Vectorworks, Inc Employee Darick@Vectorworks Posted October 18, 2007 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 18, 2007 I'm researching future development areas for Vectorworks Landmark. If you have suggestions on how to improve Landmark please click on the following link and fill out the survey. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=Occa7jJJGghYaYwW9MKnhQ_3d_3d Thanks, Darick Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Darick, my suggestion is a tool that allows you to apply planting to large areas, assign a slope to the area and calculate percentage mix of planting. If anyone has seen my user group notes on worksheets they will understand what I mean. Quote Link to comment
Petri Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 "10. Plant Database ? provide additional plant data and improve the interaction between VectorWorks and the plant database." Questions like this do not encourage one to reply. I don't want any more North American (or even South American) plants, but would want the database we were promised. Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Have to agree with Petri. Looking beyond American borders would be high on our list. Quote Link to comment
Petri Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 There are U.K. plants in the system already. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Tamsin Slatter Posted October 20, 2007 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 20, 2007 There are indeed UK Plants. For help on how to get the UK plant data on the system, email me. Quote Link to comment

Dexie Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Vehicle tracking/ turning circles would be good. I use Landmark for Urban Design projects such as residential layouts. Testing these layouts (which may incorporate de-engineered roads) as to whether they work in terms of vehicle movement would be a real benefit. AutoCAD has an expensive bolt but there isn't one available for Vectorworks as far as I know. Quote Link to comment
Petri Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Contact your reseller and ask them to contact the Finnish VW-distributor Ultirender for this. A two-axle vehicle only, though: articulated vehicles are another kettle of fish. Also, circular turning only, no clotoids. Quote Link to comment
dhbrown Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Darick, thank you for asking! It would be wonderful if someone could link the two/three "databases" of plants; the Plant Reference Database, Object Info, and the Resource Browser plants (if that's what I'd call them) so that there was some consistency in the verbage, at least. On one there is an ID, the other has a CODE, neither of them work in the other. On one it's called "Name", on the other it's called "Plantlist Name". Plantlist Name is not the same as Plantlist Category, yet when you look at one, you get one label for it, and it's different in the other. The whole Plants part of this software is what I really wanted to use in-depth, yet it is so cumbersome to use, and almost impossible to try to figure out. I'm convinced that whoever designed the Plant Database portion, never consulted with the one who worked with the Res Brow or the Obj Info portions, nor proofed it after the design, with anyone who was going to use it.

Petri Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Amen. Especially as comes to the user. The implied & mandatory workflow is simply hopeless & useless. Quote Link to comment
