I'm a landscape architect in Norway and in working with government-projects the most common rule is that we need to deliver our data in an open format. Non-proprietary. In most cases it is the IFC-format that is being used, but in some projects we need to deliver our terrain model and 3D-data in a LandXML-format. Also source data from a survey can be provided as LandXML that we need to import. To my knowledge this is most common in projects within transportation, such as road and rail planning.
We can do this in Civil 3D, but it would be much easier of course, if we could do this directly in Vectorworks, and not being dependent of Civil 3D to do the job. And also possibly loosing data from Vectorworks to DWG before going to Civil 3D.
