Revit Plug-in for Generating ANY Site on Earth - Revit Plug-in Tutorial

[@trendpurse]

Absolutely incredible, this is a game-changer. Having this functionality with the features as objects, and the detail of each, is a long overdue tool. Hit bullseye with this.

[@GRUMPNUGS]

This is actually going to help me a lot with my current project. Thank you!

[@rociovictoria747]

Listen. This basically saved my life. Easiest way to get simple topography anywhere.

[@Felix-von-hinterm-Mond]

This looks so cool in the video. I immediately tried out the freeware for some hours and was then pretty disappointed... I think, this plug-in could be much better, but there are several big design flaws, so I would never recommend spending money into this plugin for Revit: - Why is the topo imported aligned to project north? That does not make any sense to me. -Rotation of the topo is only possible in a catastrophic workflow, as the satellite image is a material surface and will not rotate or align automatically with the topo after rotations... -It's not possible to see what quality you will get with your order before ordering. You have to spend the credits and then you will know what you get... -Revit 2024 is supported, but place maker will still create topo surfaces instead of toposolids. If you convert the surface into a solid, the satellite image will not be aligned anymore. So you have do align by yourself, again with the shitty workflow.

[@ClaudioFrusteri]

Fantastic Plugin ! Thank you for your explanation!

[@shanevaughan7809]

I'll be checking this out asap! Thanks for the great videos.

[@xcess97]

you’re work it’s amazing

[@nagendramalkhed5658]

Good concept and explanation

[@ahmedmuheeb6768]

this is an amazing plug in

[@vadimcotic4694]

Hi, i really enjoy yours video, especially for beginners, but could you make an tutorial for or something near about HVAC systems(fans, ERV, AC, chillers, ...) and how to better represent them as views in PDF. Thank you very much for your colossal work!!!

[@Artkeytechture]

Great video, and thanks for all the tips.

[@rjamarille]

Very Interesting topic. Thank you for providing this tutorial.

this looks so good and easy to use

[@robertskalnitis6063]

Can you edit individual buildings to have specified height?

[@dagimsisay]

Thank you very much !! is it totally free to use or there are some features needs to be purchased I want to clean that up!thank you again !

[@oneforhouse]

Seems to be nice! But after a not saved Revit crash I also lost the paid downloaded terrain modules, which you cant call back from the seller. So be aware to keep saving state of work.

[@mind.sight.studios]

If you contact PlaceMaker support, they can refund the credits for your failed import / crash or send you a model of the terrain after verifying your order.

[@mohsinpathan7692]

Very usefull for landsacpe park project good content brother

[@hayaahmad9862]

I am wondering if i need to create the surrounding around my building should i do this first or after I design the building? And are they going to be at the same scale and proportion?

[@myszons]

If someone use revit, there is high probabilty this person has infraworks 360 and it can do this same way better and results can be send to revit. Anyhow this plugin seems to be interesting.

[@senzie303]

Sir, how can I fix the project base point "Angle to True North" problem? I imported it and it didn't rotate to true north

[@duduturgeman264]

Nice step in revit thank you😇

[@kinglew0773]

How do I import this data into another project, my current template is bugged and won’t let me create levels or elevations

[@MrEddyFoss]

That's a dope tool

[@johnwilson7680]

Can this be used for checking views from within your building? If you want to check the views of distant mountains, do you have to create the topography all the way to the distant mountain or can they be created separately and placed at their respective locations? Thanks.

[@wrighthausracing9641]

Following 👌🏻

[@MrKert86]

Following

[@coles7811]

You can create them separately. You can select different areas of geography to import. So zoom to the mountain you want and import it, then have the program generate a topographic surface from there.

[@davidolmsted6057]

Exactly!! Thanks Balkan

[@ElectroNeuron]

Amazing

[@coles7811]

Really cool product in theory, but the issue is the lack of previews before purchasing. Essentially it's asking me to make choices and pay for something but not giving me an actual real understanding of what I'm getting or paying for. Just makes it a guessing game and somewhat confusing

[@shanecoppinger7024]

should send that to them instead of commentating on video

[@Gates3Designs]

read title and clicked so fast

[@shanevaughan7809]

HELP!!! I've installed this and bought credits after watching your video - but I can't get my head around how Project North and True North are interacting. The plugin seems to import the data as Project North, but the imagery is facing true north. I can't work out how to rotate it so that Project North and True North interact correctly. Please help.

[@dennishuisman8534]

Haven't tried the add in but I guess you should have project north aligned with True north for the site model. Link this to the model you're working on and create the location setup there.

[@shanevaughan7809]

@@dennishuisman8534 I'll give that a try, use "rotate true north" to bring the model back to the correct alignment for drafting. That should work it's just a shame the use of true north and project north end up reversed.

[@green_land4344]

Very nice

[@thaddperkins]

What’s this Eerth place? Sounds amazing lol. Thanks for all the content. Really helping me through grad school right now.

[@olauda]

What's this look like if you switch on Enscape?

[@plusminus5483]

I'd like to know that too!

[@saraebrahem6237]

Hi Balkon.I have tried th plugin, but some how the image comes in 3d not compatible with the orientation of my project although I have set the true north and project north correctly. any help on this?

[@trevorbelmont4633]

What other plugins, softwares and workflow alternatives do you have to get the same if not better results?

[@s360vr9]

Excellent! Then, can we upload this output on the web?

[@jjcalopez3233]

This is ok for existing Levels and existing elements in order to do the proposed plans Landscape project, hoping this is accurate if not it will be a big problem if the client gave the site survey Levels then use this and its not matching with it

[@olik136]

nice Plug-in, but the pricing and the subscription model with additional costs is not ok. The shown example was about 160 credits (so about 40€) with the bonus from the subscription and I really would hate paying for credits after having already payed 300€ for the sub ..

[@OscarFernandez-bg8ot]

Good evening... I am having a warming whenever I chose the option to find a place. I get an Error saying; "(Writing of Entities of this Schema is not allowed to the current add-in.") Do you know how to resolve this issue?

I put the topography into my project but it did not come out at the same scale of the structure I created can I reduce the size of the topography? And another question .. after I created the grid the topography is also incorrect in terms of elevation points, it has only one moderate slope what can I do? Please answer

[@rajeshsunkari1488]

Looks like a great plugin. Thanks for sharing! May I know what is the file size for that perticaular project after importing all?

[@nikodoo9939]

Why not use Infraworks for this? It's already in Autodesk suite

[@rayge]

Would this process be a good use to get a city skyline for use with 3d printing?

[@giffordwhyte3206]

Do you teach all this in your courses on you website?

[@Borriiiss]

Seems a bit counter intuative that you have to specify the building heights, I would want the actual building heights of these existing buildings if i were to use a tool like this.

[@mariacruchinho4687]

Thanks for this, very helpfull!! I was wondering if there´s any way to do the reverse, can I export my Revit model and place it on google earth? I have in mind that Cadtoearth was the way but can't find it anymore... Any tips???

I am noticing that from sometime you are not providing general revit tutorials but promoting promotional videos for obvious reasons. I'm afread your channel will seriously impacted by this approach. Just my observation... Your channel your rules.

[@198000669]

Hi, I always follow you in your videos, I would like to ask you a question: it is possible to realise a project in Archicad and export only reinforced concrete column beams. In Revit, make the armour and export back to Archicad to have a complete reinforced concrete model? Do the two programs interact well? Thank you

[@uroskosticuroskostic]

It looked good but when I tried the problem is that it has really bad accuracy in terms of topography at least in my case. Is that somehow possible to fix?

[@seanband1639]

You will only get accurate topo data from an actual survey performed by a survey company unfortunately.

[@uroskosticuroskostic]

​@@seanband1639 Of course and I have it, but I thought to have model with bigger surrounding with more less correct topography for presentations but topography that I get is not even close to realty.

Is it use full for point cloud data

[@DaveCarlsen-g7r]

So now that you have this "site context", put a model you have built for this location and render it in Enscape. That's the payoff for this - nice to see on screen but what wow can you show the client that makes this stand out.

[@stane89]

Can you do this in Archicad?

[@GabeRocSki]

The free trail should allow you to see if there is even any information available before purchasing tokens. I bought tokens and the area i needed didnt even have information for vegetation.... Lame and waist of money.

[@rgtect1]

So I got the plugin and bought 100 credits for $25. I'm glad I didn't buy 1000 credits for $150. I do single family houses for the most part. The plugin downloaded the topOgraphy. It had none of the surrounding houses or images and the roads are HORRIBLE

[@renielfanini9879]

@@beetledrift it might be sponsored. I use Revit to make my buildings, Lumion student to make my nice renderings (requires med-high end pc) and google earth+illustrator to make my topo. its all free for students (Illustrator depends what deal your school has with adobe). You can make a topo from an illustrator drawing on revit, it is time consuming (the longest I have spent is about 4 hours but it was an entire hill). I don't blame Balkan Architect for not disclosing pricing cause it might be a contract but this one is too much for us students. I usually don't even bother with the topo on revit. Lumion does that for me. I only do it if its required to give info for the site on a particular homework.
