Include Retaining Wall Site modifier & Hardscape Object with Architect

[rDesign 325]

The title pretty much describes it - I wish that the 'Retaining Wall Site Modifier' & 'Hardscape Objects' that are included with Landmark would also be included with Architect.

All of my projects are modest single-family homes and typically my projects do not have a Landscape Architect on the design team. Many times I have wanted to use just those two objects, just so that I could more accurately integrate my building into the site model.

It's only fair since Landmark got the Curtain Wall tool (?) and I can't remember any Landscape Architect I have ever worked with needing to use a curtain wall tool. 😉

I like the "complete" only 1 Version Apps more anyway.

Maybe 2 Versions, light and complete ...

Yes - The when modules were introduced, it seemed more like Vectorworks was trying to be just like "other software" with modules rather than addressing some need of the user base.

Submitting request now.

Personally I'd like to see just Fundamentals and Designer as the two options, Renderworks bundled into both, If not just a single package for everyone. But I know there are price point issues and market placement to be concerned with.

Jim, has anything been done about including Retaining Walls in the Architect version of VWs? I'm on 2017 and can find any menu commands.

 

It's crazy I can create a site model and add site modifiers but a retaining wall isn't one of these!

 

Thanks in advance.

This wishlist request is partially fulfilled in Vw2020: The Help File says that ‘Hardscape’ objects are now available in Architect (but ‘Retaining Wall’ Site Modifiers are still only available in Landmark / Designer).

 

Having ’Hardscapes’ in Architect is a welcome addition, and coupled with the new Hardscape align mode, hopefully this will make warping driveways easier to model accurately in 3D. Thank you!
