Interactive Workshops March 2019 – Landscape Areas and Hardscapes
These objects are great for creating graphic plans and 3D visualisations. It’s a shame that you need Landmark or Designer for these.

The previous section was all about beginner topics, which everyone should know. This section is all about the intermediate topics that you will need to know in order to create your drawings from the 3D model. This section will be about how the 3D parts of the design work.
In this session we looked at trying to create a hatch pattern that would create a random paving pattern and whether this would be achievable using hatches or whether it would be better using tiles. We also looked at creating areas of landscape area for quick planting areas, creating random…
In this session we looked in detail at attaching tags to planting and hardscapes and how this relates to creating drawings using viewports and sheet layers. We also looked at the detail of using a hardscape as a site modifier.
This session looked at the problem of creating several curving driveways and paths. The texture should follow the curve and the path. We focused on using the Hardscape tool. This gives us the shape that we needed and there is also the ability to have the hatching follow the shape…

Now that you can create a fall to your hardscape objects, you have different ways of setting the fall. You can set the fall by percentage, by ratio, or by elevation at the start and the finish.
From 2016 onwards hardscape objects can be designed to have a fall. Previous versions of Vectorworks only allowed the hardscape object to be flat, now you can choose to slope the hardscape.
