Landscape StudioNo Fixing the Terrain After Every Change: Shape It Once, and the Whole Site Follows

Your project stops looking like a grey box and reads like a lived-in place, with planting, paths and water. Terrain, zones, plants, paths, walls, water and irrigation all read the same heightfield grid — and the quantities report writes itself.

Left: the job by hand. Right: the same job with the plugin.

Landscape Studio

Every feature, at a glance

What the plugin does for you, drawn rather than listed.

01

Terrain shaped with 12 brushes

Raise, lower, flatten, terrace or erode, with radius and strength on the keyboard; paths, walls and plants all read the same ground.

02

18 zones that know their numbers

Paint lawn, paving and planting beds by brush, polygon or a magic wand that selects by slope; every zone reports its plan area, true surface and slope.

03

151 Turkish plants, scattered by rule

Filter species mapped to 81 cities by sun, water and hardiness; 17 ready mixes fill a zone with plants that keep their spacing and stay off the path.

04

Paths and ramps follow the ground

Paths drape over the terrain with real joint lines; ramps stay within 8% and get their landings, guard curb and handrail on their own.

05

Ponds carved in, sprinklers laid out

Ponds, streams and rain gardens are carved into the terrain and report their volume; irrigation heads lay out head to head, with coverage and piping.

06

Analysis and quantities in one report

Slope, aspect, drainage with flow arrows and cut and fill are analysed; areas, plant counts and volumes leave as an HTML report and a CSV.

    One Ground, One Coherent Site

    Twelve brushes shape one heightfield grid. Paths, walls, water and every plant read that same ground, so nothing is left floating.

  2. 02

    Late Changes Don't Scare You

    Raise the slope late in the job. Ramps hold 8%, walls regrow to the new height, paths re-drape on the ground, and your work stays intact.

  3. 03

    The Report Is Ready, No Spreadsheet

    Counting is not your job: areas, plant counts, cut and fill leave as an HTML or CSV report. Nothing gets retyped into a spreadsheet.

  • Heightfield terrain grid built from a rectangle, contours, a point cloud, an existing surface or 12 templates, with grid / smooth / triangle display, Catmull-Clark SubD smoothing, contour generation, sections, resampling and an existing-vs-proposed terrain twin.
  • 12 sculpting brushes (raise, lower, smooth, flatten, set elevation, grade, ramp, terrace, inflate, sharpen, erosion, noise) with ALT/SHIFT/CTRL modifiers and keyboard control of radius and strength.
  • 18 zone types painted by brush, polygon or magic wand (select by slope or elevation); every zone reports plan area, true surface area, mean slope, elevation range and permeable/impermeable share.
  • 151-species Turkish plant database mapped to 81 cities, filtered by region, water, sun, hardiness, height and type, with single, row, hedge, forest and brush planting - plus import of your own .skp plant components, scaled to target height.
  • Rule-based scattering with density, minimum spacing, scale and rotation variance, slope and elevation range, aspect, zone mask, edge margin and collision checks, 17 ready-made mixes and automatic proxy LOD.
  • Paths, paving, ramps and stairs that follow the ground: width, curb, cross slope, real joint lines, terrain drape or corridor grading with max-slope control, mitred border frames with per-face texture direction that follows turns, ramps capped at 8% (1/12) with automatic landings, guard curb and handrail, and stairs with landings, cheek walls and handrails.
  • Retaining and free-standing walls take their height from the terrain difference: footing, coping profiles, corner posts, post-top and wall lighting, top fence or railing, stepped or terrain-following base, and a 5 cm minimum reveal above ground.
  • Water features - pond, stream, dry creek, rain garden, drainage channel, pool - cut the terrain and report volume, while irrigation heads lay out head-to-head with coverage analysis, piping and an irrigation report.
  • Analysis suite covering slope, elevation, aspect, drainage with flow arrows and sink detection, cut and fill and accessibility; quantities go to an on-screen table, an HTML report and CSV (semicolon-separated, UTF-8 BOM).
  • Self-contained by rule: no other extension required, every feature runs on SketchUp 2021-2026, and 571 automated tests across 24 suites run without SketchUp through a stub API. UI is fully bilingual TR/EN with a built-in manual, 4 color palettes and a light/dark toggle.
