Register for our upcoming 4-part Vectorworks Landmark training course, March 17 - April 7 2022
LANDMARK PART 1
Start your project by familiarising yourself with your file organisation and importing your survey.
Learn how to draw out existing buildings with the Building Shell tools and neighbouring buildings with Massing Model. From your know point learn various setting out methods to mark out survey points for existing features.
OBJECTIVES

Use the Building Shell tools to create a building
Use triangulation to mark our points
Use the Arc tool as a compass
Learn various ways to mark out points from a tape
LANDMARK PART 2
Complete the survey by adding in a simple ground, existing trees, and fences. Once you have your existing survey, perform a shadow analysis to determine the best planting locations in your design. Then it's time for the star of the show - the Vectorworks Plant tool!
OBJECTIVES
Create a simple ground
Add Existing Trees
Use the Railing Fence tool
Use the Heliodon tool for shadow analysis
Placing Plants with the Plant tool modes
Locating the existing Plant libraries
Edit and Create your own Plants

LANDMARK PART 3
Use your favourite plants to create plant mixes with the Landscape area tool and drape them across your site models. Create a paving paradise with Hardscapes for your hard landscaping. Automatically align your hardscapes in complex paving situations. These two tools use components to help with detailing, reporting, and cut and fill calculations.
Find and place Site Furniture from the Vectorworks Libraries as well as learn how to create your own custom objects!
OBJECTIVES
Create a Landscape Area
Define your own plant mix with a Landscape Area style
Create a Hardscape
Define your own paving construction with a Hardscape Style
Report and tag your Landscape Areas and Hardscapes
Locate Objects in the Resource Manager

LANDMARK PART 4
Present your designs with Sheet layers and viewports. Create Section viewports to slice through your model anywhere and Detail viewports to focus on areas of your design. Add mood boards and annotate your designs at any scale. You'll also have somewhere to put all those lovely plant reports for printing out!
