Hi all,
Lands Design 6.2 is available for download !

This update brings significant enhancements to the Terrain object, including new features and improvements based on user feedback. It also includes IFC 4 support, along with other improvements and bug fixes.

Here is the complete what’s new list:

Terrain Object

  • Path

    • Enhanced slope control with multiple methods:
      • Curve elevation
      • Terrain elevation
      • Curve start-end elevation
      • Start-end terrain elevation
      • Constant grade
      • Per-segment grade
    • New option to specify a maximum grade
    • Added justification option for improved alignment

  • Earthmoving

    • You can now switch between cut only, fill only, or cut & fill modes for any operation at any moment
    • Cut and fill angles can now be defined separately
    • Angles can be specified in degrees, as a percentage, or using a rise-over-run ratio
    • Added an option to limit the extent of cut and fill operations

  • Elevation Data

    • Added sampling options for finer control over curve-to-point conversion for triangulation:
      • Specify maximum sample interval
      • Specify maximum deviation
    • Added the ability to extract the resulting triangulation mesh

  • Improved Input Data Editing

    • Input Data objects are now accessible through the Edit Panel selection tree as child elements of the Terrain object, each with its own property tabs
    • The Input Data tab has been removed from the Terrain object
    • You can now assign names to all types of input data (elevation data, earthmovings, boundaries, divisions, etc.)
    • Added an option to temporarily disable any input data for later use
    • Added the ability to extract the curve from any single input data

  • Base box

    • New option to show/hide the bottom cap

Earth Importer

  • Roads are now joined and trimmed automatically

Animation

  • Animations are now saved as MP4 files encoded with H264 standard

IFC Support

  • Added support for IFC 4

Other Improvements

  • It is now possible to add elevation data to a Terrain imported from Earth or DEM files
  • Ramp and Path objects are now taken into account when elevating to terrain
  • You can now edit the names of objects tagged as terrain or plant
  • Lands now remembers the Plant Label properties when inserting multiple labels
  • Break lines can now be inserted in the Plant Database fields
  • The units in the Terrain List are now updated when the model units change

Error Fixes

  • Slope object was showing the rise-over-length percentage rather than the rise-over-run
  • Shrub, Groundcover and Topiary 2D display could fail to fill the hatch
  • Default species initials were including the " x " part of hybrid species scientific name
  • Level Mark object displayed two negative signs for negative level values
  • Superhatch object wasn’t working properly
  • Sidebar could not appear in some cases when using the RhinoLands user interface

Notes

  • Supported Rhino versions
    • Rhino 8 SR11 or later, and
    • Rhino 7 SR33 or later
  • Supported AutoCAD versions
    • AutoCAD 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021

Enjoy it!

Hi, I’ve updated to 6.2 and now my project’s terrains are totally wrong (with jumps and displacements everywhere). Is there an option to download 6.1 again so I can fix it? Thanks
This is how the terrain is now

This was the before on 6.1 C1-.pdf (9.9 MB)

Hi Daniel, can you send us (lands@asuni.com) the original file saved with version 6.1?
I’d like to figure out why it changes in version 6.2

Thanks Daniel for sharing your file with us.
We have already uploaded a new update (version 6.2.2) that fixes this issue.
