Import Topo from CAD
Built a Revit tool that reads contour lines or point data from a linked CAD drawing and generates a Revit toposolid from the extracted geometry.
A CAD-to-toposolid conversion tool that removes the manual effort of recreating terrain from CAD contour data inside Revit.
This project was developed during my employment at Cracknell. Images and context are owned by Cracknell. Source code is proprietary and not available. Included here for portfolio purposes only.
Product Need
Recreating site topography from CAD contour drawings in Revit required tedious manual point placement that was slow and inconsistent.
Experience Built
Developed a tool that reads CAD contour geometry from a linked DWG and converts it directly into a Revit toposolid with the correct elevation data.
Portfolio Value
Reduced topography creation time significantly and produced more accurate terrain models aligned to the original CAD survey data.
Feature Highlights
Reads CAD contour lines from linked DWG
Extracts elevation data from CAD geometry
Generates Revit toposolid automatically
Maintains accuracy from original survey data
Removes manual point placement steps
