Description

Vectorworks Landmark offers a suite of tools and commands designed to aid the design and development of projects using object-based parametric modeling. This class will walk students through the tools and commands needed to create a concept model and a simplified 3D schematic. Students will then refine and expand that model into a more detailed, data‑rich design, culminating in the production of reports and construction documentation.

Through interactive exercises, students will gain in-depth knowledge of the applicable Vectorworks Landmark tools and commands and begin to develop effective design practices.

Learning Objectives

  •  Learn how to import survey data into Vectorworks Landmark and create a Site Model.
  • Create and understand sectional views of the site model to aid in design and documentation.
  • Understand the use of plants in Vectorworks Landmark and learn to create and customize plant symbols.
  • Design and customize Landscape Areas for efficient representation of plantings.
  • Learn to create and use worksheets for data organization, calculations, and efficient project management.
  • Document and present your project on sheet layers.

Prerequisites

  • Attendees should have general computer skills and a good grasp of fundamental drafting concepts, including drawing plans, elevations, document scale, and drawing units.
  • Completing the Vectorworks Core Concepts class or the Vectorworks Core Associate Certification course will help you prepare for this class.
