Unit 4 Lesson 4: Integrating Architectural and Site Design Civil 3D 2010 Student Workbook 1
Integrating Architectural and
Site DesignOverview
In this lesson, you learn how to combine building design data with civil engineering design
data. In some circumstances it is helpful to be able to visualize both the architectural and civil
engineering components of a project at the same time. Architectural data typically consists of
information above the ground, and includes buildings as well as all of the components within
buildings. Civil engineering data usually consists of information representing the ground
surface and below, and can include roads, site grading, and sewers.
Large site development projects often involve a public participation process, where the public
and other interest groups are given the opportunity to provide input on a proposed project. A
very effective means to portray the intent of a project is to use 3D visualization techniques.
When you combine architectural and site design data, you get an accurate representation of
the proposed works for both above ground and below ground construction. This is shown in
the following illustration:

Objectives
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
Describe the Autodesk Revit Architecture application. Explain how to incorporate a Revit building model with a Civil 3D site design model. View a model in 3D.
Exercises
The following exercise is provided in a step-by-step format in this lesson:
1. Insert a Revit ModelAbout Autodesk Revit Architecture
Autodesk Revit Architecture is a model-based architectural design software used to design
buildings, and takes into consideration building components such as foundations, structural
members, windows, doors, roofs, and all other building details.

Unit 4 Lesson 4: Integrating Architectural and Site Design Civil 3D 2010 Student Workbook 3
Architects use Autodesk Revit Architecture to generate building design options, final designs,
details, construction scheduling, quantity material takeoff, and design visualization. Revit
Architecture data files are in a completely different format from Civil 3D data files. You can
export data from Revit Architecture and import it to Civil 3D.
Import a Building Site
To insert a Revit Architecture building to a Civil 3D drawing, you use the Import Building Site
command. This command can be found on the ribbon, Insert tab, Import panel.
When you import a building site you need to:
Specify the file: a Revit building site is contained in a file with an adsk (*.adsk) extension. Specify a name for the Civil 3D building site. Specify the insertion coordinates (if necessary).

If the architect uses the same coordinate system as the civil engineer, then there is no need to
specify insertion coordinates.
The Civil 3D Building Site appears as an expandable tree in Prospector, and shows the building
components. These are shown in the following illustration:

Exercise 1: Insert a Revit
Model
In this exercise, you insert a Revit
architectural model containing a building
to your Civil 3D drawing.
For this exercise open
\M_InsertRevitModel_EX1.dwg.
1. On the ribbon, Insert tab, click theImport panel dropdown.
2. Click Import Building Site.
The Import Building Site wizard launches.
3. On the Import Building Site, Select Filepage, click the icon to browse to a file.
4. Browse to the location where your datasets are installed.
5. Click M_BuildingFromRevit.adsk. ClickOpen.
A preview of the Revit building model is
displayed. You can experiment with the
view in the preview window.
6. On the Import Building Site Select Filepage, for Building site name, enter
Housing Coop.7. Click Next.8. Review the settings on the Import
Building Site Confirm Units page. Click
Next.
9. On the Import Building Site DisplayProperties page, click Next.
10.On the Import Building Site, InsertionPoint page, review the insertion point
information.
The insertion point coordinates are correct
because the civil engineer designing the site
uses the same coordinate system as the
architect designing the building.
11.Click Finish to insert the building model.The building model is inserted to the
drawing. Civil 3D zooms to the insertion
location and displays the outline of the
building model.

Unit 4 Lesson 4: Integrating Architectural and Site Design Civil 3D 2010 Student Workbook 6
You now view the building model in 3D. A
named view has already been prepared for
you.
12.On the command line, enter V. PressENTER.
13.In the View Manager dialog box, on theleft side, click 3D1. Click Set Current.
Click OK.
The building model is displayed in a 3D
view, along with the grading, roads and
sewer data.
14.On the command line, enter shade.Press ENTER to shade the model.
The 3D model is shaded.A surface has been created that shows the
existing and proposed conditions combined.
You now turn on the display of the EG FG
Combo surface.
15.In Toolspace, Prospector tab, expandSurfaces.
Note: If Toolspace is not visible, on the
command line, enter showts. Press ENTER.
16.Right-click EG FG Combo. Click SurfaceProperties.
17.In the Surface Properties dialog box,Information tab, for Surface style, select
_Triangles.
18.Click OK.The EG FG Combo surface is displayed, and
shaded.
19.Experiment with other views and tovisualize the entire model. Notice the
roads, pipes, and grading objects.
Finally, review the data in Prospector.20.Click the Prospector tab.21.Expand Building Sites. Click Housing
Coop.
22.Notice the components of the buildingsite (Utility Connections, Roofs, Doors
and Floors).
23.In the Item View area, notice the dataassociated with the Building Site.
24.Close the drawing and do not save thechanges.

Questions
1. What is the Autodesk Software application used to create architectural and buildingdesigns?
2. What is the Import Building Site command used for?3. Why is it important to view architectural data in conjunction with civil engineering data?4. What is the Civil 3D object used to show architectural data?Answers
1. Revit Architecture2. The Import Building Site command is used to import an Autodesk Revit building model to
AutoCAD Civil 3D.
3. Many projects involve a participation process with special interest groups. This processmakes use of 3D models that show the project plans for both above and below ground
conditions. It is important to visualize how the building interacts with the civil engineering
aspects of the site.
