Revit for Landscape - Training

If you're thinking of going BIM, you might have thought about Revit, because it's BIMmmy. I will warn you now, whatever software you're using, you might have a couple of workarounds right?! That's nothing compared to using Revit for Landscape Design. You have been warned... question is, how attractive is the BIM prize. Oh, and don't bother with landscape plugins for Revit, they're essentially window dressing. Revit for Landscape Training from our friends in Norway

Autodesk for Landscape ... or.... or....

If you're in Landscape and you want to 'BIM'. You need to know your position within the software matrix. It looks something like this:

Autodesk and Bentley have the widest offering. Covering GIS, Parametric Architectural Modelling, Civils software and Clash detection. The draw for Autodesk products is the offering of planting plugins (and perhaps the fact that their software is the industry standard in the UK, see below). If perhaps in their infinite wisdom Bentley one day decide to let academics use their software for free then perhaps one day the UK will use their software.
