Beginning with a site survey, it details the workflow of drawing up measurements taken on site, or importing information from a surveyor. It then explains how to draft a design and formalize it using the software's hard landscaping and planting tools and new interactive Push/Pull 3D modeling capabilities. Finally, it demonstrates how to produce hard landscaping and planting schedules and present the design in both 2D and 3D perspective views. The new Renderworks® Styles feature is employed to quickly provide customized rendered images from the 3D models. This fourth edition of the manual has been updated for use with Vectorworks 2012 software.
