Export LandXML Into Revit

A Ground file can export to Revit by a LandXML file. Then, by utilizing the Site Designer plugin you can import the LandXML into Revit. The Site designer plugin can be found and installed through the Autodesk ID account. Under Revit, Updates & Add-on’s, search “Site Designer”.
