Root Watering System

[jpccrodrigues]

Hi guys,

 

I'm getting started with Vectorworks Landmark 2017 and I'm developing an irrigation plan where I want to use a root watering system (http://www.rainbird.com/landscape/products/accessories/RWS.htm).

I'm adapting it as an emitter since I didn't found this accessory in the library.

Did anyone faced this subject?

 

Thanks!!

Yes, I have found that, while the library within VWorks is fairly comprehensive, it is missing some equipment, such as root watering systems. That being said, you can use the RWS bubbler spec (Rainbird 1401? or Hunter PC bubbler) as the basis for creating a new library element. Creating a new element is fairly simple.

 

My large question for issues like this is, when in an office with multiple users, is there a way to create a library that everyone can share? So far in my explorations it seems to only be user based and not workgroup based. I hope that there is a solution for this soon.

Thanks for the help Eric. It is my first attempt with VW, I found the Hunter PC Bubbler and changed its specs to the flow of the root watering system.

Is it possible to place the RWS bubbler (or any kind of outlet) inside the plant component and then connect it all with the irrigation system?

 

Thanks
