Commissioned by Nemetschek North America (the makers of Vectorworks itself), this workbook covers the garden design process including drawing up a site survey, importing site surveys, managing resources, hard landscaping, planting plans, 3D perspective drawings, Renderworks and more. Focusing on the traditional flow of a project, this book takes you through the tools you need to know in order to complete a 2D plan and 3D visualisation simultaneously!

Illustrated in full colour throughout, this book is the ideal companion to your initial training (with Tamsin and her team of course!)
