WORKFLOWS – SITE BASE THROUGH FINAL DESIGN (2-day)
Course Information
Audience: Landscape Architects, Landscape Designers, Architects, and Drafters
Date: 06/04/24 - 06/05/24
Time: 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM PDT
Cost: $900 - $720 Early Discount!
Location: Aloft San Francisco Airport, 401 East Millbrae Avenue, Millbrae, CA, 94030
Description
All great designs start with quality base files. This course will cover many advanced options for generating and importing site information from imagery to PDFs, DWGs, GIS data, and so much more. From the start, learn to utilize these methods in an effective manner to achieve a highly productive workflow for base file setup.
Next, you will explore design progression, from concept through schematic design. The progression of a design can sometimes be confusing. We will demystify the process while showing best practices for your workflow. We will start with a concept drawing while adding found data and mining any data necessary for context. From there, we will discuss using many of Vectorworks Landmark's advanced tools to move efficiently to the schematic phase, including renders, while covering rapid design alterations. We will show how to effectively leverage the advanced components of Vectorworks to make this painless and profitable for you and your firm.
From design development changes and data, we will then mine that information to create a final design set for presentation. This prepares the file for the construction documentation phase.
Note: While this class is designed for professionals in the Landscape industry, many of the concepts covered in this course will be applicable to Architects and drafters in other industries.
Learning Objectives
Manage imported DWG and PDF files through import settings, visibility controls, and other attribute preferences to improve file exchanges with project collaborators. Learn the GIS tools for site and design geolocation. Explore Vectorworks’ suite of industry design tools at different stages of the design process to understand parametric design techniques. Learn various presentation methods for efficient client interactions.
Prerequisites
We highly recommend the completion of the Vectorworks Core Concepts Class or the on-demand Vectorworks Core Associate Certification -----------------------------------------------------------
