Saving Topography to GDL Objectġ., Launch ARCHICAD and open the model, select the mesh (topography) in 2D/3D, right click and choose Show Selection/Marquee in 3D to isolate it in a 3D view,Ģ., Select the mesh and choose File > Libraries and Objects > Save Selection as… > Object…,ģ., Click OK to choose the top view of the selected elements to be the floor plan view,Ħ., Click OK on the Object’s Basic Settings dialog box. Note: In addition, DWG shall be used to exchange the toposurface boundary.

Save the CSV file and import it to REVIT to create the toposurface.

Edit the CSV file with Excel to remove those data not part of the topography,.

Create a TXT file, copy and paste the points and save it as a CSV file,.

Open the object and identify the topography points in the 3D script,.

Open the ARCHICAD model and view the mesh (topography) in 3D,.

This article covers the solution on how to re-create an editable Toposurface in REVIT using the data exported from ARCHICAD. The Main Contractor requested for Toposurface which can be edited further in REVIT.

When the topography was transferred to REVIT via IFC that becomes as a Model In-Place element which can not be edited easily. The project has large topography as it was a infrastructure project and all of them were created using Mesh object in ARCHICAD.

So, there was a need for conversion of ARCHICAD model to REVIT model via IFC. The Main Contractor was using REVIT for their BIM process. Recently came accross a situation where the Design Architect need to exchange ARCHICAD model with their project partners.
