Naviate Site & Landscaping 2022

Introduction

Revit users looking to enhance their site design capabilities within the software are in for a treat with the Naviate Site & Landscaping 2022 plugin. This powerful add-in offers a multitude of features that streamline the process of creating topography, grading regions, performing cut and fill calculations, and much more. With Naviate Site & Landscaping, you can take your site design projects to the next level with ease and efficiency.

Exploring the Features

One of the standout features of Naviate Site & Landscaping is the Align Topo tool, which allows users to align topography to various hardscape features such as edges, faces, and model lines. Points can be created based on linear or radial incremental distances, making it easy to manipulate the topography to suit your design needs. This tool also works seamlessly with existing and future phasing, allowing for a more comprehensive site design workflow.

Another handy tool included in Naviate Site & Landscaping is the Cut & Fill feature, which automates the calculation of arisings from excavation. This tool makes it easy to cut out or fill areas of topography based on features like terrain or retaining walls. Users can also create slopes with specified angles and horizontal offsets from lines, enhancing the overall accuracy and precision of their site design projects.

The Pattern Editor tool in Naviate Site & Landscaping simplifies the process of editing patterns within Revit. Users can easily access and edit patterns, duplicate them, and apply them to chosen objects with instant feedback. This feature eliminates the need for complicated .pat files or objects from AutoCAD, saving users time and effort in the design process.

Enhancing Visualization and Presentation

Naviate Site & Landscaping also offers tools for enhancing the visualization and presentation of site designs. The Slope Markings tool allows users to create graphical slope foot markings in both plan and 3D views. With this tool, users can automatically generate slope markings by selecting top and bottom lines of slopes, adding a professional touch to their designs.

The Create Contours tool in Naviate Site & Landscaping enables users to add contour lines to the top surface of floors. While Revit has built-in functionality for displaying contour lines on topographies, this tool extends that capability to floors, allowing for more detailed and accurate representations of site designs. With the ability to specify increments and line types, users can easily mimic contour lines with precision.

Conclusion

Overall, Naviate Site & Landscaping 2022 is a game-changer for Revit users looking to streamline their site design workflows. With a wide range of features that enhance topography manipulation, grading regions, cut and fill calculations, pattern editing, slope markings, and contour creation, this plugin offers unparalleled functionality for site design projects. If you're looking to take your site design capabilities in Revit to the next level, Naviate Site & Landscaping is a must-have addition to your toolkit.
