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.
