About this app
Introduction
Revit, the popular Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, has revolutionized the way architects and engineers design and collaborate on building projects. However, when it comes to site and landscaping, Revit's capabilities are somewhat limited. This is where the Naviate Site & Landscaping 2024 plugin comes in, offering a range of powerful features to enhance the site design process within Revit.

Align Topo - Seamless Integration with Hardscape Features
The Align Topo feature is a game-changer for those working with topography and hardscape elements. Whether it's aligning to edges, faces, top or bottom of elements, or model lines, this plugin allows you to easily manipulate topography in a way that was previously difficult or time-consuming in Revit.
What sets Align Topo apart is its ability to work with existing and future phasing, ensuring that your topography remains accurate and up-to-date throughout the design process. Plus, the graded region tool enables cut and fill calculations, providing valuable insights for earthwork planning.

Place Point - Streamlining Topo Surface Manipulation
The Place Point feature in Naviate Site & Landscaping 2024 simplifies the process of creating points on a topography surface based on other elements or linework. Unlike Revit's native functionality, which aligns points to the height of the chosen object, Place Point ensures that the heights of resulting points follow the underlying topography. This flexibility allows for easy manipulation and precise control over the placement of points, giving designers greater freedom and accuracy.

Cut & Fill - Effortless Excavation Calculations
Cut & Fill calculations are vital for excavation planning, but Revit lacks a built-in feature for this task. Naviate Site & Landscaping solves this problem by automatically cutting out fill areas of topography based on features like terrain or retaining walls. With the ability to create slopes with specified angles or permille, as well as horizontal offsets from a line, this feature empowers designers to accurately model and calculate earthwork quantities within Revit.

Pattern Editor - Simplifying Pattern Editing
Revit's built-in pattern editing capabilities are limited to grids or single lines, often requiring complex .pat files or objects from AutoCAD for advanced editing. The Pattern Editor feature in Naviate Site & Landscaping eliminates this hassle, providing an intuitive interface for accessing and editing patterns directly within Revit.
The ability to duplicate and apply patterns to chosen objects with instant feedback streamlines the design process, saving precious time and effort. With Pattern Editor, you can unleash your creativity and achieve stunning visual effects in your site and landscape designs.

Create From Topography - Efficient Floor Creation
One of the time-consuming tasks in Revit is creating a floor that mimics the shape of existing topography. Create From Topography feature in Naviate Site & Landscaping automates this process, generating a floor that precisely follows the contours of the topography.
With the option to set an offset for alignment, designers can easily adjust the floor's position and achieve the desired aesthetic and functional results. This feature saves valuable time and ensures accuracy in creating floors that harmonize with the surrounding site conditions.

Slope Markings and Create Contours - Enhancing Visualization
Accurately representing slope foot markings and contour lines is essential for clear communication and effective visualization of site designs. Naviate Site & Landscaping offers two valuable tools for achieving this: Slope Markings and Create Contours.
The Slope Markings tool enables you to automatically create slope markings by selecting the top and bottom lines of the slope. It also provides the option to generate slope markings during Cut & Fill or Align Profile commands, further streamlining the design process.
Meanwhile, the Create Contours tool adds contour lines to the top surface of floors, a functionality lacking in Revit's native tools. With specified increments and line types, designers can easily mimic the contour lines found on topographies. This addition enhances the visual representation of your designs, providing a comprehensive and professional look.
