In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to extract real-world topography data from Google Earth Pro and bring it into Revit as a toposurface. This method is quick, effective, and perfect for early-stage site modeling and visualization.
You’ll learn how to:
✅ Mark and export GPS data from Google Earth Pro
✅ Convert it using GPS Visualizer
✅ Import the data and create a toposurface in Revit
