Fast, flexible and precise terrain (re)modelling in ARCHICAD®
LAND4 offers a new approach to landscape in ARCHICAD and introduces dedicated landscape objects: Spot Levels, Fall Lines, LANDSurfaces and Ridge Lines, as well as LAND4 Composites. All Objects are dynamic and interdependent, which enables fast, flexible and accurate terrain (re)modelling.
Terrain Composites
The introduction of LAND4 Composites enables users to assign different Building Materials constituting a Composite to a terrain surface (LANDSurface). Schedules holding volume data can then be formed and automatically updated when changes to Composite structure and terrain surface are made.
Automated Volumetric Calculations
Using the LAND4 Volumetrics tool, it takes only seconds to compare two terrain models (LANDSurfaces) and calculate e.g. Gross Volume, Fill and Cut Volume, and how much to add or remove from the site. Volumetrics stamp can be automatically created and offers instant overview.
Drape
The Drape function in LAND4 allows you to connect/drape ARCHICAD objects, Columns, Polylines/Splines, and Spot Levels to a LANDSurface. The height of these objects will be adjusted automatically to match the height of the surface in their respective locations. Any changes made to the surface will be reflected in the objects. The latest LAND4 relase introduces Undraping and an offset functionality offering greater flexibility and control.
Exchange of Data
LAND4 provides multiple options to import, export, and manipulate data in different formats. With the inclusion of LandXML and the recent option to choose ARCHICAD’s native Survey Point as reference point for importing and exporting, users can now also share their project data directly with software applications such as CIVIL 3D, MicroStation and 12d. This promotes seamless collaboration between landscape architects and other landscaping professionals.
