About this event

Join this session to dive deeper into softscape design and discover new capabilities that streamline the production of plant specifications for commercial and residential landscape projects.

Gain insights into plant data import, giving you better control over project procurement at early design stages and providing access to data from regional plant suppliers. Build tailored planting palettes, refine attributes such as canopy or irrigation requirements, add notes for maintenance contractors, and design diverse, species-rich plant communities for rain gardens, SuDS schemes, or rooftop gardens with ease.

Learn workflows that support the production of detailed planting plans and management plans for public parks and commercial landscapes. Effortlessly create, manage, and refine plant palettes; tailor hedge and array settings; track water requirements; and streamline graphic replacements.

Gain an understanding of the available plant content and style tools, specifically designed to fulfil the needs of softscape design. Adhere to planning conditions and achieve your project’s sustainability goals with integrated automation that tracks Biodiversity Net Gain or the Urban Greening Factor score of your project.

Learning outcomes:

  • Get an overview of advanced plant data import capabilities in Vectorworks
  • Explore plant tool capabilities
  • Learn about BNG and UGF Workflow for 2D and 3D Design
