Explore the potential of photogrammetry and point cloud capture for landscape projects using Nomad, a Vectorworks app for iPhone, iPad, and Android devices.
In this webinar, you'll dive into the fundamentals of these technologies, including how they work and what they can achieve. You’ll see how Nomad can act as a companion for capturing site inventory, participate in the design phase, and be used for as-built documentation.
This session will also cover practical tips and best practices for using Nomad to generate 3D models from photos and capture point clouds with the iPhone's internal LiDAR scanner.
Learning Objectives
Designing landscapes with sustainability in mind is no longer a matter of preference but one of meeting jurisdictional requirements.
Site designers can harness the power of design software, online resources, and other digital tools to meet new expectations in water-efficient irrigation and on-site water management. And with the help of GIS integrations, plant databases, and smart 2D/3D object design, creatively managing water in your proposed landscape is easier than ever.

Now more than ever, 3D modeling is integral to the workflow of all landscape professionals. In this webinar we’ll look at a workflow specifically for
landscape architects and garden designers — how to cooperate with contractors
and how to communicate your ideas to your clients in the most effective way.
Learning Objectives
An interdisciplinary concept founded on landscape architecture, urban design, and ecological sciences, Biourbanism is a method that assists mayors, city leaders, and city planners to create healthier, more resilient cities. Biourbanism is centred around
five urban and five bio systems that analyse city health: economy, energy, mobility, structure, technology, water, food, waste, landscape, and humanity.
Put simply, the research-led philosophy asserts that cities must be considered a form
of nature in response to global climate challenges.
Join Adrian McGregor, chief design officer of McGregor Coxall, professor, and author, for a discussion on Biourbanism and realistic roadmaps for cities and communities to achieving resilience.

Learning Objectives
As a landscape architect or designer, you can find efficiencies in making use of “background” files from civil and survey engineers. You can apply their proposed work without recreating the base plan. And, with advancements in BIM software, working in
different applications is easier than ever before with better file management and staying consistent with origin, georeferencing, and positioning.
Join Tony Kostreski, PLA and senior landscape product specialist, to learn the benefits of importing
or referencing files and how imported geometry and data can be transformed into smart hybrid objects. All of the methods discussed can provide essential context in your BIM for landscape workflows.

Is your workflow feeling disconnected? We’ll show you how to connect your workflow and get more out of it, all while doing less! Join industry and Vectorworks product specialists, Kesoon Chance, Iskra Nikolova, and Luis M. Ruiz to discuss the different ways in which you can get the most out of Vectorworks Cloud Services. You’ll learn how you can process your drawings, stay connected, collaborate with your team, and show clients interactive presentations all while never stepping away from your project.

Social media marketing is a key driver in building relationships, driving traffic, increasing brand awareness, and promoting what your landscape design firms’ success is all about.
In this webinar, Joselyn Wojtalewicz, Vectorworks content marketing
manager, will guide you through the best practices for using social media and share examples of successful landscape design firms’ use of digital marketing.

“Green infrastructure” can be a broad term. But when applied to stormwater, it represents a way to get closer to your net zero landscape goals. Rain gardens, conservation landscapes, and tree plantings of appropriate species can be paired with designing
for the water that’s present in your site. Water harvesting can also be added for a source of supplemental water, and green roofs can be your first line of defense when it comes to achieving net-zero water on your site.

As a landscape designer, you’re likely looking for new ways to integrate sustainable objectives into your site design workflow. These objectives can stem from a conscientious client, a jurisdictional mandate, or a desire to create a positive environmental impact beyond each project site.
Fortunately, technology is more capable than ever to support your sustainability objectives. This presentation will showcase various firms’ successes found in using their design software and other technology integrations to achieve their goals for environmental stewardship. It will also explore opportunities where technology can continue to develop for better landscape performance.
Learning Objectives
Irrigation design for efficiency, analysis, and quantity takeoffs are standard requirements in today’s world of landscape design. The powerful tools within Vectorworks Landmark allow you to place outlets while seeing product-specified performance. Connect piping in your design that’ll calculate friction loss and hydraulic pressure, while automatically sizing the lateral and mainline piping. And, you can place drip tubing while generating true GPH required per zone. Once designed, you can analyze, document, and calculate the irrigation network, creating a robust, water-efficient irrigation design.
Learning Objectives
Visualizations are an integral facet of landscape design. Everyone has a different approach, from continuing to embrace the more time-intensive hand-drawn methods, while others utilize CAD paired with 3D modeling and image-editing technology. Although each of these are successful to some degree - revisions are inevitable, and the time it takes to reconstruct these illustrations in multiple software’s can be greatly reduced by fine-tuning the design in a single application.
Join us to witness the power and efficiencies gained by 3D modeling in landscape-specific BIM software and gain an understanding of how to build various features found on a proposed site while using a combination of site planning tools and commonly used
3D modeling processes. Communication is essential for the success of any project, and the mention of “revisions” shouldn’t cause fear of going over budget.
