LandFormRevit add-in · landscape architecture
Terrain that sculpts like terrain. Paving that follows a rule instead of a thousand hand-drawn joints. Planting that stays coordinated from library to schedule. And a delivery set that leaves clean — all from one ribbon tab.
LandForm is a landscape architecture toolkit for Autodesk® Revit® software, covering terrain, planting, analysis, documentation and interoperability workflows.
It brings the repetitive, disconnected parts of landscape production into one considered toolkit — so your model stays useful from the first terrain move to final issue.
Parametric Pattern spreads a seeded colour distribution across any floor or toposolid. Set the palette, choose what the pattern responds to, and the whole field re-lays itself — live, before you commit a single Revit element.
Randomness is repeatable. Save the seed with the preset and the same field comes back tomorrow, on the next sheet, for the next reviewer.
Blend colours toward a fade target, or divide the surface into crisp bands — equal parts across the extent, or a fixed band width repeating outward.
Pick a centre, or pick model lines and the pattern dissolves along live paths — a promenade, a desire line, a kerb — with balance handled for you.
Export a study JPEG, or generate guarded Revit cells with view overrides. Presets save per host type, so the pattern travels with the project.
Browse trees, palms, xeriscapes, shrubs, groundcovers, grasses, climbers and lawns in a single window. Build a mix by percentage, drop it across an area, and let the tags, schedules and quantities follow it.

Start from the bundled catalog or point at a company workbook. Keep editing it in Excel, reload, and every project reads the same botanical names, sizes, water needs and native status.
Zones split a bed into edge, mid and core. Tags connect, schedules update, and QA flags plants sitting too close or left untagged before anyone else finds them.
Queue sheets, 2D views and 3D views together. Choose the formats, apply a naming preset, export the package — and keep a transmittal record of exactly what left the office.
PDF, DWG, DWF, DWFx, NWC and IFC from one queue. CAD exports go out layer-aware, so consultants receive structure instead of a flattened drawing.
LandXML surfaces for the civil team, GIS export for the planners, and coordination models pushed straight to ACC, BIM 360 or Forma.
Batch rename, viewport alignment, export by scope box, plus managers for parameters, surface types, worksets and links — and a cleanup pass for what's left.

Practical notes behind the videos—written for landscape teams who want the principle, not only the button.
Parametric paving is most useful when the rule remains visible. Start with a repeatable unit, expose the variables that matter, then let density and dissolve respond to the site instead of redrawing the field by hand.
Watch the study ↗A terrain study should stay easy to question. Small, reversible sculpting moves help teams test spatial character early while preserving the coordinated surface needed for later documentation.
Watch the study ↗Clean delivery begins before export. A layer-aware workflow reduces cleanup, protects graphic intent, and gives consultants a file that carries the project structure forward instead of flattening it away.
