How a Landscape Architect Grades a Site

[@vasestudio3325]

I am a big fan of SketchUp and its my favourite 3D software, but for landscape purposes I think its not the best option

[@cytwoelk4285]

At 8 minutes you asked if anyone is excited to see a grading project, and "Yes!" I'm excited to learn more about grading. I want to make some adjustments to the geo-located import I bring in and correct with maps or photogrammetry data (when I have it).

Glad I'm not the only one!

This is an AWESOME tutorial. Thank you so much! I'm dealing with the exact same topo challenges and this helps me go from task A to B so quickly!

hey, sending this from India, I'm three months, into my B.arch thesis which is the last semester, and had always doubts about how to design or master plan on a contoured site, in earlier semesters I got away with small sites and zero to almost no contour data, but in thesis, I selected a site that has contours and I researched so much on how best to go about it by reading books on site planning, reading articles so on and so forth, either the text was way too technical or lengthy or the information was unrelated to what I wanted to hear and use, but by far this is the most helpful video I have found, and I realized there are a lot more new related videos by the same mentor. Sad and Happy it took me so much time to happen on this video. Please make it possible for this video to reach the maximum number of architecture students and students who search for master planning, contours, extract contours, sloped sites, etc. Thanks a lot, looking forward to more such informative videos and I love how fluently you explain things and solve doubts then and there.

solid tools should be a part of the basic version. i cannot dish out $120 to design my backyard shed. cannot cut the t1-11 with push pull or with intersecting faces with models

[@russkellogg8189]

Awesome information! Thanks!

Hello from Australia - Great session. A suggested improvement is to put a time stamp log at key milestone discussion points so users can jump to relevant sections when they want to review a specific part of the process cheers

[@ericsargeant3254]

Good comment. I'll see if that's something we can do.

You have to request a topographical survey!

This was so helpful. Thank you!

Great session, Eric. Sorry I couldn't join the live session, but it was fun to playback on a lazy Sunday morning and see some different approaches to common problems. Thanks SU team!

[@ericsargeant3254]

Thanks @phillip H - That's why we post these afterwards as we know not everyone can make it for the Live Stream!
