1. I saw a great presentation by Eric Gilbey (Landscape Architect Industry Specialist at Vectorworks) where he demonstrated great techniques for creating berms and swales. Let me know if you'd be interested in seeing this. He has graciously volunteered to do it by Skype at one of our meetings. Maybe this Spring?
2. I found a really cool VW plug in that acts like a clipboard manager. Really great for moving objects from a design layer to a SLVP annotation!
