PRESENTER: We are now ready to share our surface
00:04
with our Revit model.
00:06
We will navigate over to our output tab in Civil 3D
00:10
and select Publish Surface.
00:14
We want to select the existing ground surface,
00:16
and we want to ensure that our surface is going
00:19
to be correct BIM 360 hub.
00:22
You can see that we've created the Architecture
00:25
folder underneath our project files in BIM 360,
00:29
and that's where we're going to choose to save our surface.
00:32
Select OK, and publish the surface with the updated style.
00:41
OK, now that the surface has been published to the BIM 360
00:45
environment, we're going to navigate back over to Revit.
00:51
And we can continue with the previous Revit model
00:54
that we were working in, or you can start the pedestrian bridge
00:58
model provided with your dataset.
01:05
And with the pedestrian bridge open,
01:07
we will navigate to the Insert tab on our ribbon in Revit
01:11
and select link topography.
01:16
If we are not connected to the correct BIM 360 hub,
01:19
you will be given the option to make that modification
01:22
once the dialog box is open.
01:29
As you can see here, we are in the learning content
01:32
BIM 360 hub where we published our surface.
01:35
Now, we will select that surface to be linked into Revit.
01:46
And you can see our surface came in.
01:48
Let's go ahead and correct our visual style,
01:50
so we can make sure that we're looking
01:52
at it in the correct way.
01:54
Pardon me, Wireframe.
01:56
And now you can see our surface contour lines have
01:59
come in to our model, and again, they
02:01
are lining up with our road the way we would expect them to.
02:05
You can come over and look at our 3D model of this area.
02:09
And again, we'll want to change back to our Wireframe
02:12
to see the information in three dimensions,
02:14
and the surface is correctly lining up
02:17
inside our Revit model.
02:21
Thank you.
