Bespoke design tools for landscape architects

Urbis partners with technology integrator Nexsys to enhance their BIM capabilities

Landscape architects and urban designers can play a more active role on BIM projects by adopting bespoke design technologies like Environment for Revit.

Environment is a toolset that offers solutions for all phases of a landscape design workflow, transforming Revit from a general platform into a-fit-for-purpose, immensely valuable tool for landscape professionals. Environment combines industry-standard core technology and bespoke industry-specific tools inside Revit’s interface, dramatically increasing design and collaboration efficiency.

The Urban Design and Landscape Architecture team at Urbis develops urban strategies and public realm designs that create destinations to live in and work, that inspire and reward. The team used

BIM software in the design of projects such as the Queens Wharf Integrated Resort Development and the South Bank Masterplan in Brisbane. Environment for Revit enabled Urbis to customize Revit for use in all phases of the landscape design workflow.

Powell says: “As an experienced Revit user myself, landscape architectural elements can be a little tricky to model in Autodesk Revit software. Environment for Revit has definitely taken away the tedious and painstaking landscape modelling tasks and made it easier to produce landscape models in [less] time using Autodesk Revit software.”

Nexsys provides support services to Urbis, including customized training and guidance regarding hardware and software solutions for landscape architecture design.
