Topography Components
The evolution of grading. Push, pull, and automate topographic features. Save contours for later.
3D Grading
Create Topo from a wide selection of inputs like spots, breaklines, walls, curbs, stairs, paths, as well as contours. Dynamically adjust simple geometries and parameters watch your site update in realtime.
Earth Systems Go.
Topo-specific Features
Quickly create walls, curbs, stairs, and paths to fold your topo. Input a bucket full of front and back curves for a wall and a bucket full of spots and watch all of your walls come to life. Do the same with curbs.
Features help shape the topography.
Mods
Modify topography with surgical precision. Patch proposed interventions into existing, smooth select areas, push and pull, and grade at set slopes from 3D elements. Hard edges and soft edges working in perfect harmony.
Parametrically add swales and other site typologies.
Use the Pro Grade Topo Mod to grade from 3D geometry and features. Pair this with other topo mods like Sculpt, Smooth, and Patch.
Visit the Topo Component Reference for all free and pro components.
