# Land Kit
www.landkit.design
Land Kit components and templates simplify parametric landscape design. Not only do they save time with design, drafting, and modeling processes, but they also provide a platform for creating powerful custom workflows for your team.

Land Kit includes five core component libraries:
## Areas
Achieve seamless site layout integration with Universal Areas, streamlining design workflows that combine topography, planting, and paving. Project Areas to topography as meshes, surfaces, or slabs. Quickly export section cuts, line work, hatches. And all Areas can even have holes.

## Topography
Land Kit will change topography design forever. By easily creating and modifying key contours, spots, surfaces, and breaklines, you can avoid the sticky problem of relying solely on elevated contours to create and revise surface models. Topographic features like walls, curbs, paths, and stairs help when you have to get more specific. Additional Topo mods let you smooth, push, pull, and grade parametrically.

## Analysis+Performance
Gain comprehensive insights into your site with analysis layers tailored to various environments. Calculate water runoff, visualize heat flux, and assess the embodied carbon footprint of your site. Benefit from expanded layer analysis to better understand environmental impacts, suitability, and optimize site performance while you design.

## Planting
Enhance your planting design with Land Kit's powerful placement engine. Define environments, areas, plants, constraints, and other rules to streamline site-specific planting design. Manage complex layouts and visualize your planting plans based on sun/shade, soil type, hydrology, and more. Export your designs to AutoCAD and Revit, or render them using Rhino, Lumion, D5, Twinmotion, or Enscape for a comprehensive and visually stunning output.

## Paving
Simplify the process of designing complex custom paving with Land Kit's parametric paving toolset. Define areas, patterns, and color rules to harmonize the design, drafting, and modeling of your paving projects. Easily produce CAD documentation or renderings, and take advantage of the new rationalization tools for easier construction documentation.

### Things to note:
