Using floors for planting beds and topography.We have a few unique solutions that aren’t just for LA, but can be used for many different applications: Need a good way to show specific elevations for grading.Larger sites (acres and miles, not just single buildings).There are a few unique challenges for using Revit for LA: I feel very well equipped to apply this thinking toward using Revit for LA.

As I’ve said before, all of my Revit experience in practice was with existing (often historic) buildings, which required me very early on to push the envelope with Revit. Those who really enjoy Revit, love a good challenge and the opportunity to think outside the box to push the software and use the tools in new and innovative ways. I can only imagine that this is the beginning and we will see more and more LA firms wanting to move over from 2D to 3D.

I was also contacted by an old friend who is a Landscape Architect who wanted to know more about how they could make the move to Revit. I recently started working with a new client – a local Alexandria landscape architecture firm – which got me thinking about how we can better format Revit for Landscape Architecture (LA).
