Learn
how the use of a GPS surveyor can increase the accuracy of in-house surveys and
create more accurate project drawings.
Understand
the limitations of a GPS surveyor and how a mobile device and point cloud
capture can offer a solution.
Create
efficiencies from design to construction with design software tools that can be

No matter who’s involved in your file exchange, it’s critical to maintain accurate project file position and origin. This is essential for efficient design and documentation workflows — and the integrity of project delivery. This presentation will review best practice workflows using georeferencing within the file organisation to integrate other CAD, BIM, and GIS files.

Everyone is talking about BIM – big BIM, small BIM, BIM level 2. But what should you think of before you start on your BIM journey? By making sure your house is in order, with the right structure and knowledge, you can make the transition into the World of BIM a whole lot easier. This webinar is focusing on the resources and structure you will be grateful to have in place when you approach your first BIM Execution Plan – it will show you how and why you should have templates prepared, how to work with libraries of resources and how to ensure that you use all of Vectorworks’ tools when it comes to placing your project in the real world with help of GIS.

Lisa McRavey and Iain Lyon are Senior Landscape Architects with independent Scottish Landscape Architecture studio RaeburnFarquharBowen. The practice embraces sustainable design, with particular expertise in green infrastructure and community co-design – designing for both people and nature. This presentation follows on from their 2020 Design Day presentation, ‘Design with Nature, Design with Data’, and looks at how data-rich Vectorworks projects can be used to communicate information in different ways. It explores data communication with design team colleagues throughout the life of a project, and discusses the possibilities of Vectorworks as a working tool to help inform the design process. It also considers innovative methods of publicly sharing finalised designs in dynamic and interactive ways, and demonstrates how these Vectorworks projects can be used to generate dynamic output far richer than static drawings - including through the use of partnership software such as ArcGIS and TwinMotion.
Join us as we explore the incredible GIS tools and look at how this valuable data can enhance your projects. Learn how to correctly locate your project and line up your imports. Take advantage of the many GIS tools to help you make design decisions regarding your projects.
