Revit Landscape Architecture

Revit for landscape architecture enables professionals to design and manage outdoor spaces using BIM workflows, integrating elements such as topography, planting, and hardscapes with building models. It helps landscape architects to visualise their designs, as well as plan and analyse sites, improving collaboration and coordination with project teams.

Developed by White Frog’s team of BIM software experts, this online course explains the fundamentals of the tool in the context of BIM, market best practices, and current standards.

Designed for new users of the software, this course takes you through a tour of Revit for landscape architecture, helping you become familiar with the software interface and navigate a project.

This online course covers the creation of a terrain model, plot preparation, site remodelling, and contextual massing. It also provides insights into 2D draughting and annotation, working with material libraries, as well as introducing you to the principles of family editing.

After completing this course, learners will be able to:

• Define building information modelling (BIM) and understand how it differs from computer-aided design (CAD)
• Describe the relevance and application of Revit within the BIM workflow
• Understand the benefits of less 3D geometry in driving efficiency
• Understand the application of materials, textures, patterns, colours, pen thicknesses and line-styles
• Be familiar with the creation of floors, roofs and ceilings
• Understand the shared attributes and common rules associated with the creation and modification of slabs
• Explore the collation, summation, sorting and grouping of data within a schedule
• Understand the use of detail components and repeat details
• Understand the workflow for creating stable, successful content
• Understand when and how to add meta data to an element
• Test an element at every stage of the development process
