During the Great Recession, landscape architect and owner of a mid-size design-build company, Joe Hanauer decided to “tech up”. His goal then was to be a one-person design-build office. Now, with labor markets tight, using technology to create efficiencies for installation crews is increasingly important. With hardware including a tablet, computer, GPS Surveyor, altimeter level and camera, combined with software for note taking, estimating, and designing this session will reveal how they are all essential to creating an efficient workflow from first call to last shovel. This session will also show how this “almost-paper-free” technology workflow can be used to run a one-person office and scaled to work with larger firms, too.

Learning Objectives
Join Jonathan Reeves, UK architect, and real-time rendering expert to learn how easy it is to upgrade your presentations with renderings, animations, and interactive cloud presentations.Understand how Vectorworks 3D models can be developed and exported to Twinmotion and easily updated.
Learn how to refine textures and lighting to produce photo-realistic renderings. Add context with landscape, plantings, entourage to produce high-quality animations. Share renderings, animations, and interactive presentations with clients with presenter.
Learning Objectives
Max Conwell from Naked Eye Ltd., will take you behind the scenes of The Void — ITV’s new Saturday night game show. The webinar will demonstrate
how Vectorworks Spotlight and ConnectCAD’s clear and concise networking and data layouts were used for the lighting design. When collaborating with the various design departments on the show, multiple file formats were produced. And, in this webinar,
Conwell will show how these formats integrated seamlessly into the master Vectorworks file. Today, face-to-face meetings are few and far between, so the clarity of communication in design documentation is vital to a successful production.
Learning Objectives
If you’re designing and building with a team, dynamic collaboration and workflow efficiency are vital to the success of the project. Join us as we explore how to achieve dynamic efficiency from concept to field. Using real-world projects and examples from their team on the ground in Colorado, Cheri Stringer of 12x award-winning TLC Gardens Design Build Firm will walk you through using graphics, applying detail, and utilizing sheet sets for construction implementation. Together we will tackle best practices for creating a project portfolio and analyze strategies for effective team execution with Vectorworks sheet sets, graphics, and 3D model visualizations.
Learning Objectives
Join David Farley, theatre and live event set designer as he shows us how he uses Vectorworks 3D models to create 3D prints to help visualise his projects. He will take us through some of his work, including 1:25 lights, furniture, full scale prop and costume elements.
Learning Objectives
Ever wonder about 3D modeling and the benefits it can provide for designers? Join Peter Kerwin, Parasolid product manager, and Mark Doubleday, stage lighting designer, in the latest webinar on 3D modeling through Vectorworks software. Kerwin will begin by discussing the importance of 3D modeling and the technology integrated into the Vectorworks 3D modeling engine. Doubleday will follow by describing some of the 3D modeling processes he used on a recent production of “Macbeth,” and how it helped him control reflected light from the glass and steel set.
Learning Objectives
BIM has a wide range of benefits and uses including model validation and coordination, and the construction industry is rapidly adopting new technologies that provide more efficiencies and better integrated project delivery. In this webinar we will discuss the BIM adoption strategies used by Studio Partington as well as how new technologies helped them provide better quality models for collaboration using OpenBIM.
Vectorworks’ partnership with its Nemetschek sister company, Solibri®, brings Vectorworks Architect users a new Solibri Direct connection. Discover how Solibri Office can help you create more reliable and accurate models for validation, checking, and coordination.
Learning Objectives
Spend more time designing and less time documenting by transitioning from a 2D to a 3D workflow. The benefits go beyond visualization aspects of 3D modeling. Creating a Building Information Model (BIM) will allow you to largely automate your workflow because BIM objects have built-in data that can be extracted using documentation tools. Sarah Barrett, Associate AIA and Senior Architect Product Specialist of Vectorworks will be explaining the purposes of the tools as well as how to efficiently document your model. Join this webinar to maximize your data automation and leverage smart tools for documentation and drawing.

Learning Objectives
As each generation has changed, so has the experience of Sunday church service. In some churches, services have become more technical involving a stage, lighting designs and programming for special events. Join Andy Bentley, Central Production Director at Elevation Church, as he shares his journey as a lighting designer navigating a difficult industry. See Bentley’s tips and tricks on rendering, organization on files and sheet layers, and collaborating with internal teams.
Learning Objectives
More than ever, due to COVID-19, people are spending more time at home and therefore have found issues that they want to work on within homes. Kitchens have become a multi-functional space and this webinar will help you work on those little details.
As part of our new webinar series for residential interiors, join Kesoon Chance, industry specialist at Vectorworks, Inc. and Stephan Mönninghoff, co-owner of extragroup, to explore how to get your space design to suit your needs. This webinar will showcase the process of custom designs from conceptual modeling with extrudes, development with the parametric cabinets, and construction details with interiorcad within Vectorworks.
Learning Objectives
During COVID times, going out to movies and theaters has been put on hold. Just like home offices are a new trend, architects, designers, and contractors have seen a spike in new commissions based on renovating and transforming dead spaces into family entertainment rooms. In a new webinar series for residential interiors, join Wes Gardner, senior product specialist at Vectorworks, Inc., to learn how you can get these projects started in record time by adopting a new approach to producing drawings and takeoffs. If you are already familiar with digital drafting and have started integrating 3D modeling into your daily workflow, then this is the webinar for you.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Designing landscapes with sustainability in mind is no longer a matter of preference, but one of meeting jurisdictional requirements. Site designers are increasingly leaning on design software and online resources to make their current design workflows easier, and also to help meet the new obligations in water-efficient site design. By incorporating the water needs of proposed plants, designing hydrozones for irrigation and calculating water budgets, design applications help you to plan for beautiful landscapes that maximize water efficiency.
