Lands Design (as a plugin) works on top of Rhino/AutoCAD/Civil 3D and takes advantage of all their features to complete all stages of a landscape project.

Lands Design is a professional BIM software for landscape design. It lets you develop 2D drawings and 3D technical models of the project while easily switching between 2D and 3D with just one click. By leveraging BIM technology, Lands Design automatically generates quantity takeoff lists of plants, Earthmoving operations, furniture, and other materials. It lets you collaborate easily with other architectural and civil engineering software programs supported by Autodesk® AutoCAD®.

Lands Design has a fast and intuitive user interface that lets users learn quickly. It includes more than 80 specific commands to extend AutoCAD capabilities.

Main features that streamline the CAD design processes in Lands Design include:

• Powerful terrain modelling tools for creating terrain, earthmoving operations, and creating terrains by indicating the location of the project on the map.
• Plant database with more than 8000 plants totally customizable with the Lands Design ¨plant editor¨ which lets you produce a new species or modify the characteristics and the 3D model of an existing one.
• Documentation tools for preparing technical plans such as dimension plan, planting layout plan, irrigation plan, and producing schedules, adding labels, etc.
• Visualization tools for creating animation with seasonal change of plants, render compatibility, image filters, etc.

Lands Design is distributed based on the “try-before-you-buy” policy. This means that you can download it for free, try it, and make sure it works for you before you make a purchase decision.
