Landscape design in Rhino
-
Vegetation: Lands includes a variety of functions and types of objects related to the planting of green elements in a landscaping project. These functions will greatly help the professional when locating plant species in a garden space.
-
Civil Work: Structural elements, like paths, fences, walls, hedges, etc. link the garden to the house and, in the case of a park or square, to its immediate surroundings. A balanced assembly of structural elements and plants will give a highly attractive spatial composition. Lands can be used to easily draw all these structural elements in both 2-D and 3-D.
-
Terrain Modeling: On many occasions landscape professionals find that they must work on a terrain with undulating topography which requires them to draw the contour curves to be able to represent the topographical relief on a plan. Lands can generate the topographic mesh that shapes the terrain from contour curves
-
Urban Furniture: Lands has incorporated a vast library of urban street equipment in two and three dimensions, in order to meet the needs of landscaping professionals. This library is divided into two categories: urban furniture and play equipment.
-
Watering System: Watering involves providing water to plants to favour their growth. Lands provides the functions required to create a watering installation with a clear and simple approach.
-
Documentation: Lands provides many features for the documentation including self-generated tables on the plan that list the project’s elements, labelling functions that can associate a label to each plant in the project and additional dimensioning features, allowing the dimensioning of plants and civil works elements.
-
Plant Database: Lands includes a wide plant database which can be used by the landscaping professional to insert plant species in the drawing. It can also be very useful as a tool used as reference and to submit queries and print the botanical data of different species.
-
Render: Lands features can be expanded by using it with Flamingo nXt, a photorealistic render plug-in for Rhino. Flamingo nXt generates quality render images, it is fast and easy to use. Moreover, it includes a real time plant generator which simulates very realistic three-dimensional trees. This last feature makes Flamingo nXt the ideal tool to complement Lands features.
