A theoretical and practical guide on how to get it right, and why the ‘Set Coordinates’ tool was invented.
One of the main causes of confusion when it comes to Shared Coordinates, is that we often fail to geolocate our projects to begin with. And then, even when you do everything ‘by the book’, your Revit links might fall out of place for no apparent reason.
In this article, we will demystify the topic of Shared Coordinates in Revit, as well as provide the practical steps required for you to master Revit coordinates.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) has revolutionized the construction industry, offering a collaborative and data-rich environment for project delivery. But let’s face it, not every project starts within the rigid structure of BIM. For many designers, especially in the realm of conceptual design, the freedom and flexibility of Rhino, with its unparalleled capabilities for free-form shapes, rules. However, as projects progress, the need for BIM becomes inevitable. This creates an obstacle – how can we seamlessly translate those initial, creative ideas from Rhino into Revit- the BIM powerhouse?
Can technology help model a site in the middle of the forest without impact and, more importantly, do it quickly?
Here’s a challenge: How to survey an area deep in the woods without harming the natural environment in the process and deliver a BIM model of the site in a record-breaking time?
As the field of landscape architecture is experiencing a technological Renaissance, tools and workflows are emerging to enhance design capabilities, improve collaboration, and optimize project outcomes.
This brand-new version packs 4 new cutting-edge tools and countless improvements that we just know you will love. So grab your coffee (or your favorite brain fuel), because we’re about to dive into some serious awesomeness!
How Environment for Revit® has helped landscape architects and BIM professionals at Page.
“When I discovered the environment plugin it turbocharged my adoption of Revit .”
Evan Granito, Landscape Architect. Page.

You probably heard about Environment for Revit®, the plugin that’s making outdoor and site design more accessible in Revit. As BIM takes center stage in the AEC industry, keeping pace is crucial for landscape architects.
But here’s something you probably didn’t know: Environment is equipped with over 55 tools hidden up its sleeve. These tools are like a magic wand against Revit’s limitations, and they’re very useful for architects, interior designers, and even civil engineers who use Revit! No matter your role, these features can make your work easier.
Let’s explore 5 (or more) of these tools in Environment for Revit® that not only Landscape Architects can enjoy.
Finally, Environment for Revit® finds its place in the Revit toolbar, where do you think it is? Who needs reality shows when you can watch LIVE WEBINAR of Environment? And… come and see how you can also take part in our growing global community.
