Landscape Design Software

2D and 3D landscape design of gardens, public and private parks, landscape and exterior spaces

With Edificius LAND you can address garden design, public and private parks, landscape architecture and exterior spaces design in general, therefore anything connected with urban and public spaces planning.

You have specific BIM objects at your disposal to produce renderings and beautiful project presentations.
Roads, Yards, Shed structures, Stairs, Ramps… allow you to easily model the necessary objects for garden and exterior spaces design. Landscaping design projects can reach a high level of detail when using advanced parametric objects specifically developed for landscape design such as terrain profile pavements, exterior stair sets and ramps with railings, fences, gratings, gutters, sidewalks and kerbs, barriers, landscaping walls, etc.
Even the flowerbed and swimming pool are at your disposal as parametric BIM objects for modelling.
The Tree object also offers realistic photographic representations of a wide selection of trees, bushes and plants. Edificius LAND already comes with an archive of trees and many others can be downloaded from the continuously updated online catalogue.

Terrain modelling: reconstruction of a topographic land survey

With Edificius LAND quickly rebuild a complex topographic land survey working plan view or in directly in 3D. Get highly professional results in a very intuitive way with terrain contour lines, landscape plans, topo plans and height nodes.
Contour lines and topographic contour plans provide efficient and precise terrain modelling tools by means of known altitude values (iso-lines) or by means of triangulations with vertices at known altitudes (contour plans). The height nodes also allow precise fine tune modelling adding terrain details (such as small soil depressions or localized mounds).
Even import topographic land surveys from DXF/DWG land surveys to model the terrain automatically to be even more accurate and fast. After simple straight forward steps you get a 3D model of the terrain on which you can start working with specific landscaping BIM objects.

Terrain modelling and Garden design: project documents that are generated automatically

Garden design and exterior spaces design, either from within the 2D or 3D landscape working environments, allows you to quickly generate these documents and drawings automatically:

• plan views of the project (with customizable styles);
• cross-sections (with the original land profile reference as obtained from the land survey)
• isometric 3D views (with selection and styles)
• perspective views
• realistic views
• renderings
• animations (with 3D pathways)
• dynamic comparisons between the land survey and the planned project phases (with step by step view of works)

The drawing model management is simple and flexible. Easily compose detailed drawing models to form construction documents and working drawings with great flexibility in customising layout styles. A series of 2D drawing support graphics allows you to choose from labels, legends, and tables… Everything automatically and dynamically aligned with the project’s graphical data.

Garden and exterior spaces design integrated with bill of quantities data.

Edificius LAND even keeps track of surface and volume data in relation to the various earthwork phases. Simply:

• select the elements
• define a reference price list
• define the rules of measurement
• and get your BoQ automatically.

Each variation of the project corresponds to a seamless variation in the Bill of Quantities data and relating amounts.
