Thanks for the reply.

 

Though Civil View is availbale, that is mainly a visual tool for migrating Civil3D data to be viewed in 3DS Max and create renderings and animations.

 

Landscape architecture is more than planting design. Landscape architects are a jack-of-all-trades: we are site engineers, horticulturists, planners, environmentalists, and architects. Meaning:

-Site Engineers: we engineer a site, much like a civil engineer, though with an emphasis on molding the land with an aesthetic value and give our work a meaning beyond meeting a grade/slope percentage.

 

-Horticulturists: yes, we do specify plant material and create planting designs and would benefit from having easy access to a plant database (a la LandFX, but not nearly as buggy and without the expensive cost)

 

-Planners: Map3D does provide alot of the functionality for site analysis and planning, but it comes at the cost of another added layer of software and not the standard used by students in school.

 

-Environmentalists: the most recent add-ons for Civil3D (River Analysis), and the tools available in Infraworks offer tools for useful for wetland mitigation, stream restoration, and so on but by no means complete or available in one software application.

 

-Architects: by far the majority of our work is site design and documentation of our design for CD's in a typical AutoCAD environment. Unlike our Architect friends who have Revit which brings them into the BIM world for expediting documentation of design and design analsysis, we are stuck with using vanilla CAD.
