The Other Utilities category contains a collection of specialist tools that support a variety of workflows within CS ArtisanRV. While these commands do not belong to a specific feature area such as planting, terrain modelling, or site furniture, they provide valuable functionality that can improve productivity, streamline project coordination, and assist with model management and documentation.
Many of these tools have been developed in response to practical challenges encountered by landscape professionals working within Revit and multidisciplinary BIM environments. They address common tasks that would otherwise require multiple manual operations, helping users work more efficiently while maintaining model accuracy and consistency.
The utilities included in this section range from selection and annotation tools through to model analysis, floor management, data import, and interoperability functions. Whether you need to identify model elements along a defined path, place spot elevations quickly, import schedule data, analyse shadow impacts, manipulate floors, or prepare models for data exchange, these tools provide focused solutions to specific project requirements.
