Grading a Drainage Ditch to Existing Surface | Revit® Workflow for Landscape Architects
In this tutorial, you will learn how to design a new drainage channel over an existing trench in Revit. It might sound like a challenging task, but in this video we'll do it in a few minutes. You will see how with the Environment for Revit® tools it becomes much easier and with a more accurate result, allowing you to calculate the cut-and-fill quantities as part of the BIM design process.
We will cover the steps involved in creating a new channel and grading it to the existing surface, ensuring a consistent slope and slanted banks that connect seamlessly to the existing topography.
