What is the purpose of using site components in Revit?

Using site components in Revit serves the specific purpose of representing outdoor elements and context that interact with a building project. These components can include trees, bushes, topography, sidewalks, and other landscaping elements that help establish the setting for the building design. By incorporating site components, users can create a more comprehensive and realistic depiction of the overall environment in which the building exists.

Additionally, site components are essential for understanding how a structure fits within its geographical location, including considerations for views, accessibility, and environmental impact. This integration of context enriches the design process and informs decisions about architecture, planning, and landscaping.
