I'm building a terrain imported from AutoCAD and Revit. I followed all the right steps with regard to the import dwg file to rvt file and pursue the auto play, adding then the extra points to level curves.

When i finish editing and still in the sketch, the land in Revit is, surely, designed with accuracy in relation to AutoCad: all points associated with the contour and outside the contour, with its altimeter according to source file.

However, as the final result was also denote differences in AutoCad for the following:

1)
- Although the points are designing the exact contours of the final reproduction of the land does not match the AutoCad because Revit is not doing the proper contour of the curve;

2)
- Although there are extra points marking the contours, Revit does not seem to play well coincident with AutoCad, so occasionally it involves / associate the point on the contour nearest;

3)
- Revit appears to still make a strange marriage between points of equal altimeter but located in different contours or not - this creates a strange representation of the topography.

Can anyone find solutions to resolve the topography more accurately compared to AutoCad, what i mean is, in relation to the original survey?

I appreciate the comments. Thank you.
