Modifying Floors with Ease
The LTM® plugin revolutionizes the way floors are modified in Revit. With functions like creating sub-elements by typing slope, matching sub-elements in different floors, adjusting sub-elements in selected areas, and setting sub-elements in real levels, landscape architects have unparalleled control over the terrain modeling process.

Creating Filled Regions
The ability to create filled regions attached to floors is a game-changer. With LTM®, landscape architects can effortlessly generate filled regions with the same shape as the floor, clone filled regions from other views while preserving their connection to the floor, and update filled regions automatically when the shape of the floor changes.

Efficient Calculations
LTM® simplifies the process of calculating cut/fill volumes between floors and toposurfaces. This feature enables landscape architects to accurately determine the amount of soil movement required for their projects, saving time and facilitating informed decision-making.

Seamless Toposurface Integration
Working with toposurfaces becomes seamless with LTM®. Importing model lines from DWG files, matching line style and elevation, creating contour lines, placing elevation texts, and even creating floors from toposurface information are just a few of the functionalities that make topography manipulation a breeze.
