“You just have to say find the surrounding object and align them.”įor users who collaborate with architects frequently or would like to see how their landscape design will affect the building it is around, the new IFC referencing feature is able to reference the geometry of the IFC file without changing the layers of your design. “Now you don’t have to do anything,” he says. “The hardscape is now smart enough to know all the surrounding objects like the walls of the building, roadways, even lampposts and things of that nature,” Sarkar says. This addition came in response to customer feedback. The hardscape alignment feature has simplified the process for aligning hardscaping around other objects.Īnother element added to Vectorworks Landmark 2020 is the hardscape alignment feature. The data visualization also helps with error checking, work validation and quality checking. For example trees needing between a certain number of gallons of water could be colored green, while trees with a different gallon range could be represented with another color.

Sarkar adds that this data can have ranges. An example of how the live data visualization works is a landscape architect could color coordinate the trees in the design by their sunlight or water usage needs.īecause the data is stored in the object, the user can easily see which plants have similar water requirements by glancing at the model. If you work with partners in BIM, you use the IFC and BCF format for OpenBIM or the Revit format.The live data visualization enables landscape designers to edit an object’s data as they are working and see the impact of those changes. The exchange with your external contacts is easy thanks to the many 2D and 3D file formats supported. Within your agency, you can work with several people on the same file simultaneously.
