Revit & Civil 3D for Mastering Landscape BIM Workflow

Apply five Revit parameter types—system, project, family, shared, and global—to manage element data, with clear use cases and limitations.

Differentiate between type parameters and instance parameters; type parameters define fundamental properties shared by all instances and are edited in the edit type dialog, while instance parameters vary per element.

Learn to use work sets to segregate data, control access, and synchronize changes in a central model, and manage ownership with editable versus non-editable options.

Master grading with Revit by creating hardscape floors, importing 3D surfaces, and using Dynamo to apply five floor types to Topo Solid via CAD linking and topography.

Model hardscape guardrails in Revit using railing system families and baluster placement, defining patterns, offsets, and post placement for stairs and curved segments.

Model hardscape stairs and floor-mounted handrails in Revit for landscape BIM. Learn to create stair runs, landings, and risers with customizable base and top levels, offsets, and handrail parameters.

Learn to create planting by area using topo solids, assign materials and planting parameters, and generate planting by area schedules for shrubs and ground covers.

Create and place spot elevations for different level types in landscape architecture, distribute them across the grading master plan, and adjust appearance, text, and units using survey and base points.

Learn to create and replace annotation tags for all project categories, load and use custom tag families, and apply tag by category with aligned leaders across sheets and views.
