Residential Garden Design with Vectorworks Landmark 2012
by Tamsin Slatter
Commissioned by Nemetschek Vectorworks, Inc., (the makers of Vectorworks itself), this workbook covers the garden design process including drawing up a site survey, importing site surveys, managing a library of resources, hard landscaping, planting plans, 3D perspective drawings, Renderworks and more. Focusing on the traditional flow of a residential design project, this book takes you through the tools you need to know in order to complete a 2D landscape plan and 3D visualisation simultaneously, together with sections and schedules!
Illustrated in full colour throughout, this book is the ideal companion to your initial training (with Tamsin and her team of course!)
The Vectorworks Landmark 2012 edition is available to order now. 2009, 2010 and 2011 editions are also available to purchase at £65 plus £10 postage and packing (to UK addresses).
