This Lakehouse Landscape project provides a BIM workflow demonstration, showing the process of modelling residential landscape using Vectorworks Landmark. The focus rests firmly on the BIM process and explores the progress of the model through digital work stages and Level of Information Need, all the while referencing back to the UK BIM Framework and ISO19650 relevant standards.
Parametric tools, intelligent objects, data handling and creating associated views from the BIM model are demonstrated as best practice use, to streamline and optimise the design and modelling process while ensuring the maximum quality and consistency of delivery information.)
Refine and customize your AI-generated images with advanced tools: inpainting for precise edits, image style transfer for custom colors and materials, and enhanced detail creation for professional-quality results. Streamlined workflows make creating textures, fills, and props effortless, while adjustable aspect ratios and selection-aware buttons save time and simplify integration into Vectorworks.

BIM Interoperability for Landscape Architecture: IFC Exchanges in Vectorworks
Vectorworks Landmark offers the site design professional BIM workflows which can be intuitively integrated into their workflow. Landscape-focused tools such as plants, landscape areas, hardscapes, terrain models, and irrigation provide purpose-built 2D and 3D objects, which carry the information needed from those objects to enable analysis and documentation just like the building-focused tools do in architectural BIM software without the compromises.
For collaboration with other BIM-participating professionals, Vectorworks Landmark operates through the non-proprietary BIM format “Industry Foundation Classes” (IFC). Firms can export and share a data-rich model, treated consistently among other BIM software, as well as analyze with user-defined criteria within model checking software like Solibri.
This course will introduce you to the IFC file format, objects, and property sets, as well as guide you through managing this data for efficent file exchanges.
