Description

Vectorworks Landmark offers a suite of tools and commands created to aid the design and development of projects using object-based parametric modelling processes. This course walks the student through the tools and commands needed to create a concept model and then develop it. Leading to a more detailed design oriented toward a data-rich environment and the publication of reports and construction documentation.
 
While the Vectorworks Landmark tools can add efficiencies to your workflows, they also are a crucial step in the move to BIM. The student will leave this course with an in-depth knowledge of the applicable Vectorworks Landmark tools and commands. And have brief exercises to get them started toward effective design practices. After completing this class, all attendees will be registered to take the Vectorworks Landmark Professional Certification exam.
