I came to realize that AutoCAD wasn’t using the resources available in a modern computer. Scott Lebsack, PLA, ASLA, Landscape Architect at BYLA Glenaire Retirement Community in Cary, North Carolina. It never felt as inclusive and coordinated with Revit and Civil 3D as we had hoped. Over time, as architects and civil engineers started using Revit and Civil 3D, there were layers of complexity and special requests for files in formats best suited for AutoCAD. We used to work in AutoCAD for black-lined construction drawings and basic color-toned conceptual plans. Phillip Tripp, PLA, Senior Landscape Architect at Surface 678 Working across multiple platforms to accomplish these things was a definite pain point for us.
VECTORWORKS LOG IN SOFTWARE
We do a lot of cost estimates and takeoffs in our projects, and our previous software wasn’t able to do the kind of digital terrain modeling and cut/fill analysis that we felt was necessary for our documentation needs. Jordan Guerrero, ASLA, AEP, ASLA NY Board Member, Landscape Designer at SiteWorks Third is the Idaho-based firm BYLA, who’ve been designing eye-catching outdoor spaces since 2006.Ĭan you share some workflow pain points you and your firm experienced before Vectorworks Landmark? Surface 678 works on projects in the academic, cultural, civic, corporate, healthcare, senior living, and recreation markets, and have been using Vectorworks since 2019. Next is Surface 678, who have received three awards from the North Carolina ASLA in 2020. The first firm is SiteWorks, who are based in New York City and provide a variety of landscape architecture services, including project scheduling/budgeting and construction implementation. In this article, you’ll hear from three landscape architects who’ve switched to Vectorworks Landmark and are now benefiting from more streamlined workflows.

Vectorworks Landmark is known for being an all-in-one solution, which means landscape architects can work without having to invest in additional software. This comes as a sticking point for many landscape architecture firms whose work spans beyond 2D drawings and plans. In landscape architecture, many of the available software options seem to specialize in individual areas, requiring an investment in add-ons to enable more holistic workflows.
