  LANDCADD for Revit | AutoCAD Application Transitions to Revit

  Construction, Downloads, Principals-Owners-Managers, Revit Applications-Extensions, Revit-BIM Playbook 1 Comment

  One of the first 3rd-party applications for AutoCAD & landscape architects, has a Revit version; LANDCADD™ for Revit®.

  

  is designed to offer Architects, Landscape Architects or Designers functionality within Autodesk Revit Architecture to produce a landscape design fully integrated into the project.

  • By accessing a wide-range of searchable plants, you can customize planting families and then use the LANDCADD tools to locate trees, shrubs, flowers or ground covers into the model.
  • Layout other landscaping features, such as paths or patios and, not only obtain areas, but also a takeoff of the materials.
  • Download LANDCADD for Revit feature page (PDF).

  

  Site Tools for Revit: Coming Soon!

  Site Tools for Revit provides functionality within Revit Architecture; that allows you to shape the terrain, enabling the accurate placement of Revit components onto the proposed site model.

  Upon saving your changes, the Revit model will be updated with a new toposurface definition and generic model components representing linear and area components.

  • Terrain shaping tools that include toposurface creation.
  • Add components such as roads, driveways, curb and gutter, sidewalks, paths, retaining walls, pads, etc.
  • Visualize the terrain in a 3-D walk-through viewer
  • Import/Export LandXML files from/to engineering applications like AutoCAD Civil 3D for design collaboration.

  Visit the LANDCADD for Revit web page to review or register for March “LANDCADD for Revit” Webinars & Introductory Pricing.

  • Download your LANDCADD evaluation copy for testing.

  Revit 3rd-party applications and extensions continue to expand the Revit platform, with niche features for specific disciplines and markets.
