Landmark_SIG_013 Special Interest Group October 2012

This is the movie from the afternoon session of the landmark special-interest group. This session was slightly different from the morning session because we looked at starting a project from a hand drawing. We then created layers on top of the scanned hand drawings so that we could start our Vectorworks plants.

Topics covered:

• Rescaling the scanned images to make them accurate
• Creating the design layers for the planting and hardscape
• Placing plants
• Editing the Plant definition
• creating plants that should not be on the plant list
• existing plants
• editing the plant settings
• using the Vectorworks plant list with images
• creating two plants of the same species but with different sizes by editing the plant settings
• adding the plant size in the schedule comments
• opening the plant database
• importing your old plants database into Vectorworks 2013 plant database
• creating a Vectorworks plant last
• getting the plant data from the Vectorworks plant list onto a plant
•  explaining the concept of the connection between a Vectorworks plant, a Vectorworks plant list, and the Vectorworks plant database
•  why would you want use the Vectorworks plant database, reasons for using it
• creating a plant from an object
