Vectorworks’ Geographic Information System (GIS) features enable the geolocation of your projects, whereby geolocation aligns the file's internal origin with the project's actual location on the Earth. During the webinar, you will learn how to locate your virtual projects, and access to public available GIS data in order to transform your site analysis, landscape and urban design workflows.

Vectorworks’ GIS tool set provides you with the ability to virtually locate your projects using real-world coordinates. These tools, in conjunction with publicly available GIS data, facilitate higher-quality analysis and outcomes for urban, concept, and pre-design workflows.

Join Vectorworks to explore digital workflows in a design process, tailored to the needs of residential landscape projects. Starting with a model of the existing site and a 2D concept plan, we will look at the effective ways to grade the site model surface and to work with the site model contours. Using digital tools, we will create a 3D model of the proposed landscapes for both the front and rear garden. Learn tips and tricks for free-form modelling and its potential to craft sculptures for residential sites. Open for all levels, the session will focus on some of the new features and their benefits, helping you to communicate your design proposals with clients and contractors.

Though 3D-modeled landscapes are becoming more common in design workflows, many still hesitate to involve valuable techniques in all areas of their design workflow.

A key benefit to incorporating 3D and BIM in your landscape design, beyond selling, is analysis. In this session, you'll learn how to leverage the power of solar, terrain, building, and landscape feature modeling to better analyze site conditions, advise clients, and validate design choices. 

By integrating 3D with 2D design workflows, there's less disruption in getting to a sellable, better-performing solution for your clients.

Join Vectorworks on creative journey of crafting customised symbols, materials and other resources that can help you to create bespoke landscape plans. In this session, we will share some of the tips and tricks to generate your own resources in 2D and 3D. Using workgroup libraries, we will explore ways to save, edit and share content with your colleagues and project co-workers. Stay on track with updating your firm’s libraries while using customised content and producing plans that meet the industry standard. Suitable for all levels, we will explore some of the new features that can help you to optimise the graphics of your landscape plans and specifications.

The design and construction of built environments often require complex inputs across numerous stakeholders and disciplines. Shifts in scale require the translation of site analysis, design drivers, and principles. Advanced geospatial analysis tools and 3D geospatial data have the potential to facilitate design outcomes that are responsive to climate and context. However, communicating and integrating this data across disciplines can be a challenge.

Enter Vectorworks Landmark and Esri.

This webinar will explore multidisciplinary design and planning McGregor Coxall’s projects and workflows, demonstrating how integrated feedback loops between Vectorworks’ CAD/BIM process and Esri’s geospatial analysis can result in site-responsive and data-driven outcomes. It will also delve into how design concepts can feed back into the Esri platform to assess the best final project through quantitative scenario testing and how to communicate complex 2D and 3D outcomes to clients and stakeholders visually and interactively.
