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.
With continuous development of technology and legislation, this webinar focuses on digital tools and workflows that can enhance the collaboration between landscape architects and ecologists. Joined by Matthew Davies, a QGIS specialist from Maplango, it showcases a case study and a habitat-rich landscape project in both Vectorworks and QGIS. The aim is to optimise file exchange and look at the effective ways to create planting plans for biodiversity enhancment purposes.
Following the standard project delivery,
the webinar's content places emphasis on data and a difference that GIS and import/export
capabilities in Vectorworks make for landscape professionals and their design
decisions. While the naming conventions can vary amongst the landscape
disciplines, digital tools can help to optimise the collaboration and ensure a
greater level of communication between the landscape professions.
Discover how you can diversify your experiences in landscape architecture and investigate unique options for your career journey in this upcoming webinar.
This panel discussion will consider the professional evolution of practitioners who began their careers much like you are and are currently in non-traditional practices, loving what they do. They are making a more significant impact because their perception of ongoing professional success remains open to change.
The following industry experts will share their insights:

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.

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.
