We also edit any externally sourced content including manufacturers libraries with some of our standard parameters to enable some Level 2 compatibility. Now, there has been some criticism of NBS with the release of their family templates, but as a starting point for your own content they are very useful and provide a reliable basis.

All our in-house Revit content is created using edited versions of NBS family templates. During the implementation of BIM within the practice the decision was taken to establish our standard method of working as compatible with Level 2 maturity as far as possible. It’s great to be able to model your landscape scheme in a 3D environment and be able to watch it develop through the design process but unless that scheme has the same level of intelligence behind it that your building model has then it can be pretty pointless from a BIM point of view. The Landscape Institute have been continually working to establish some common methodologies and here at Austin-Smith:Lord we have been developing our own using the LI information as a starting point. We use Autodesk Revit and as most people familiar with the software will know, the landscape side of Revit was never its strong point. In case of questions or queries, please submit them over our contact page.As a multi-disciplinary practice, part of our move to using BIM capable software meant that we had to be able to model anything within the software of choice. It is all stored below and available for a quick download!

In addition, you will also find vase and decoration families here. We also offer Revit landscape families, check it out below!

In this section you will find the following types of plants: However, since we attempt to diversify our collection of families, we released Plant families for a free download – just click the link below and you’ll receive the whole family in one piece. It is true that just a minority of designers are reputed to use Revit plants, partially due to the fact that some designers and architects do not use Revit for visualization and rendering purposes.

As to offer more choice in these families, Revit has produced over 300+ Plant families for your design projects. Green spaces attract the eyes of spectators – it is naturally human to love green décor.
