alwaysdesigning Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Is it possible to create a site plan similar to the attached image? I have tried the 'Perspective Full Overview' and tilting as an aerial view but it distorts the landscaping, trees etc. anyone know how to do this?

dshall Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 wow Chief Arhictect can't do this??? Very disappointing. I think CA can do this, that looks like some basic stuff. What program was used to create the site plan that you are showing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_Park Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 It can be done. You need to figure out a way of doing the trees. Using 3D trees is the easiest way. Another would be to obtain some top down tree images and map them to a 3D entitiy as a texture that you can then position where you want. Unfortuntately our billboard images don't have top down views. It would be something nice to add though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, use 3d trees to get the shadows for the trees. I wonder how important the shadows are since the example plan shows no shadows for the buildings. I think CA can show the shadows for the buildings as well as the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_martin Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I do them by adding color boxes to layout sheet and send them to the back so that my lines show through. Not exactly the same, but similar. And I bet that the CAD software that created the layout is not the same software that created that presentation. Looks like Paint Shop to me, or Photo Shop.

alwaysdesigning Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 @Dshall, i am not sure what program was used to create that image.. was looking for a program that would do that but would like to consolidate and use CA somehow. @Doug_Park... yes you are right it is just the trees and landscaping that I would need 3D images and then that look good. @Joey.. yah i was thinking the same thing.. probably some type of photoshop program.. but I see these type of 'site plans' alot.. especially if you Google "site plan" under the image search. Does anyone know where I can get a full landscaping line of 3D images (trees, bushes, grass, and everything in between? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I agree this looks like post work in something like Adobe Creative Suite - a combination of Photoshop and Illustrator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 3D you can't beat Xfrog - if you have the budget. For 2D, you can't beat Photoshop and all the brushes that are available from third party vendors - if you have the budget. If you don't have the budget, The Gimp can replace Photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennw Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Use some 3D trees from the library (they cast shadows, just like your image). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
