3D Workflows - Elevating Design With 3D Scanning

A free, recorded webinar (originally August 19, 2025) featuring Eric Arneson of Topophyla and Polycam explores integrating 3D site scans (LiDAR/photogrammetry) into landscape architecture. It covers using drone data and phone scans to streamline workflows for SketchUp, Rhino, and CAD, reducing repeat site visits. Key Takeaways from the Webinar: • Workflow Integration: Demonstrates bringing Polycam, DJI Terra, and other data into CAD, SketchUp, and Rhino for design and analysis. • Site-Sensitive Design: Focuses on capturing accurate topography and vegetation for ecological, context-sensitive projects. • Efficiency Gains: Highlights how 3D captures, including drone data, reduce the need for multiple site visits and improve remote collaboration. • Practical Application: Features case studies demonstrating the use of 3D scanning in real-world landscape architecture projects. The webinar emphasizes transforming raw scans into usable design assets for landscape architects.
