Jason,

Thank you for the feedback.

Would you recommend product manufacturers convert their files into Vectorworks or Land-FX? Currently we have all of our products in SketchUp and we have converted about 10 products into Vectorworks.

Zach,

I appreciate your feebback, thank you.

Jordan,

Thank you for the response.

Do you have landscape architects on staff who use Revit as their BIM software? Is there another BIM program that comes to mind instead of Revit?

Eric,

I appreciate the feedback.

So, If I were to use a program that has the .ifc extension, in theory I should be able to import or work with it in Revit?

Thanks,
Stef

Stef

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback.

Thank you Jason! Your response is very much appreciated.

Chris,
Out of the programs you have listed; is there a particular one you use at your firm?

Thanks everyone, these responses are very helpful! Our goal is to make our products as easily accessible as possible for our customers. Knowing what 3D software is available and landscape architects are using helps put things into perspective and gives us some direction to move forward with. I guess I shouldn’t have posted the question about…[Read more]

Jason,

Is there a standard 3D software you use at your company? Is there a specific program that manufacturers can use to incoporate their models (site furniture) into landscape designs? We currently have our product library available in SketchUp and are contemplating making them available in Vectorworks as well as Revit if the demand is there.

At Maglin, we use SolidWorks for product design (benches, trash containers, bollards, bike racks, etc.). Our present requirement is that a software be applicable to both the initial concept development and creative design process and then easily and accurately translate into an engineering capacity for manufacturing. It is important that…[Read more]
