Course info

Learn how to sketch, draw, and model in an environment built for the way landscape design professionals work. Watch this webinar to examine residential site design in-depth. By focusing on sloping residential sites, the session will trace a complete residential design workflow: importing and validating surveyed elevation data, generating existing and proposed site models, and applying site modifiers to control finished levels, gradients, and interface conditions at thresholds and retaining structures.

You’ll learn how to configure Grade objects, perform contour editing, and conduct cut-and-fill analysis to resolve stepped terraces and circulation routes before integrating hardscape and landscape area objects. The webinar concludes with the production of a coordinated output of plans and sections from the same file, demonstrating how a disciplined digital grading workflow underpins buildable multi-level patio design, water-sensitive detailing, and contractor-ready documentation for residential garden projects.
