Technology provides a platform which allows the landscape architects to shift from creating 2D drawing of landscape to creating and coordinating data within a digital model of landscape. BIM gives way to a more coordinated construction and delivery process. Choose BIM to improve coordination, 3D rendering and create Revit Families.

3. WHAT IS BIM IN
LANDSCAPE DESIGN?
Building information modeling is
used to streamline architectural
project administration and design.
However, it hasn't yet been widely
applied in the field of landscape
design. Yet, a fresh trend has started.
BIM has started to take off, as
landscape professionals recognize its
value as a tool for their industry.

BENEFITS AT A GLANCE

5. COLLABORATION
Landscape architects can collaborate with
civil engineers, architects, designers, and
other professionals. Thanks to the benefit
of increased departmental communication
provided by BIM as a whole. The
opportunity for each person to participate
without constraining the other
participants enables an open workflow.
Using BIM landscape architecture, it is also
possible to simply convert 3D models into
precise 2D drawings for the site's staff,
ensuring that the project's final d.esign is
executed exactly as intended.

6. INFORMATION RICH
BIM MODEL
BIM models are jam-packed with data on many
object attributes required for future simulation
success. A BIM model of a tree would include the
scientific name, root sizes, environmental factors,
and other information. Additionally, details about
how the object should be handled in real life
could be added, such as the need for water and
sunlight, spread, mature height, and more. Revit
for landscape architects can make judgments
more easily when they have access to a wealth of
information, and information-rich models make it
simpler to complete cost and material
estimations.

7. Revit family
Well, Revit families are particular elements that can be included in a 3D model and have a
graphical representation thanks to a shared set of properties. Using the characteristics
required for the project, landscape architects can either build their models from the start or
use the pre-existing Revit families from the Revit libraries. Overall, Revit families may
drastically cut the number of reworks and enforce some uniformity, which drastically
shortens the project's completion time. Additionally, if models and families were generated
for one project and saved in a library, they might be used later in other projects.

8. 3D RENDERING
Starting from an aesthetic standpoint, 3D
rendering is very significant, and this also
applies to landscape renders. It is simpler to
determine through rendering whether the
project would work effectively in the current
setting. By including lighting sources, colors,
and other elements, it's also possible to make
the renders themselves appear more realistic.
3D models can be used for marketing, getting
funding, and a variety of other things, including
BIM landscape architecture.

11. HOW CAN DESIGNERS USE BEST
BIM SOFTWARE FOR
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE?

12. Revit is currently the most widely used BIM
program among landscape architects. It is simple to
manage the geometric look of objects in Revit's
multiple views because Revit enables landscape
professionals to group elements by shared
parameters. The Dynamo extension, which provides
geometry placement, Excel data extraction, task
automation, and calculation processing, can
significantly enhance Revit's capabilities for
landscape design.

13. The Landmark Program from Vectorworks is
available; it was created primarily for
workflows in landscape and site design. To
speed up model production, it comes with a
built-in database of plants, terrain models,
and other landscape components. Some of
the landscape-specific capabilities of
Landmark include slope analysis, sun/shade
analysis, irrigation, stormwater drainage,
arborist survey imports, and site
Photogrammetry. IFC, RVT, and other format
exchanges are supported by the application,
which makes collaboration easier.
VECTORWORKS

14. Another extensively used program is ArchiCAD, which is
well-liked for both its functionality and its ability to
work with other BIM programmes. Through its
Teamwork system and several supported file types, it
promotes simple collaboration. Large undertakings are
especially well-suited to being made more manageable
by the program. The most recent version of ArchiCAD
has a parametric design tool that makes it simple to
create custom objects and fill the library with one-of-a-
kind landscape components. There are also specialized
ArchiCAD add-ons available. For instance, Land4
enhances the capabilities of terrain modeling with
dynamic spot levels, fall lines, and other features.
ARCHICAD

15. Rhino is a 3D modeling program that makes
it simple to create free-form sculptures,
making it especially helpful for creating
organic landscapes and all of their parts.
Numerous additional landscaping tools for
landscape sculpting, parametric design and
both natural and man-made components are
introduced with the Lands Design plug-in. It
contains a vast library of only vegetation,
and its speedy generation of 2D technical
drawings facilitates quick documentation.

16. FINAL THOUGHT-
TO ADOPT OR NOT
TO USE BIM!
If you don't use BIM in your
construction work process, your
competitors would use it, and you will
be out of the game. To implement BIM
in landscape architectural design or
Revit for landscape architecture,
consult Tejjy Inc. – one of the proficient
BIM companies in USA at 202-465-4830,
