Published in Revit Topography 2 mins read

To change contour intervals and display settings in Revit for a Toposolid, use the "Contour Display" tool. Specifically, select the Toposolid element, access its properties, and then use the "Contour Display" tool to modify the interval lines and their appearance.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

  1. Select the Toposolid: Click on the Toposolid in your Revit model that you want to modify.

  2. Access Element Properties: Navigate to the element properties of the Toposolid. This might be in the properties panel on the left side of your Revit interface.

  3. Locate "Contour Display": Within the element properties, find and select the "Contour Display" option or a similar setting that controls the contour lines.

  4. Modify Contour Intervals: In the "Contour Display" settings, you can change the interval between contour lines. For instance, you can set the interval to display contour lines at every specific unit of elevation.

  5. Adjust Contour Appearance: Some contour display settings allow you to adjust the appearance of contour lines, such as their color, line weight, and style.

  6. Apply Changes: Once you have adjusted the desired settings, click "OK" or "Apply" to implement the changes to the selected Toposolid.

By following these steps, you can customize the contour lines on your Toposolid to meet your specific needs for visualization and documentation in Revit.
