Naviate Site & Landscaping 2022

Introduction

Revit, Autodesk's industry-leading software for Building Information Modeling (BIM), has become an indispensable tool for architects, engineers, and designers worldwide. And with the Naviate Site & Landscaping 2022 plugin, taking your site design capabilities in Revit to the next level has never been easier.

Enhanced Topography Alignment

The Align Topo feature in Naviate Site & Landscaping allows you to align your topography with various hardscape features like Edges, Faces, Top and Bottom of elements, and Model Lines. You can create points based on desired linear or radial incremental distances, with the flexibility to work with both existing and future phasing. This feature not only streamlines your workflow but also enables accurate Cut and Fill calculations within Autodesk Revit.

Effortless Topo Manipulation

With the Place Point tool in Naviate Site & Landscaping, manipulating your topography becomes a breeze. This tool creates points on a Topo surface based on an element or line work, with heights of resulting points following the underlying topography. This flexibility allows for easy manipulation of points, providing greater control over your site design.

Efficient Cut & Fill Calculations

Cut & Fill calculations in Revit can be challenging, but not with Naviate Site & Landscaping. This powerful plugin allows you to automatically cut out or fill areas of topography based on features like terrain or retaining walls. You can create slopes with specified angles or permille and set horizontal offsets from a line. These features simplify the calculation of arisings from excavation, saving you valuable time and effort.

Seamless Pattern Editing

The Pattern Editor in Naviate Site & Landscaping revolutionizes how you edit patterns within Revit. Unlike the limited pattern editing options available in Revit for grids or single lines, the Pattern Editor provides easy access and editing capabilities. You can duplicate patterns and apply them to chosen objects with instant feedback, eliminating the need for complex .pat files or objects from AutoCAD.

Streamlined Floor Creation

Creating a floor from existing topography is made effortless with the Create From Topography tool in Naviate Site & Landscaping. This tool reads all topopoints and adds them as sub-element points to the new Floor, mimicking the shape of the Topography. You also have the option to set an offset for alignment, allowing for precise floor creation aligned with your site design.

Enhanced Slope Markings

With the Slope Markings tool, you can graphically present slope foot markings in both Plan and 3D views. This tool automatically generates slope markings by selecting the top and bottom lines of the slope. Whether you are performing Cut & Fill or Align Profile commands, slope markings can be created effortlessly. This feature adds a visual element to your site design, enhancing communication and understanding.

Convenient Contour Creation

While Revit has built-in functionality for displaying contour lines on topographies, it lacks the same capability for floors. Naviate Site & Landscaping fills this gap with its Create Contours tool. This tool allows you to easily add contour lines to the top surface of Floors. By placing Model lines using specified increments and line types, you can mimic the contour lines found on topographies. This feature provides a more comprehensive representation of your site design.

Conclusion

Naviate Site & Landscaping 2022 is a game-changer for site design within Autodesk Revit. Its powerful features, such as enhanced topography alignment, effortless topography manipulation, efficient cut and fill calculations, streamlined pattern editing, seamless floor creation, enhanced slope markings, and convenient contour creation, empower designers to create stunning site designs with precision and ease. If you want to take your site design capabilities in Revit to new heights, Naviate Site & Landscaping is the plugin to try.
