Is tree survey data compatible with ArtisanRV?

 

Short Answer

Yes. CS ArtisanRV can import existing tree survey data and automatically convert it into intelligent BIM content within a Revit model. Using the Existing Tree Import Survey tool, landscape professionals can create existing tree objects containing standard arboricultural survey information, enabling existing trees to be visualised, scheduled, analysed, and managed throughout the design process.

For best results, tree survey data should be supplied in a supported digital format containing the relevant survey attributes, allowing ArtisanRV to generate existing tree content with associated survey information, Root Protection Areas (RPAs), and other tree-related data.

Details

Transform Existing Tree survey information into intelligent BIM content using the Existing Tree Import Survey tool.

 

Can I place existing trees into a Revit model when I do not have access to detailed Tree Survey data?

Do I have to have tree survey information?
Can I place existing trees in Revit without formal survey data?
 

Short Answer

Yes. Detailed tree survey data is not required to create Existing Tree content in CS ArtisanRV. If formal survey information is unavailable, individual existing trees can be added manually using the Manual Placement tool, allowing users to represent existing site conditions and develop landscape proposals from the earliest project stages.

Manually placed existing trees can still be positioned, visualised, tagged, scheduled, and managed within the Revit model, with additional survey information added later if it becomes available.

Details

Use the Manual Placement tool to place individual existing trees into a model.

 

Can I create Root Balls for Existing Trees in my model and how can I show Root Protection Areas (RPAs)?

Are RPAs generated?
How are root balls created in ArtisanRV?
Are root balls for existing trees generated automatically?

Short Answer

Yes. CS ArtisanRV can automatically create Root Balls and Root Protection Areas (RPAs) for Existing Trees in the model. Root Balls can be generated for selected trees or all existing trees, while RPAs are calculated automatically from tree survey information and can be displayed or hidden as required.

This enables landscape professionals to quickly assess potential conflicts between existing trees and proposed development, helping to support design coordination and arboricultural considerations.

Details

Root balls for existing trees are created automatically for all or select trees in the model using the Existing Root Ball tool. Root Protection Areas (RPAs) are created automatically based on the stem diameter of the existing tree and can be shown or hidden as required.

 

Am I able to create a schedule of Existing Trees in my model?

Related Questions

Is a schedule available for existing trees in ArtisanRV?
How do a create a schedule in Revit for existing trees?
Is existing tree information immediately available to view in a schedule?

 

Short Answer

Yes. CS ArtisanRV includes a preconfigured Existing Tree Schedule that displays survey information for all existing trees within the model. Simply run Import Planting Schedules to load the schedule into your project. The schedule is automatically configured to work with ArtisanRV content, making it easy to review and manage existing tree data directly within Revit.

 

Details

A default Existing Tree Schedule is available in CS ArtisanRV, displaying all associated existing tree survey information. Run Import Planting Schedules to load the Existing Trees Schedule. CS ArtisanRV Schedules are preconfigured Revit schedules filtered for ArtisanRV conent.

Is there an easy way to view and manage existing tree information in ArtisanRV?

 

Short Answer

Yes. CS ArtisanRV provides an Existing Tree Object Browser that gives a centralised view of all existing tree data within the model. It allows users to quickly locate, review and zoom to specific tree instances, while the Show Items tool can generate a visual 3D display of selected trees and help identify specimens for retention or removal.

 

Details

The Existing Tree Object Browser provides a centralised tool to view all Existing Tree content and to provide a quick way to identify and zoom to specific Existing Tree instances in the current Revit model. The Show Items tool provides an easy way to generate a visual 3D display of selected Existing Tree instances, and also enables users to quickly filter specimens for removal.
