In this webinar we looked at the problem of creating a swale on a sloping site. This is a detailed problem and it required us to look at site modifiers and site sections. The swale needed to create a scoop out at the front then take that soil and mound…
In this session we started a project that will take several sessions to complete. The project will eventually have several apartments in different files that are then linked to an overall site plan. The aim is to be able to schedule the rooms and apartments from the main site plan. For…
In the session we looked at dimension standards and site modifiers. In particular the attendees want to look at the differences between existing and proposed terrain. Dimension standards are useful because they can control the look of your dimensions, giving you just the look that you require while site modifiers…
I was helping a client the other day with a survey drawing. The file was all 2D, so the spot levels had to be manually added. The surveyor had the text for the height of the spot level, but there was no corresponding 3D locus for creating the site model.
In this session we looked at retaining walls and site modifiers. We looked at the Landscape Wall tool to see is this will retain the site model in the way we want. We also looked at using site modifiers to create retaining walls and using hardscape as site modifiers.
In this session we looked at there topics: creating a custom window symbol, editing the roof of a massing model, and using a 3D polygon to modify a site model.
A massing model can be used as a site modifier.
In this session we looked at creating a hatch, tiling, applying the hatch and tile to a hardscape, using a stir as a site modifier and the resources for leaning how to control stairs.
I had an interesting challenge today, I had a few hundred spot levels that were at the wrong height. Due to importing a DXF file and scaling, the stake objects were out by a factor of 10. I had to select each stake object and multiply the height of the…
This was the second session for the Landmark Special Interest Group. There was only one attendee, so the user was able to guide topics of the session. Of particular interest was site modeling.
