Topic: 8 BIM Myths Myth 1 - BIM means using a particular software Myth 2 - BIM requires working in 3D Myth 3 - BIM is only for Architecture, Engineering and Construction projects Myth 4 - BIM is hard Myth 5 - BIM will save you money Myth 6 - BIM needs to be complete or not at all Myth 7 - BIM can be outsourced Myth 8 - BIM is not worth the effort Please come by and learn, question, share and build on what you know about using Vectorworks in your world. We'll break around 7:30PM for a slice of pizza! Late arrivals are welcome - traffic won't stand in our way. Register

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.

Description: Designinglandscapes with sustainability in mind is no longer a matter of preference butone of meeting jurisdictional requirements. Landscape design professionals canexpect Computer Aided Design (CAD) software to make their current designworkflows easier and help meet the new obligations in water efficient sitedesign. Explore how CAD applications can help create beautiful landscapes thatmaximize water efficiency by incorporating the water needs of proposed plants,designing hydrozones for irrigation, and calculating water budgets. Learning Objectives: Learn how to quickly define hydrozones that report water needs and areas. Recognize how pre-built MWELO and EPA worksheets can save documentation time. Understand design strategies used to incorporate non-potable water collection elements. Recognize how water needs data can be appended to reusable plant symbols, which can quickly fulfill MWELO/LEED/SITES-compliant proposed landscape plans. Register
