Landscape and traffic software developer 8221 Keysoft Solutions has acquired the rights to LANDCADD software from US-based Eagle Point Software.

Jeremy Ellis, managing director of Keysoft Solutions, said both the KeySCAPE and LANDCADD suite of landscape and civil design software will continue as separate products for time being.

During a three-month plan, LANDCADD customers will continue to receive technical support from Eagle Point, while Keysoft Solutions builds up a sales and support team in Boston.

“The acquisition marks an important step in the development of our Building Information Modelling,” said Ellis. “LANDCADD offers the capability to create 3D ground level surfaces, which users can then build upon with BIM objects, as well as tools to help with the maintenance phase of a project. This extends the reach of our BIM capability to both the early design and facilities management phases of a project, adding a new level to our suite of BIM compliant software.”

LANDCADD for AutoCAD and AutoCAD Civil 3D allow users to produce professional planting, irrigation and site plans for public and commercial developments. It contains an international plant database with detailed descriptions including characteristics, climate, colour, conditions, growth, maintenance and planting sizes.

LANDCADD also includes surface modelling software that enables users to create ground models from site data and edit the surface in order to visualise design proposals.
