For the Designer

You create in Site Planner — building and iterating the design.

Where to focus

Focus on the drawing, building, and output sections.

Section 01

What Site Planner is

Site Planner is a full site-planning tool: earthwork, retaining walls, detention basins, parking, and a yield-and-cost model — with a live ordinance check and a link to Facade Studio.

Section 02

Laying out a site

  1. Place the building footprints, drives and parking.
  2. Add grading — earthwork, retaining walls, and detention basins.
  3. Watch the yield and parking counts update as you move things.
Section 03

Yield, cost & ordinance

The tool keeps a running yield and cost model as you plan, so trade-offs are visible immediately. A live ordinance check flags where a layout runs against the rules — setbacks, parking ratios, coverage — before you commit.

Section 04

Facade Studio integration

Site Planner links to Facade Studio so massing and facade studies overlay onto the site — the two tools round-trip so the building you're styling matches the site you're planning.

Section 05

Exports

What you produce

A planned site with yield and cost, an ordinance read, and a PowerPoint round-trip export for review decks.
