With the advent of Toposolids, one of the first big questions that I have been working hard to fully understand and anticipate is what exactly happens if you have an ongoing project that you want to upgrade to Revit 2024?
I will say the answer will vary a bit depending on what sort of elements you typically use to model a site/landscape. But let’s dive in and take a look…

Revit 2024 has just been released, and with it a long list of new features. I am excited to see that there is finally a new site and landscape feature among the improvements.
So I am back to dust off the blog and to fill you all in on this new Revit element: Toposolid.
Continue readingI am excited to announce that there are some new nodes in the latest Landform update. These nodes are written in C#, and if you are interested in taking a look at the source code, I also now have a repository for Landform on GitHub. Shout out to John, over at sixtysecondrevit and creator of Rhythm and Monocle, for getting me going on these.
Most of these new nodes are focused on editing Topography, which is something that I have always wanted to do in Dynamo.
Here are the six new Topo nodes:

The third and final article about BIM and Revit in landscape architecture is now up on World Landscape Architecture:

As a landscape architect, I am sometimes asked by architects ‘Why do you use Revit?’ And the answer is quite simple: for all of the same reasons that architects and building engineers do. This may seem obvious to anyone familiar with the program and its capabilities, but to the uninitiated this explanation is not sufficient.
So to more clearly explain the benefits of using Revit, I created this diagram which outlines seven main points as they relate to several larger, overarching concepts: information, automation, and collaboration. Most of these benefits overlap in various ways and can also be found in other BIM software, so it is worth noting that they are not necessarily unique to Revit.
