Any further data about the plant you see in your drawing – the type and size of that plant, as well as that plant's symbol – is stored in the above-mentioned Land F/X project database. When you add a plant to a Land F/X project and then place it in a CAD drawing or 3D model, the file contains the information on the actual placement of that plant. Revit has several possible file types.) A SketchUp, Rhino, or Revit file contains the information about what you actually see in the drawing or model: the symbols you place and the locations where you place them. (Specifically, a CAD drawing is a DWG file, a SketchUp model is an SKP file, and a Rhino model is a 3DS file. While a Land F/X project is a database, a CAD drawing or 3D model is an actual file on your desktop or server. Information from your CAD drawing or 3D model This database DOES NOT contain information about the actual placement of your plants and site amenities in your drawing.

It also contains the information associated with each plant or site amenity in your project, such as plant's symbol and size. The placement information from a CAD drawing showing where you've placed those itemsĪ Land F/X project is essentially a database that lists all items, such as plants and site amenities that you've added to that project.

The data contained in a Land F/X project – that is, the plants and site amenities you've added to your project The 3D Connection tool is a means of transferring two sets of information between CAD and your 3D models: Similarly, before you can import a 3D model into CAD, you'll first need to export it to the 3D COnnection Cloud from SketchUp, Rhino, or Revit. Before you can import your CAD design into 3D, you'll need to export it from CAD into the 3D Connection Cloud by following the steps below. The Land F/X 3D Connection is based on exporting and importing your site design. We support SketchUp versions 2017 and newer.

Please note that we no longer support SketchUp 8. We do not support the free version of SketchUp. We are only able to support these editions because our 3D Connection is based on the Ruby platform and requires an edition of Sketchup that supports the Core Ruby API and Extension Warehouse. The Land F/X 3D Connection supports the following editions of Sketchup: This means you have access to an ever-growing library of publicly available SketchUp 3D symbols. SketchUp also has a large support community of users. While no 3D software is 'easy' to learn, SketchUp is considered by many to be the easiest to use of the available options. Note also that Land F/X only supports the full Revit version – not Revit LT. Power Tip: The Planting F/X for Revit Plugin Supported Revit Editions
