The Site Modelling course is suitable for architects, landscape architects and garden designers.
Sites are rarely flat and you may need to be able to access the impact of a design on a real representation of the terrain. The site modelling tools within Vectorworks Architect and Vectorworks Landmark are extremely powerful and will help you understand how a proposed landscape design of building will sit within the landscape. It will also enable you to gain cut and fill estimates based on your design proposals. :
AGENDA
Learn how to use your own survey data, or data from a surveyor to create a model of the existing terrain
Use the site analysis tools to gain a better understanding of the land before making initial design decisions
Use the Site Modifier and Grade tools to create new flat areas, insert new spot heights and reshape contours
Create roadways, paths, paved areas, retaining walls and accommodate steps
Align design features to the surface of the model, including plants, buildings, and simple roads
Report accurate spot levels on the model
Create sections of the model
Access cut and fill requirements for the whole model or specific areas
