Revit Site Designer

[Anonymous]

I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered the Site Designer feature for Revit. Even more when I read some promising term: LandXML. However, that standard does not seem to have gained much traction.

http://www.landxml.org/ 

My objective is to add a Street (Elm) and a Lincoln Continental to my 3D Model of Dealey Plaza.

Need to get the most accurate topographic data as possible. This is what I have:

https://maps.dcad.org/prd/dpm/?parcelid=000010001301A0000 

If the Revit/LandXML combo are not ready for that tall order, what else could I use?

TIA,

Hi;

You have a lot of options, one of them is "REVIT SITE DESIGNER". Autodesk's own extension is good for site modeling. The other is "DYNAMAPS" with which you can use "REVIT - DYNAMO" very useful, but hopefully not for TURKEY. i hope to it work in your country. Last one is "Ge-Terrain" its paid add-on but works fine, its give 0.5-2 meter accuraccy from google maps.

To automatically import topography;

DynaMaps 

Geo-Terrain

Thanks, Borakin.

I am located in Dallas, Texas.

I was about to purchase Ge-Terrain ($28, my kind of price), but it seems to be only for Revit 2019?

Ge-Terrain at the Autodesk Store 

One more question: I can easily get satellite images of Dealey Plaza, and look at them in my Revit. However, I want to broadcast those images to a number of non-technical people. What kinds of media can I send them? A URL? MP4?

TIA,

The version of Ge-Terrain for Revit 2020 may be purchased here:

Ge-Terrain for Revit 2020 at the Autodesk Store 

Important Notes:
(1) You need to have a developer account at Google (same used to put Google Maps in websites)

(2) You have to enable 3 Google Developer APIs.
