Command
The Area Pad tool is available from the Terrain panel.
Purpose
The Area Pad tool enables Toposurfaces to be manipulated easily within Revit by creating new regions with the adjoining embankments cut or filled to a specified slope. The existing and modified topographies are compared to calculate quantities of cut and fill that can be displayed in a schedule. Users are able to place a Floor when running Create Area Pad, with options to move the topography to below the Floor, to leave it where it is or to delete the topography. Plan Elements enable the Cut and Fill regions to be displayed with identifiable hatch pattern and colour to aid construction of the modified topography on site.
Usage
The Area Pad tool is run after first creating Model line content.
