With new Revit 2024 the terrain is represented as solid element, for this reason, we suggest using the following approach if you do not have the latest Revit 2024 version.
You can find below the explanation of the ten step to print your 3D Terrain directly from Revit 2022, without using different software, for which you will probably have to pay. With it, we create visual scripts that automate repetitive tasks and facilitate custom workflow. To transform Revit's surface into a solid mass, we use Dynamo, a visual programming language that enables us to automate and enhance Revit's functionality. Revit 2022 represents terrain as a surface rather than a mass, making it unsuitable for 3D printing. Dynamo is our primary tool for extracting data from the Revit model, which allows us to produce intricate geometry for our site model that cannot be accomplished using Revit's existing tools. In this article, we outline the step-by-step process we follow to generate a 3D print model of our project site using Revit 2022 and Dynamo (Revit's programming language). We believe software should support our work and enable it, not constrain it.
At Edward Williams Architects we like to innovate and discover novel solutions for resolving software and architectural issues.
