Creating Topography in Revit Using an AutoCAD (.dwg) File containing LiDAR Contour Data

Do you need to create an accurate model of a proposed building or building retrofit in Revit for a presentation or proposal but are limited on time? Discover how to export LiDAR contour data from the Equator platform as an AutoCAD (.dwg) file, link it to a Revit model, and generate an accurate 3D terrain. Equator has an extensive collection of the latest LiDAR data available, so you can download your data and get started on your project immediately.
