In this session we look at site modifiers. We started by looking at a site without any site modifiers at all and we use the technique of drawing simple objects (rectangles) and adding them together to create a polygon. There is a command from the right click (contextual menu) called…
In this session we looked at the report from the earlier landscape session, but the users pointed out that the previous report only look for flat objects which is not much use on a sloping site. So the session took the report from the early session in tried to update…
In this session we wanted to look at the ability to create reports. In particular, the user wanted to look at how to create a report with areas of hardscapes along with volumes of hardscapes.
In the session we looked at site modelling and site modifiers. In particular, we looked at the site model settings to see how to edit the site model labels and crop area using the Reshape tool we looked at a simple site modifier. We used the command Create Objects From…
This session looked at creating a custom sheet border (Title Block). We started with a simple custom title block for the sheep border. We looked at the options on the object info palette to edit the border, edit the scale of the title block, edit the text on the title…
In this session we looked at placing a swimming pool in a site model. We have previously looked at creating a swimming pool (SST_1102) but in this session we looked at how to use the swimming pool to form the cutout in the site model. To modify the site model a…
In this session we looked at the Existing Tree tool, how to add species data to the tool, how you can use the VW Plants database to create a tree list that you can use with the Existing Tree tool, the Tag and Number options and how to schedule the…

This session looked at 3D modelling, creating a tent sail & posts & deck steps using NURBS modelling, Loft Surface tool, Project tool, 3D Polygon tool, Convert to NURBS command, Extrude Along Path (Uniform & Exponential) commands, Offset tool, Create Objects from Shapes (into Floor and Hardscape) command. It also…
This session looked at the differences between using a Massing Model and creating a simple house with standard Wall and Roof tools. As demonstrated there are more benefits when using the latter, e.g. can add windows and doors. It also highlighted the Heliodon tool to generate solar studies. It demonstrated…
