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.

Learning Objectives
Recognize how modeled terrains can visualize grade changes
and analyze for cut/fill, slope, and surface drainage flow.
Understand how sun and shade studies can analyze existing
conditions and propose landscape solutions to your clients.
Realize where integrating 3D workflows can be less
disruptive to design development and build efficiencies for each subsequent
project.
Learn how 3D objects can provide crucial estimating data for
costing and material reports.
Say hello to the new automated Fence tool. Optimized for simplified and detailed representations, the Fence tool supports integrated posts, gates, and terrain-conforming options like raked or panel/stepped. Save significant time while designing in 2D and 3D with accurate material reporting, reducing errors in material specifications.

COFFEE BREAK - VECTORWORKS 2024 NEW AUTOMATED FENCE TOOL
Join Katarina Ollikainen ( Vectorworks Landmark Planner) in discussing the new, automated Fence Tool. Optimized for simplified and detailed representations, the fence tool supports integrated posts, gates and terrain-conforming options like racked or panel/stepped. The Fence tool will save you significant time while designing in 2D and 3D, and also allow for accurate material reporting, reducing the chance for errors in material specifications.
INTUITIVE SITE PLANNING: TERRAIN MODELING AND VEHICLE TURN SIMULATION
Creating and modeling a site's terrain is an important part of 2D/3D site planning. Now, added features to the Vectorworks 2019 site model enable designers to have more control over how that surface is sculpted and represented. Additionally, simulating vehicle maneuverability requirements can be incredibly time consuming due to tasks such as making vehicular templates and emulating swept path movements. In this webinar, learn how to save time by manually simulating vehicular wheel and body paths in Vectorworks 2019. Attendees will discover how to access AutoTURN Online by Transoft Solutions to more efficiently test vehicular use areas for path movement conflicts.

Creating and modeling a site's terrain with the Vectorworks site model continues to be an important part of a designer's workflow in 2D/3D site planning. Though various data formats may help inform the existing surface, added features to the site model enable designers to have more control over how that surface is represented. This session will demonstrate various traditional and non-traditional site modification processes, enabling attendees to achieve better land sculpting for drainage, berming, and retaining features.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Review the opportunities to create a site model from various source data formats.
Recognize advances in the Vectorworks site model and site modifiers.
Utilize site model modifying techniques such as swales, contoured berms, and retaining edges.
Explore non-traditional modification methods, such as 3D bending polygons and contour editing.
Unlike SketchUp and Rhino, site model sculpting in Vectorworks BIM products can be performed on both geometry and on an intelligent site model, so you can run a site analysis and calculate the effects of your changes without having to use specialized add-ons or entirely separate products. You can quickly, easily, and intuitively sculpt the site for your project using a variety of Vectorworks direct modeling features, such as reshape and push/pull.
