What's the quickest way to create an environment model in Revit? Exactly, by using Autodesk Forma<\/a> - Here, the environment model can be generated from free data sources with just a few clicks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is an example for Munich - the terrain, surrounding buildings and even trees are loaded within a few minutes: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, Forma also offers intuitive modeling tools and analysis options, more on this can be found on the Forma Blog<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, however, we only want to send the environment model to Revit - and this can be accomplished using the following option: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this is what the model looks like in Revit: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The site is imported as a native Toposolid<\/em> (optionally with the satellite image as material) and can be edited. The surrounding buildings are imported as a generic model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Revit project is also automatically georeferenced: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
