Description

This course provides a comprehensive BIM workflow for landscape architecture using Revit and Civil 3D, guiding learners through every stage of a landscape project. It begins with essential Revit fundamentals—covering parameters, families, templates, and project organization—then moves into structured project setup including coordinate systems, worksets, and sheet management.

A significant portion of the course focuses on modeling landscape elements. You'll learn to create hardscape features such as floors, curbs, seat walls, retaining walls, ramps, stairs & guardrails. Civil 3D integration is covered for grading surfaces and aligning topography within Revit. Planting design is addressed through both component-based and area-based methods using Toposolid, along with scheduling strategies for planting and site components.

You’ll also develop skills in creating and distributing custom families for site furniture, signage, parking elements, and lighting. Coordination tools such as interference checks are included, along with visibility management techniques like view templates, filters, annotations, legends, and site sections. Revision workflows and export options to CAD, PDF, and Navisworks support final documentation.

Each chapter includes quizzes to reinforce learning, and the course concludes with a final exam to validate your mastery. By the end, you’ll be equipped to manage landscape BIM projects with clarity, precision, and confidence across all phases of design and documentation.
