![]() The end result is often an oversimplified top surface and 2D plan, not an ideal outcome. For every project, BIM standards require that complex geometry mirror the structure of indoor specifications. The highly mathematical approach and non-intuitive interface reduce fluidity and creativity. Many use Autodesk with a Focus software plugin which means modeling 3D terrain in a 2D or 3D parallel projected wireframe view. It seems to be more difficult to tailor software for landscape professionals as designs don’t run orthogonally and are never really flat. An engineer’s work is mostly rule-based with standardized materials. It is relatively straightforward to tailor a program for architects as, save for a handful of pioneering organic designers, many conform to the use of solids, with square corners and vertical/horizontal planes. Collaboration between Rambøll and DRMA architects. SketchUp city model of Hønefoss viewed in Lumion. That all changed when working on a complicated housing project with a 26-meter elevation span that I couldn’t really develop in Civil 3D without a more intuitive way to view the 3D space. Until about five years ago, I was doing all my terrain modeling in Civil 3D and was struggling too. Some aren’t using tools like Sketchup and struggle with more rigid terrain modeling methods. ![]() To date, this is how I believe the majority of my colleagues work on a daily basis. Twelve years ago, during my studies, I was taught to develop my project first in Civil 3D. We also connect with other colleagues in international offices to resolve challenges and explore workflows. Representatives from all landscape architecture teams in Norway meet regularly to discuss recent developments and new approaches within 3D and BIM. My specialist team extends to two other locations, Fredrikstad and Oslo but we are closely connected and regularly share knowledge and resources. ![]() This multidisciplinary mix is typical of most Ramboll offices. In addition to the eleven-person landscape design team, the office houses a mix of engineers and specialists, such as architects, city planners, road and traffic planners, building and water engineers amongst many others. I’ve been with Ramboll’s landscape architecture team for nearly two years working out of Drammen, our third-largest office in Norway. How do you fit within Ramboll’s global team?
