LTM® makes it easy for landscape architects to work Autodesk® Revit®. LTM® includes 40+ tools to edit floors e.g. Dynamic Annotation (can be converted into 3D vertexes), New import & Export.

General Usage Instructions

The LTM® plug-in contains:

Functions to modify floors and toposolids (from version 2024)

  • Create Sub Element by typing slope –a point out the start and endpoint.
  • Create Sub Element by typing slope – point out the start and endpoint with the endpoint on a different floor/Toposolid
  • Match Sub Element by aligning Sub Elements (with or without offset) in two floors(toposolids sharing edges.
  • Adjust Sub Elements – adjust all sub-elements in a selected area.
  • Match Floor/Toposolid to element
  • Match Point at Floor/Toposolid to element
  • Match curbs to element
  • Align surfaces
  • Convert Floors to toposolids, (Single object or all types in the model)
  • Sub Elements in Real Level – set the sub-elements in reel levels and not relative to the floor/Topsolid level.
  • InFill floor – Create/update a floor inside an opening on another floor/Toposolid.
  • Unify Slope – extending a slope between two points and a third point.
  • Match Floor to Grading – adjust the floor to match the corners of a grating.– Find Coordinate – creating a cross with coordinates at a specific coordinate.
  • Create Toposolids from annotations
  • Spot Elevation – creating Spot elevation on selected floors/toposolids.
  • Slope Texts – creating slope texts on selected floors/toposolids

Functions to create Filled Regions attached to floors:

  • Create a Filled Region – create a filled region with the same shape as the floor.
  • Clone Filled Region – clone filled regions from another view and preserve the connection to the floor.
  • Update Filled Regions – if the shape of the floor is changed all filled regions will adjust to the new shape.
  • Update by Selection – the selected filled region is updated.

Calculations:

  • Cut/Fill SubSoil - calculate cut/fill volume between floors and toposurface.
  • Surface soil balance, incl max cut/fill

Toposurfaces:

  • Import Model Lines - import model lines from DWG, in the right level and line style.
  • Change style & elevation -  match line style and elevation.
  • Offset Lines – create contour lines between 2 selected lines.
  • Elevation texts – place texts on the selected contour lines showing the Z Value.
  • Elevation info – showing the Z Value or placing a text on the selected line.
  • Create toposurface – Create toposurface on selected model lines.
  • Toposurface to Floor – create a floor from the information in a Toposurface.-Building on Toposurfaces - Move buildings to the right level on the toposurface.

Annotations:

  • Sketch annotations will update automatically.
  • Sketch New Annotation - Create new Sketch Spot elevation, using the slope in the LTM Menu
  • Sketch Interpolation - Create new Sketch Spot elevation, using interpolation between two Sketch elevations
  • Sketch Slope – Insert text showing the slope between two Sketch elevations
  • Update Sketch Slope – Update text showing the slope between two Sketch elevations
  • Adjust sketch annotations
  • Place annotation 3D, automatically get the elevation from another object.
  • Sketch Annotation to floor - Convert Sketch annotations to a vertex in floors or Toposurfaces.
  • Commandbar for easier use of the sketch annotation commands. 

Analyse:

  • Get colors to show the diffent slopes on objects
  • Get colors to show if the min/max is not complied
  • Get colors to show the cut/fill on the surface data

Tools:

  • Objects on Lines – Insert Families along with a series of lines.
  • Convert splines to arcs.

 

The LTM® plug-in is a powerful tool for anyone working with the landscape in Revit, allowing the user to unleash the full potential of Revit when it comes to landscape architecture.

Commands

Installation/Uninstallation

The installer that ran when you downloaded this app/plug-in from Autodesk App Store will start installing the app/plug-in. OR, simply double-click the downloaded installer to install the app/plugin.

To uninstall this plug-in, exit the Autodesk product if you are currently running it, simply rerun the installer, and select the "Uninstall" button. OR, click Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features (Windows 10/11) and uninstall as you would any other application from your system.

Additional Information

Known Issues

The functions will only work on Floors.

Floors and openings must only be created in one closed loop.

Floors with complex geometric forms can cause LTM not to compute.

Some Topographies with complex forms can make it impossible to create the floor or edit the floor boundaries. Alternatively, these can be divided using Split Surface to avoid very large complex floors.

Some Openings with complex forms or too many edges can make it impossible to create InFill floors.

The DWG file used in the function Import Model must NOT be scaled inside Revit
