The objective of the Autodesk® Revit® 2024: Site Planning and Design guide is to enable users who have worked with the Autodesk Revit software to understand concepts and tools related to site planning and design. This guide covers the Revit coordinate system, which is used to coordinate multiple files in a single project, as well as the elements and tools that are used to create toposolids for site work.
Topics Covered:
Site Planning
- Understanding the Revit coordinate system, positioning, true north, and project north.
- Linking files.
- Relocating the project elevation.
- Working with shared coordinates by acquiring and publishing coordinates.
- Exporting Revit models to .DWG.
Site Design
- Creating toposolids.
- Adding property lines.
- Modifying toposolid by creating sub-divides, splitting surfaces, and grading.
- Annotating site plans and adding site components.
Prerequisites:
- Access to the 2024.1 version of the software, to ensure compatibility with this guide.
