Does anyone know if there is a way to make the site more of a thin plane with contours? For example if I'm doing a sloped or walkout site, it takes the plane and gives it a thickness, could be 5' could be 10', depending on how much the grade changes.  The problem is in Lumion when we want to add 3D grass to it, it immediately crashes our system.  I know in part this is due to our crappy AMD graphics cards, but we didn't have this crashing issue when we used Revit.  I believe Revit used a thin contoured plane.  This isn't really a softplan issue persay, just trying isolate the issue without having to buy all new graphic cards.

Try exporting to SU and then into the 3D program ....

I don't use softplan site in lumion...we do all contouring directly in lumion

I have found that Softplan creates a far better Sketchup model file vs the Lumion file when I import models into Twinmotion.

Thanks everyone, I'll give the sketchup export a try.

 

Sam we were doing this originally and sometimes still do if we don't need to create hardscape like paved driveways or flagstone patios, unless I'm missing something, which is very possible

I have not explored Lumion's ability to correctly show site plans. Can one enter the boundaries and the topo and get accurate results? I thought it was set up for importing topo/site work, but not creating it for accuracy (more schematic within Lumion itself). Note- I don't have Lumion. The ability to accurately show topography and site improvements might sway me.
