Autocad blocks for landscape architecture

Autodesk - this is pathetic plea to you - please fill in this gap! I would like to be able to go home at some point and see my family, but I have re-export architectural footprints and elevations and update all my 2D site drawings and then export to sketchup for to model and render.

The architects just have to change their graphic style settings by the way. This seems to be a post more about discounted software, not recommended software, however Vectorworks is an interested alternative.

Former Autodesk developers that have been able to put into one package a set of tools not yet seen in an Autodesk product.

I can see why they would advocate for Autodesk - despite being the industry standard for architecture, structural and civil engineering, mep, and survey, they haven't engaged landscape. This soap box post is hardly the first, but merely an explosion of frustration after a useless AU webinar that completely missed the point.

I agree that this post is like shouting into the wind. Autodesk seems to be preoccupied with taking their current software solutions and repackaging it as new software i. Autodesk Glue. If Autodesk could at least make Revit engage sloped surfaces better and more accurately and easily integrate with Civil 3D, they might actually offer something useful for site design and evolve beyond the basic antiquated framework of 2D CAD.

ASLA as an organization should be able to show those numbers so that Autodesk can see the potential sales opportunities and recognize that we arent using their software for planting design. We are knitting together the building and the site - and having to use two behemoths of software.

I often feel like its like using a battleship to deliver a glass of milk - and expecting it to not be curdled by the time you get there. How about just some training packages or style templates that simplify? How about a way to streamline the software to only use what we need? How about a way to pay that reflects our actual use? How about some discounts through ASLA?

I am surprised too that Autodesk doesn't have a bigger presence in your discipline. I will try to reach out internally to see who I can make the suggestion to. I am just a little guy in a big corporation but I will try! You might also submit an Idea in the Ideas pages. HI kas , I didn't mean to imply that Autodesk products aren't being used but merely that it would be nice to provide more discipline specific features to improve the LSA workflow and design process.

Thanks for taking a proactive approach. As a multidisciplinary firm, we deal with many of the interoperability issues inherent with Autodesk products. If Autodesk is looking for someone to give constructive feedback on their products, we would be happy to provide that. We currently use:.

Hi John, I'm using Autocad again after 3 years on vectorworks landmark. Last week I spent 40 hours add plant callouts.

This is something that is automated in Vectorworks and I wouldn't have to spend any time on. Can you please look into adding a feature like this? Or if this is for scheduling, you could run a dataextraction and build a table to show each Qty, Size, Species, description, comments etc.

Can you share a file on a post or email to john. Please select the Accept as Solution button if my post solves your issue or answers your question. Hi jjamesPX7AM ,.

Thanks for your correspondence offline. I really found the video link useful in seeing some of the functionality that you are describing. I made a quick video that shows a custom Mleader that allows you to indicate from centerpoints of the plants to the tag. You can also place the Mleader and move the label around the plant's trunk.

Lastly, I show the results of a dataextraction that can count all of your plant blocks and even combine similar ones into a single row. I hope this gets somewhat closer to what you are describing. Another method for the callout could be to integrate it into a dynamic block and perhaps set a visibility control to either show or hide the label.

Let me know please, if any of this is of interest and I can share or help get you started on creating such features for your process. Notice: updates available for Apache Log4j vulnerabilities. See the security advisory on the Autodesk Trust Center for more information.
