaboration for document management and collaborative design with BIM 360.
