Overview
The Engipedia Topo Shaper tool enables users to manipulate topography instances using model lines in Autodesk® Revit®. This tool adds additional topography points along selected model lines, allowing for precise topographical modifications. Line division can be based on either the number of points or the distance between points. If multiple topography instances exist, the tool will prompt the user to select only one.

If you have many coordinates in Excel spreadsheet or in other table format, it’s easy to use the power of Dynamo to get those coordinates into Revit®.
In our example, we will use x, y, z coordinates to create model lines within Revit® project.
There are two ways to approach this problem:
In Revit®, computation height is the distance above the room level where room perimeter is measured.
By default, computation height is 0 units above base level of room. To place rooms, they first must be enclosed with room bounding elements. Read More
Far clipping is parameter that we control when creating section, elevation or callout.
The far clip plane is defined with the Far Clip Offset parameter. Read More
If the project is set up as Revit worshared model then sometimes a user can forget to relinquish his/her worksets and leave the office. Such situations often cause unnecessary frustration. However, there is a simple way to relinquish worksets, even if the user is not available. Read More
Setting Revit project units may sound trivial, but there are couple of hidden gems that everyone should know about.
To run project units dialog, on Revit ribbon go to Manage > Project Units, or use keyboard shortcut UN (as United Nations) like everyone do. Read More
