Vectorworks Landmark 2023 (Int. English) Upgrade

Transform your design, modeling and presentation workflows with Vectorworks Landmark, the industry-leading landscape-focused BIM software solution made specifically for landscape architects and designers. With intelligent objects, powerful databases and flexible documentation features, Landmark streamlines integrated 2D and 3D landscape-specific BIM workflows all in one application. With everyday performance improvements that will speed up your processes and leave you more time to design, Vectorworks Landmark 2023 offers added 3D plant content, expanded file referencing and new tools for site grading and hedgerows. Empowering you to design without limits.

Overview

Analyze your design for boundaries, area, volume, slope, cut/fill, and other data, such as water flow and sun/shade. Document existing structures, plant materials, and site conditions. Integrate mapping and site modeling needs into your workflows. Add survey data to your drawing and use it as the basis of your site model, or import CAD drawings and data from architects, builders, or engineers to use as base plans. Import geo-referenced aerial/satellite images and GIS data files from federal, city, state, or other agencies.

 

Innovative Irrigation Design
Planning for a site’s irrigation involves considerations and calculations related to both its physical features and resource availability. Vectorworks Landmark software meets all of these needs with innovative irrigation design tools. Create zones of similar watering needs with the new Hydrozone tool and then use built-in worksheets to analyze for water efficiency, which makes satisfying a site’s water budget allowance easier than ever. Whether specifying lateral and main piping, sprinkler heads, drip systems, valves, controllers, or other system components, the automated and manual placement methods are designed to meet industry standards while giving professionals the flexibility to design, document, and estimate proposed and as-built systems efficiently.

 

Superior 2D
The software's 2D functionality helps you to produce beautiful drawings and high-quality, professional documentation with ease. Our extensive suite of drawing and editing tools make quick work of any type of project, helping you to define and communicate your firm's graphical preference and meet industry standards. Tap into our large libraries of entourage, customizable line types, gradients, dash styles, and unlimited color palettes. Add tile and image fills, stipples, and hatching. Use our exclusive sketch rendering technology to change hard-lined drawings into soft, hand-sketched illustrations, blurring the line between clear, accurate technical documentation and compelling presentations.

 

Seamless Interoperability
Exchange NURBS models with Rhino or import concept models from SketchUp®. Support of both import and export of OBJ, STL, and 3DS file formats lets you explore the full range of design options by incorporating information from multiple sources, making sweeping changes quickly and easily.

 

Using IFC, an industry standard BIM file format, communicate effectively with your consultants and collaborators who may be using Revit® or other BIM software. Vectorworks Landmark offers IFC, DWG/DXF, and PDF support for document and model exchange.   

 

Creative 3D Modeling
Go beyond the limits of traditional CAD software. An advanced suite of Parasolid-based solids and NURBS surface tools lets you create any shape and easily explore geometry. Subdivision surface modeling lets you push, pull, blend, twist, sculpt, deform, or punch holes, creating unique focal pieces, sculptures, water features, play structures, and more. Design from any 3D view using modes in modeling tools that automatically infer working planes as you move your cursor and enjoy the superior quality that allows you to manipulate your model with ease. More accurate object information and better snapping make drawing in 3D easy.

 

Flexible Workflows & Project Sharing
Go beyond exploration and into development as your concepts mature into concrete solutions all in one application. Work on practically any type of project within a flexible and robust digital environment. Start with any image, sketch, or formal iteration and move easily between 2D and 3D views in a unified working environment.  Then, take advantage of new ways to collaborate and maximize efficiency with Project Sharing, which enables landscape professionals to streamline design document production and manage planting, hardscape, grading, and more — all while multiple designers are working on the same Vectorworks file concurrently.

 

Integrated Rendering
All Vectorworks software packages include Renderworks, the best-in-industry rendering feature set built on the award-winning Cinema 4D render engine. Renderworks provides the tools necessary to visualize your landscape model throughout the design process while producing clear and accurate illustrations.
