Dear Land F/X team & experts,
In our office , we are doing now the planting plans in Revit and still doing the irrigation plans in Cad.
I would like to ask if anyone went through this experience as am not not what am expecting from this scenario and what to care about while exporting from Revit to cad or what to be careful from.
the first thing I noticed is that I can't read the plantation and I need to go to the planting schedule every little time or need to ask to get the planting quantities confirmed by the landscape architect.
Any other way that can make my life easier in this situation?
Appreciate your valuable experiences and inputs.
Thanks In Advance,
Nibal

Nibal,
Is your Landscape Architect using Planting F/X for Revit? If so, they can share the Revit RVT file and their project and preference set data with you and you can use the 3D connection to bring the accurate planting design into AutoCAD with data that you can connect to your irrigation design. Or if they also use AutoCAD, they could quickly prep up an accurate DWG planting file for you the same way.
If they don't use Planting F/X, I'd suggest with whatever DWG they give you, recreate the planting data yourself. Add the species to the plant manager and use mimic to add data to the blocks. In AutoCAD 2026 you can use BSEARCH to recreate the plant symbols as blocks for easy mimicking if the DWG file they sent you comes exploded.
