No known critical issues at the time of publication. Performance note: Toposolid editing in Autodesk® Revit® 2024 can be slower than in newer Revit versions, especially with complex terrain. This is an internal Revit limitation, not a LandForm limitation. For improved Toposolid editing performance, use the latest supported Revit version when possible. Some commands depend on the current Revit view, visible and editable model elements, loaded family types, or access to an output location. In workshared projects, borrow or make the target elements editable before running a command. If selection is unavailable, switch to a suitable plan or 3D view and check visibility. Save a working copy before first use. For current notes and resolved issues, see https://landformautomation.com/updates. Report problems to info@landformautomation.com with the LandForm and Autodesk® Revit® versions, command name, steps to reproduce, and any error message.

Shape your terrain with any of the mound tools. They place adaptive handles in the view so the landform can be dragged into shape.
Choose **Adaptive Points** to turn those handles on or off in the active view. When the view uses a view template, LandForm updates the template automatically, and also updates the view's own setting where Revit allows it — so the handles leave your drawings without hunting through Visibility/Graphics.
Once a mound is finished and the handles are no longer needed, choose **Cleanup Adaptive Points**. It searches the whole document, reports what it found, and asks for confirmation before deleting anything.
Only handles created by the LandForm mound tools are removed. Other adaptive components in your model, including Tensile Creator grips, are left alone.

Terrain · Contour Draw
LandForm tab → Terrain panel → Contour Draw
Open a plan or 3D view where the target terrain and reference geometry are visible. Confirm the target element is editable.
Open LandForm tab → Terrain panel → Contour Draw.
Open a plan or 3D view where the target terrain and reference geometry are visible. Confirm the target element is editable.
Open Contour Draw from the Terrain panel, in a plan or 3D view.
Set the start elevation and the contour interval in metres. A negative interval steps downhill. Or choose ⌖ Pick and click any snapped point in the model — on a toposolid, a floor, or a linked CAD or Revit file — to read the elevation from the model and start drawing there.
Choose a drawing mode: Spline by control points, Spline through points, or Revit's native Model Line tool.
Choose Draw and click points for the first contour. Press Esc to finish it — the spline is created, the work plane rises by one interval, and the next contour starts immediately. Press Esc with no points to stop.
While drawing, Revit's work plane display switches on automatically — a colored translucent grid at the contour elevation that clips against the model, showing exactly where the plane passes through it. The grid centres itself on the terrain the current elevation actually cuts, so it lands on the surface you are about to draw on before you click. If several surfaces are in range, the one nearest your last contour wins, and your first click brings the grid with you. On top of that, an amber trace highlights precisely where the current elevation intersects visible toposolids, topography, and floors, so each contour can follow the existing ground — and a thinner cyan trace shows the level after it, so you can see where the next contour will run before you finish this one. Amber dots mark where the current level leaves a surface — at its outer edge or at the edge of a hole in it — which is where a contour has to start and finish. Both update every time the level changes, and the grid is hidden again when the toolbar closes.
Or choose Auto Smooth Contours to draw the whole set in one go. Every contour on the terrain visible in the view is traced, at every interval across the surface's full height, and each is smoothed into a spline rather than following the jagged mesh edges. The levels stay in step with the elevation in the box, so Auto and hand-drawn contours line up. The whole set is a single undo.
To adjust a contour by hand, choose Edit Points and pick it. It is reduced to a handful of grips rather than the hundreds of vertices it was traced with, so it can actually be grabbed. The box beside the button chooses what a click does — Move grips drags a point (Ctrl+click removes it), Add points inserts one where you click, with clicks past either end extending the contour, and Remove points deletes the grip you click. Editing stays open: Esc finishes the contour you are on and asks for the next one, so a whole set can be worked through in one go, and a second Esc ends the session. The elevation never changes, so contours stay level.
Choose New from Contours to convert the drawn contours — or any selected model lines — into a Toposolid. The footprint is traced from the contours themselves, not a convex hull around the points.
Or choose New from Drawn Area to set the outline yourself instead of having it traced. It goes in two passes, each asking one thing at a time. First click the corners as a polyline, with a rubber band showing the edge you are placing and the one that will close the shape; press Esc to close it. The outline then stays on screen while you shape it, and every edge shows a midpoint grip labelled with how far that edge is bent — zero while it is straight. Click a grip, then click where it should sit, and the edge bends into an arc through that point; move it back onto the straight line to flatten the edge again. The edge under the cursor highlights, and clicking anywhere along an edge works too. Shape as many edges as you like, in any order, and re-click a grip to adjust it. Revit's snapping applies throughout, so corners and curve points land on existing geometry. A second Esc builds the Toposolid. Its edge is matched to the surfaces the outline runs over or beside, the same way New from Enclosed Area does it, so the new terrain meets the paths around it instead of dropping off at its boundary — and the contours that fall inside are draped onto the middle.
Choose New from Enclosed Area to build a Toposolid in the open area a selection of elements rings. Select the paths, kerbs, terrain, steps, stairs, railings, or model lines around the space — their top surfaces are flattened to plan in the background and traced as one arrangement, and the courtyard between them is filled. The elements themselves are left alone: only the space they enclose becomes terrain. Anything standing free inside, such as a planter, is punched out as an opening, and elevations are read from the surrounding surfaces so the new Toposolid meets the paths rather than sitting flat.
Choose Apply Contours to push the contours into terrain that already exists instead of making a new Toposolid: pick the Toposolid or floor, and the drawn lines become shape points at their own elevations. The Offset does not apply here — the surface is driven onto the contours exactly. Points falling outside the surface or on its edge are skipped and reported.
Choose Clear Lines to remove every contour drawn since the tool was opened, once the lines have served their purpose. It confirms first, leaves anything drawn beforehand alone, and can be undone. Any Toposolid built from those contours is safe: lines that a surface depends on are detected and kept.
Use the Contour Draw control reference below to verify every setting before confirming the operation.
Spline by control points, spline through points, or Revit's native Model Line tool.
Elevation of the current contour in metres.
Reads the elevation from a snapped pick on any model element — including linked CAD or Revit files — then starts drawing at that height.
Contour interval in metres; negative steps downhill.
Starts the pick loop on the current work plane. Esc finishes the contour and advances one interval.
Reduces a contour to a few draggable grips and reshapes it in plan at its own elevation.
What a click does while editing: Move grips, Add points, or Remove points.
Slices the visible terrain at every interval and draws each slice as a smoothed spline, in one undoable action.
Vertical shift applied to the points of a Toposolid applied to any newly created Toposolid, in metres. Defaults to -0.05 m so the new surface sits below the contours, leaving room for a paving build-up. Apply Contours ignores it.
Converts drawn or selected contour lines into a Toposolid with a traced footprint.
Draws the outline of a new Toposolid by hand and drapes the drawn contours onto it.
Builds a Toposolid in the open area the selected elements ring, draped onto the surfaces around it.

Open a project view, then start Planting Library from LandForm tab → Element panel → Planting Library. Trees, palms, xeriscapes, shrubs, groundcovers, ornamental grasses, climbers, and lawns are browsed together in one window.
Choose the library source from Import / Update. Use the bundled LandForm catalog, browse a company library workbook, keep editing that workbook in Excel and reload it, or use Save as Library to export every catalog sheet into one editable workbook the office can maintain and share.
Choose a category, then narrow the catalog with the search box and the status, form, irrigation, and Native only filters. Search matches plant code, botanical name, common name, and traits.
Review the selected record. The panel shows the plant photo, code, botanical and common names, mature size, form, water need, native status, and the installation values used to generate content. The FAMILY thumbnail also draws the clear zone currently assigned to the record — the excavation stored on its family once the plant is in the project, or the library default before that.
Build the batch. Check the rows you need, use Shift-click to check a range, or Ctrl/Shift-select rows and press Space. Select all visible checks everything the filters currently show, and Clear checked empties the batch including rows hidden by filters.
Set Also create Planting family when shrubs, groundcovers, or ornamental grasses need a placed family as well as a Toposolid type. Tree and xeriscape records always generate a Planting family.
Choose Add Checked to Project to create every checked record, or Create Active + Place to create only the active row and place its Planting family at a picked point. Item-level progress is reported as the batch runs.

Open LandForm tab → Interoperability panel → SketchUp Import (BETA).
Prepare the source CAD or table file and check that the destination model elements and parameters are writable.
Open SketchUp Import from the Interoperability panel's CAD menu and choose a `.skp` file. The model is read in the background.
Review the mapping table. It lists three sections — Groups, Materials, and Components — each with a count and a Set all control for bulk changes.
Map groups to Skip, Toposolid, DirectShape, or By Material, choosing a Revit category for shapes. By Material pools the group's painted faces into the Materials section.
Map each SketchUp material to Skip, Toposolid, or DirectShape. Toposolid rows can create their type automatically — named after the material, with a matching Revit material in the SketchUp colour and surface pattern.
Map components to existing family types, or choose Auto to generate a loadable family from the SketchUp geometry with its materials.
Run. Terrain reads the drawn surface — top faces only, deduplicated — with exact plan boundaries traced from the mesh, so each disjoint patch becomes its own cleanly bounded Toposolid. Components land at each instance's true position and rotation.
Review the summary. Every warning is collected into a log file the summary names.

Interoperability · Detail Converter
LandForm tab → Interoperability panel → Detail Converter
Prepare the source CAD or table file and check that the destination model elements and parameters are writable.
Open LandForm tab → Interoperability panel → Detail Converter.
Prepare the source CAD or table file and check that the destination model elements and parameters are writable.
Open the drafting or detail view that holds the CAD detail, then start Detail Converter from LandForm tab → Interoperability panel → CAD → Detail Converter.
Choose Pick CAD and select the CAD import or link that holds the typical detail.
Choose Map to scan the CAD and show the layer mapping. Mapping only reads the drawing, so the whole mapping can be reviewed before anything is created.
Assign a Revit line style to each CAD layer. Use Smart Map to match every layer automatically from the weight words CAD standards use, such as THIN, MEDM, HVY, HIDDEN, and CTR, or open Styles and drag a line style onto a row. Each row previews its style at the style's own weight, colour, and dash pattern, and clicking a row draws that layer's CAD linework on screen in the row's colour.
To drive the run from a shared standard instead, set Use workbook, then choose Template to write a starter workbook from the picked layers and this project's line styles, edit its `CADLayers` and `RevitLineStyle` columns, and choose Import to load the rows back in.
Choose what to convert. Lines creates detail or model curves per layer, Hatch creates filled regions from closed CAD hatch boundaries, and Text creates text notes from CAD Text and MText. Set the line kind, region type, and text type to use.
Leave Auto set to rebuild each CAD hatch pattern as its own Revit drafting fill pattern and matching filled region type, without the original `.pat` file. Review the pattern rows, rename the types LandForm will create, and click a row to shade every hatch that uses that pattern on screen. Clear Auto to place every region with the single selected region type instead.
Choose Run. Curves are grouped by target line style and created in batches, and the summary reports converted, unmapped, and short-curve counts, plus any hatch pattern that had to be simplified or approximated.
Finish the detail with the companion actions where the CAD leaders were plain linework: Leader adds a straight leader to selected text notes, and Leader End picks a note and its arrow point while keeping the elbow orthogonal.
Choose Dim and drag a dimension line across the detail. Every line it crosses becomes a witness line without selecting anything first, and Overall adds a second dimension spanning the first and last crossed line, clear of the segmented string.
Reuse the setup on the next detail. Every mapping choice, created-type name, and prefix is saved per user and restored on the next run. Created pattern and region types take an editable prefix, LF-PATT- by default, so generated content sorts together, and an existing project pattern or region type of the same name is reused rather than duplicated.
Use the Cad Detail Converter control reference below to verify every setting before confirming the operation.
Select the CAD import that holds the typical detail.
Show the CAD layer to Revit line style mapping and run Smart Map.
Convert mapped CAD linework into Revit curves.
Create view-specific detail lines, or model lines on the view sketch plane.
Convert closed CAD hatch boundaries into filled regions.
Filled region type used for every converted CAD hatch. Not used while Auto is on, because the type then comes from the CAD pattern.
Rebuild each CAD hatch pattern as its own filled region type, named after the CAD layer. Clear this to place every region with the type on the left.
Convert CAD Text and MText into Revit text notes.
Text note type used for converted CAD text.
Add a straight leader to every selected text note that has none.
Pick a text note and its leader endpoint. The elbow stays orthogonal.
Drag a dimension line across the detail. Every line it crosses is dimensioned; no selection needed.
Also add an overall dimension outboard of the string, spanning the first and last crossed line.
Convert the selected CAD detail using the current mapping.
Automatically match each CAD layer to the closest Revit line style.
Show or hide the line style browser for drag/drop mapping.
Run the conversion from the mapping workbook instead of the rows below.

Drag a line style onto a CAD layer row, or double-click to assign it to the selected row.
Reuse the setup on the next detail. Every mapping choice, created-type name, and prefix is saved per user and restored on the next run. Created pattern and region types take an editable prefix, LF-PATT- by default, so generated content sorts together, and an existing project pattern or region type of the same name is reused rather than duplicated.
