Join us for our Dublin breakfast seminar, a morning designed to showcase the capabilities that Vectorworks 2019 brings to give you the flexibility to sketch, draw and model in a fully integrated BIM workflow.&nbsp: This event is for both&nbsp:current users or those wanting to discover how Vectorworks offers a powerful all-in-one solution. See&nbsp:how Vectorworks can support the entire project, from conceptual design, to fully coordinated BIM models, to construction documents. We will also be covering our exciting new visualisation features released in Service Pack 3, such as, our new interactive 360 rendered panoramas, and live-sync rendering connection with Lumion. Attendance is free, but spaces are limited. Tea, coffee and breakfast included! Register

Description: Withthe growing pressures of tight budgets, quick project delivery, and theincreasing need to integrate with BIM workflows, landscape architects need towork smarter, not harder. Join Eric Berg, PLA, ASLA, senior associate atPacific Coast Land Design, and Robert Anderson, PLA, ASLA, principal of ROBERTANDERSON | landscape architect, and Matt Wilkins, PLA, ASLA, landscape architect at RRM Design Group as they discuss how their firms transitioned tosite information modeling workflows from traditional CAD platforms. Attendeeswill explore the challenges associated with this transition through real-world workflowexamples using Vectorworks Landmark, highlighting the interdisciplinary,collaborative benefits of this change. Learning Objectives: Summarize the deciding factors that encourage firms tomove away from general CAD workflows to site information modeling through casestudy projects. Identify timelines, pain points, resources, andefficiencies gained regarding the transition to site information modelingworkflows. Assess site information modeling features used as part ofdaily processes from conceptual drawings and modeling to construction documentsand presentations. Learn how to interact and collaborate with otherdisciplines using 3D models, BIM (IFC) files, and GIS data. Register

VECTORWORKS SPOTLIGHT TRAINING Wednesday, May 29, 2019 at 9:00 AM&nbsp:-&nbsp:Friday, May 31, 2019 at 5:00 PM (EDT) New York, United States COURSE DESCRIPTION This is the best hands-on training option to learn how to utilize tools, menu commands, and drawing organization found in Vectorworks software. The Vectorworks Spotlight Training class explores the workflow of creating a small corporate event. Starting with a blank file, the course covers best practices for organizing a document and creating the venue. It also includes instruction on how to incorporate seating layouts, video screens, speakers, light positions, lighting devices, and focus points, create presentation views, and extract data from objects into worksheets. &nbsp: OVERALL LEARNING GOALS Create a small corporate event while learning about Layer and Class organization, importing DWG files, referencing data from other Vectorworks documents, drawing faster and more accurately, and utilizing the built-in, industry-specific tools and commands. PREREQUISITES Attendees must have completed the Core Concepts Training Class or have an intermediate to advanced knowledge of 3D workflows. They should also understand the listed tools, palettes, and workspace environment in Vectorworks software. This includes drawing organization structures such as layers, classes, sheet layers, and viewports, along with understanding the purpose of the following Vectorworks software palettes: Object Info palette, Basic palette, Attributes palette, Resource Browser, View bar, and the use of the heads-up display (i.e., Floating Data Display bar).

HIDDEN TREASURES IN VECTORWORKS When learning to use Vectorworks, or any software for that matter, we are likely to focus on learning how to use just what we need to complete a project. Over time, we may believe we know how to use the application to its fullest extent but have only scratched the surface of what is possible. In this session, the Vectorworks training team will guide you through finding those gems (tools/commands) that will make your design process more efficient. They will also change your perspective on how and when to use certain Vectorworks features that you may already use regularly. BEST SUITED FOR: All Industries Skill Level: Basic/Intermediate Register
