Whether you're an architect, engineer, or landscape designer, Naviate Site & Landscaping 2023 is a must-have tool that will enhance your workflow and unleash your creativity.

Align Topo: Seamlessly Integrate Hardscape Features

The Align Topo feature in Naviate Site & Landscaping 2023 allows you to align your topography with other hardscape elements such as edges, faces, top and bottom of elements, and model lines. With the ability to create points according to desired linear or radial incremental distances, this tool opens up endless possibilities for precise site manipulations. What's more, the Topo Surfaces feature seamlessly integrates with existing and future phasing, enabling accurate cut and fill calculations directly within Revit.

Place Point: Unleash the Power of Topography

With Naviate Site & Landscaping 2023, placing points on a Topo surface becomes a breeze. The Place Point tool creates points that follow the underlying topography, allowing for easy manipulation and customization. Say goodbye to the limitations of aligning points to the height of chosen objects – now, the topography takes center stage, empowering you to create designs that truly harmonize with the natural features of the site.

Cut & Fill: Simplifying Excavation Arisings Calculations

Revit has historically presented challenges when it comes to cut and fill calculations for excavation arisings. But fear not, as Naviate Site & Landscaping 2023 comes to the rescue. The Cut & Fill feature automates the process of cutting out or filling areas of topography based on features like terrain or retaining walls. Creating slopes with specified angles or permille and horizontal offsets from a line becomes a breeze, allowing you to effortlessly model even the most complex terrains.

Pattern Editor: Effortless Pattern Customization

Gone are the days of struggling with complicated .pat files or relying on AutoCAD objects for pattern editing in Revit. Naviate Site & Landscaping 2023 introduces the Pattern Editor, which allows you to access and edit patterns with ease. Duplicate and apply patterns to chosen objects in a snap, all while enjoying instant feedback. With this powerful tool, grid and line-based patterns are no longer the limit – let your creativity soar!

Create From Topography: Floors That Mimic the Shape of Your Site

Creating floors that perfectly mimic the shape of your topography has never been easier. Naviate Site & Landscaping 2023 introduces the Create From Topography tool, which reads all topopoints and adds them as sub-element points to the new Floor. You have the flexibility to set an offset for alignment, ensuring a seamless integration between your design and the natural contours of the site. Say goodbye to time-consuming manual adjustments – let Create From Topography do the work for you.

Slope Markings: Enhancing Graphical Presentations

Visualizing slope foot markings in plan or 3D views has always been a challenge in Revit – until now. The Slope Markings tool in Naviate Site & Landscaping 2023 automates the process of creating slope markings by selecting top and bottom lines of slopes. This tool is not limited to manual operations; it can also be automatically triggered when performing Cut & Fill or Align Profile commands. With Slope Markings, you can transform your designs into visually stunning representations of the dynamic landscape.

Create Contours: Elevate Your Floor Designs

While Revit offers built-in functionality for displaying contour lines on topographies, the same cannot be said for floors. Naviate Site & Landscaping 2023 changes that with its Create Contours tool. By adding contour lines to the top surface of floors, you can easily mimic the appearance of topography lines. Specify the increment and line type, and let the tool place model lines for you. Elevate your floor designs and create stunning visual representations of undulating terrains with ease.
