RhinoLands Interface

Display New Features

Viewport and Detail Display

Experience the versatility of Lands objects with the ability to view designs in both 2D and 3D simultaneously. Now, you can visualize your design in 2D on one viewport and in 3D on another.

Plant Display Options

Customize your plant display with per-viewport settings for both 2D and 3D modes. Enjoy the option to view realistic plants on one viewport and conceptual plants on another simultaneously.

Enhanced Planting Plan Features

Terrain

Numerous improvements have been made to terrain objects and operations, with a key focus on achieving sharp edges following actions such as hole creation or cut and fill. Additional features include:

Creating Terrains from Mesh Objects

Rhino users have widely requested this highly anticipated feature. Now, any mesh you possess can be seamlessly converted into RhinoLands terrain, allowing you to utilize terrain tools effectively.

Introducing Inner Boundaries

With this feature, you can add an inner boundary, functioning akin to a hole, but affecting the entire inner side of the terrain. This provides the option to incorporate a more detailed terrain or add water and other objects within the defined area.

Improved Generation Performance

Terrain operations will now be significantly faster due to the implementation of caching operation results during editing.
Other Terrain New Features are:

• Improved reliability in earthmoving operations, including 90-degree holes and cut and fills without relying on mesh boolean operations.
• Option to consolidate large input datasets.

New tools

Create Parametric Ramps

The newly introduced ramp is highly intriguing, intelligent, entirely parametric, and incredibly practical.

Its Key Features Include:

• Composed of one or more flights/landings along a single curve, polyline, or polycurve.
• Option for masonry or floating ramps.
• Three methods for setting the flight slope: Height, Percent, and Rise over run.
• Capability to create automatic landings to connect flights.
• 2D representation featuring arrows and text for each flight, expressing the slope value as Percent, Angle, or a Rise/Run fraction.

Documentation improvements

Listing Additional Objects

In advancing our BIM capabilities, we’re now automating the quantification and listing of additional objects. This includes Walls, Paths, and Fences.

Wall Listing

Now, the program compiles a comprehensive list of all walls, categorized by different types and materials specified during the model design phase.

Path Listing

The software now includes quantification of path objects. This means that any type of pathway or object created using the path tool, such as benches, will be automatically quantified and listed for your convenience.

Fence Listing

Fences of all types that are created, modified, and inserted into the model using the Fence tool will be automatically listed and quantified. Insert the list with a single click into your layout.

Plant Database Enhancements

With each new version, the plant database undergoes growth and refinement. This latest iteration introduces 110 additional realistic plant files along with 52 new species, bringing the total count to 8290 species. Moreover, 13 existing realistic plant files have been upgraded with superior versions.
Among other enhancements is a new command enabling the editing of database files beyond the active database. This facilitates the modification of partial database files for sharing or importing purposes.

Rhino 8 Support

The latest version now fully supports Rhino 8, seamlessly integrating with its features and enhancements. Enjoy the synergy between Rhino 8’s new capabilities and the comprehensive tools offered by Lands Design.
