Irrigation design for efficiency, analysis, and quantity takeoffs are standard requirements in today’s world of landscape design. The powerful tools within Vectorworks Landmark allow you to place outlets while seeing product-specified performance. Connect piping in your design that’ll calculate friction loss and hydraulic pressure, while automatically sizing the lateral and mainline piping. And, you can place drip tubing while generating true GPH required per zone. Once designed, you can analyze, document, and calculate the irrigation network, creating a robust, water-efficient irrigation design.

In this presentation, site design professionals will find time-saving features with the Hardscape and Data Tag tools. See how Hardscape objects, configured as slabs in 3D, can easily specify material layers and their thicknesses as components — enabling
the creation of more accurate custom and pre-built worksheets. Attendees will also explore customizable methods of labeling and documentation made possible with Data Tags, a time-saving tool that can be used in your design and viewport.

Learn how hardscape material layers are quickly specified and represented with the help of custom and pre-made slab styles.
Discover efficiencies gained by harvesting data, like thickness, area, and volume from the hardscape components and outputting estimates into pre-formatted and custom reports.
Explore methods for tagging and displaying data using pre-made and custom data tags that label the intelligent objects and symbols in models and viewports.
Consider the time saved in automated tagging with single and multiple tags and other data tag modes, which simplify the process of managing displayed data in your documents.
MAXIMIZING LANDSCAPE DESIGN-BUILD EFFICIENCY WITH TECHNOLOGY
During the Great Recession, landscape architect and owner of a mid-size design-build company, Joe Hanauer decided to “tech up.” His goal then was to be a one-person design-build office. Now, with labor markets tight, using technology to create efficiencies
for installation crews is increasingly important. With hardware including a tablet, computer, GPS Surveyor, altimeter level and camera, combined with software for note taking, estimating, and designing this session will reveal how they are all essential
to creating an efficient workflow from first call to last shovel. This session will also show how this “almost-paper-free” technology workflow can be used to run a one-person office and scaled to work with larger firms, too.

Understand how the integration of software and apps (CAD, note taking, estimating, e-books, etc.) can be used to create a smooth and streamlined process.
Realize how design software can be used not only to sell the project to customers but to aid in design, estimating and installation processes.
INTEGRATING DESIGN TECHNOLOGY FOR WATER EFFICIENT LANDSCAPES
Designing landscapes with sustainability in mind is no longer a matter of preference, but one of meeting jurisdictional requirements. Site designers are increasingly leaning on design software and online resources to make their current design workflows
easier, and also to help meet the new obligations in water-efficient site design. By incorporating the water needs of proposed plants, designing hydrozones for irrigation and calculating water budgets, design applications help you to plan for beautiful
landscapes that maximize water efficiency.

Learn how to quickly define hydrozones that report water needs and areas.
Recognize how documentation time is saved with pre-built MWELO and EPA worksheets that tabulate a project’s Landscape Water Requirement (LWR) / Estimated Total Water Use (ETWU) and compare to its Landscape Water Allowance (LWA) / Maximum Applied Water Allowance (MAWA).
Understand design strategies used to incorporate non-potable water collection elements.
Recognize how water needs data can be appended to reusable plant symbols,which can quickly fulfill your LEED/SITES/MWELO compliant proposed landscape plan
The process for importing various tree survey types is simpler with location parameters for geographical and cartesian coordinates built in with the newly added GIS support for tree surveys. You’ll benefit from the new geospatial import methods when documenting existing vegetation for biodiversity and biomass considerations, and import pertinent survey area types like mass plantings, meadows and more.

Visualizations are an integral facet of landscape design. Everyone has a different approach, from continuing to embrace the more time-intensive hand-drawn methods, while others utilize CAD paired with 3D modeling and image-editing technology. Although
each of these are successful to some degree - revisions are inevitable, and the time it takes to reconstruct these illustrations in multiple software’s can be greatly reduced by fine-tuning the design in a single application.
Join us to witness the power and efficiencies gained by 3D modeling in landscape-specific BIM software and gain an understanding of how to build various features found on a proposed site while using a combination of site planning tools and commonly used
3D modeling processes. Communication is essential for the success of any project, and the mention of “revisions” shouldn’t cause fear of going over budget.

Visualizations are a key component of landscape design and have been from day one. Professionals approach this process differently, and some continue to embrace the more time-intensive hand-drawn methods, while others utilize CAD, 3D modeling,
and image-editing technology. Although each of these are successful to some degree, revisions are inevitable, and the time it takes to reconstruct these illustrations in multiple platforms could be greatly reduced by fine-tuning the design
