External Civil Data
Insert and manage information models created by a road engineer in Civil 3D or other programs and exported to a LandXML format.
Naviate Environment
Create landscape and site design directly in Revit with detailed workflows tailored for your needs as a landscape architect.
Design typographies and retaining walls
Environment makes it easy to design things like topography and retaining walls, plan out planting and outdoor features. It’s packed with powerful tools and smart automation that all work seamlessly right inside Revit.

Landscape Architecture and BIM
BIM is a digital design prosess that use 3D models to include information about materials, quantities, properties, and more. It allows you to collaborate in real-time with other disciplines such as architecture and construction. BIM can be useful after the design phase, supporting coordination of construction and maintainance. You as a Landscape Architect, Site Designer or Surveyor can use BIM for a more seamless process with other disciplines, and a more accurate and data-driven design.

Functionalities
Key functionalities in Environment
Planting Family
Manage all Planting Families in your project from a single interface, or easily create new Planting Families from scratch.
Scan to Model
Automatically create an editable topography (Toposurface or Toposolid) from a selected Point Cloud file and use it as reference to place levels.
Shape by Typography
Draping slab’s sub-elements in alignment with a selected topography.
Modify Typography
Smoothly reshape and sculpt any existing topography (i.e., Toposolid or Toposurface) in your model, with the “modify Topography’ collection of tools. Using these tools, you can control the surface as if it was a mesh, inflate or deflate it, or simply smooth the surface or selected areas on it.
Edit Wall in Place
Freeform editing of the top or bottom face of walls.
Assembly Content Settings
Add and set the preferences for the Assembly Content Parameter (a parameter automatically created for assemblies made by Environment) and the content for the the assembly tag.
Planting Region
Automatically create Filled Regions to cover and represent Planting elements or Planting Assemblies on any Floor Plan View in your project.
