Landscape and Site Tools for Revit

Incase you missed it, I recently wrote a Civil/LA-focused article for Revit users over at AECbytes, Revit 2022, with Civil 3D and Infraworks, for Civil and Site Design.

Since then, I have been informed about a few other related tools, for Revit, that I thought I would share in today's post.



keep reading to learn more...

Below is a list of landscape-focused Revit add-ins. The AECbytes article, linked above, covers FOREground in some detail. I am not too familiar with the other three, but wanted to share so others can review for themselves if this is a workflow they need to improve within Revit.

I am familiar with Land F/X for AutoCAD as we implemented this at my previous firm, in their LA studio. Again, I do not know anything about their Revit implementation, but the AutoCAD tool is very mature for LA workflows.

Our mission is to make the Revit® workflow for landscape architects convenient and efficient. To achieve this, we created a powerful set of tools that turns Revit® into the best software on the market for landscape and site design. 
Launched in 2015, CS ArtisanRV enables the landscape professional to fully embrace Building Information Modelling, offering specialist BIM for landscape tools to collaborate with the industry leading Revit® solution.

The FOREground application is a complete toolset designed to assist with site and landscape modeling and documentation. See the AECbytes link about for more on this tool. 

Naviate Site & Landscaping
Accelerate project documentation and optimise working methods with built-in standards for Landscape Architects engineers to enhance your BIM workflow.

Satisfy your BIM requirements with our new Land F/X Revit Plugin! The plugin is currently in limited beta and is available for existing Land F/X users only.

On a related note, watch for my updated post on AutoTurn for Revit soon.


If I come across others, I will add them to this list...
