3D MODELLING FOR RESIDENTIAL LANDSCAPES IN DESIGN SOFTWARE
Join Vectorworks to
explore digital workflows in a design process, tailored to the needs of
residential landscape projects. Starting with a model of the existing site and
a 2D concept plan, we will look at the effective ways to grade the site model
surface and to work with the site model contours. Using digital tools, we will
create a 3D model of the proposed landscapes for both the front and rear
garden. Learn tips and tricks for free-form modelling and its potential to
craft sculptures for residential sites. Open for all levels, the session will
focus on some of the new features and their benefits, helping you to
communicate your design proposals with clients and contractors.
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.

Join Vectorworks on creative journey
of crafting customised symbols, materials and other resources that can help you
to create bespoke landscape plans. In this session, we will share some of the
tips and tricks to generate your own resources in 2D and 3D. Using workgroup
libraries, we will explore ways to save, edit and share content with your
colleagues and project co-workers. Stay on track with updating your firm’s
libraries while using customised content and producing plans that meet the
industry standard. Suitable for all levels, we will explore some of the new
features that can help you to optimise the graphics of your landscape plans and
specifications.
Combine the strength of Vectorworks with the speed of AI image generation powered by Stable Diffusion. Directly available within the Vectorworks interface, this experimental feature uses Vectorworks Cloud Services for a zero-install, uninterrupted workflow to quickly ideate illustrative concepts or create refined images using your Vectorworks models at any stage of design.
