Vectorworks Landmark Tutorial, Second Edition
The Vectorworks Landmark Tutorial Manual is written by experienced Vectorworks user and author, Jonathan Pickup. The workbook is comprised of a series of projects to teach you basic Vectorworks Landmark concepts and techniques.
- The first project works through a quick domestic project where we have a sketch plan, and we want to add some plants and hard landscaping to the plan.
- The second project is similar to the first project, but we start with a blank file and work right though the design process—from importing the scanned image to putting the title block on the drawing.
- The third project is a small commercial project that needs planting quickly added to the developer’s site plan.
- The final project is a full domestic project for a client, the Smith Family, in which we plan a garden that includes planting, irrigation, hardscaping, and an outdoor structure. This project is in both 2D and 3D.
