Land Kit 1.1

Land Kit 1.1.0 is a huge release with some powerful new components and improvements.

First off, there are some great ways to take topography to the next level and the next level, and the next…

Topo Kit - Architectural Features

New and Improved Topo Kit Features:

Wall Tops Mod - Add an extension to the top of your wall, above the grade of your topography.

Areas as Slabs - Add thickness to your projected areas.

Areas as SubD - A new (and fast) option in Draw Areas as Surfaces, for the smoothest of surfaces

Areas as Hatches - Turn your topo areas into hatches with a click.

Flow Lines - This exciting new component runs a water flow analysis on your topo mesh and generates flow lines on your site.

Plant Kit - New Components

The new water and output components let you begin to analyze and visualize catchments zones and levels of wetness on your site. Additionally, there is a new custom value layer, analysis visualization component, and plant exportmethods to improve the bigger software picture.

Wetness Analysis - Use the Topo Kit flow lines to calculate relative wetness across your environment.

Catchments Analysis - Use the Topo Kit flow lines to demarcate catchment zones.

Value Layer Analysis - Add a custom layer of values to your Plant Kit environment.

Baking Plants as Blocks - Bake various plant species as blocks

DAE Exporter - Export blocks on layers as DAE files to improve your workflow between Rhino, AutoCAD, Lumion, SketchUp, and more.

Draw Layer Mesh - Rapidly visualize environmental layers with a tinted mesh and legend

Paving Kit Improvements

Paving Kit on Walls - Utilize all Paving Kit patterns on planar surfaces rotated in any direction, including on the face of a wall!

Paving Kit Projection Improvements - Speed and efficiency improvements for projecting pavers to 3D topography.

All together, these improvements will enable even faster workflows and take further advantage of integrated 3D/computational design processes.

We can’t wait for you to try it!
