Terrain Analysis & Grading
Upload a site, read its natural drainage, sculpt grading to balance cut and fill, and watch storm response update in real time. Three modes: Flow (read the land), Rainfall (test a storm), Grading (regrade and see what changes).

Water Flow & Rainfall Lab
Bring in a site — upload a survey, pull real elevation from any location, or try a demo — then read its natural drainage. Switch to rainfall mode to overlay storm depth, infiltration, and flood extent.

Student Tip
Identify Design Risks & Opportunities
As you read the overlays, annotate the following to justify your design moves:
Critical low spots needing drains, grading, or storage
Areas requiring elevation changes or dedicated drainage
Good zones for rain gardens, infiltration beds, or terraces
Problematic entrances, courtyards, or pedestrian routes
Landscape structures leveraging high/dry ridges
