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.

REVIT INTEROPERABILITY WITH VECTORWORKS LANDMARK: A GUIDE
This guide will focus on file exchanges Vectorworks Landmark (or Design Suite) design professionals have with collaborators using Autodesk’s Revit® proprietary format (RVT) and the Revit family file format (RFA). With its 2017 version, Vectorworks introduced RVT and RFA import capabilities, and with version 2020 RVT export was introduced, meeting the requests of many users being required to receive and share using these formats. Since these releases, and with the help of the Open Design Alliance (ODA) libraries, these exchanges have continued to see enhancements, making the user collaboration experience easier.

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.
