Recognize how water needs data can be included in your plant specification workflows, which can quickly fulfill your LEED/SITES-compliant proposed landscape plan.
Learn how technology assists in water budgeting, from defining hydrozones to documenting compliance with a water allowance.
Explore integrations with GIS and other site inventorying data, which help inform pre- and post-development analysis when planning for better rainwater management.
Consider how smart 2D/3D objects in design technology can help realize proposed water management features like green roofs, rain gardens, and bioswales.
Changing to new software can be intimidating, but the right support and advice can help ease onboarding team members during the transition. This webinar hosted by Nick Fullmer, design-build business owner and BIM implementation and use expert, will share
tips and strategies for adopting a smarter, data-driven workflow for your landscape architecture or design practice.
The smoother the transition to BIM, the sooner your firm can design like never before.

Hardscape objects in any configuration can now excavate the site model surface and calculate accurate cut and fill volumes. There is also a new configuration mode that allows you to “drape” hardscape objects to automatically conform to the surface of a site model, giving you the flexibility to accommodate different types of hardscape installations.

An interdisciplinary concept founded on landscape architecture, urban design, and ecological sciences, Biourbanism is a method that assists mayors, city leaders, and city planners to create healthier, more resilient cities. Biourbanism is centred around
five urban and five bio systems that analyse city health: economy, energy, mobility, structure, technology, water, food, waste, landscape, and humanity.
Put simply, the research-led philosophy asserts that cities must be considered a form
of nature in response to global climate challenges.
Join Adrian McGregor, chief design officer of McGregor Coxall, professor, and author, for a discussion on Biourbanism and realistic roadmaps for cities and communities to achieving resilience.

Learn how to directly import, export, and reference DWG files, which includes those saved from AutoCAD Civil 3D.
Understand how to collaborate with consultants using various versions of AutoCAD.
Explore how to exchange 2D and 3D DWG files and/or models.
Learn how to import previously created DWG format file drawings for use in Vectorworks.
As a landscape architect or designer, you can find efficiencies in making use of “background” files from civil and survey engineers. You can apply their proposed work without recreating the base plan. And, with advancements in BIM software, working in
different applications is easier than ever before with better file management and staying consistent with origin, georeferencing, and positioning.
Join Tony Kostreski, PLA and senior landscape product specialist, to learn the benefits of importing
or referencing files and how imported geometry and data can be transformed into smart hybrid objects. All of the methods discussed can provide essential context in your BIM for landscape workflows.
