Vectorworks Landmark: New in Version 2008: Objects

In Vectorworks Landmark 2008, you have more options than ever. As well as improvements to the plant tool, you'll find new and updated patterns and libraries.

Improved Plant Tool
A redesigned plant tool makes it easier to create and manage plant objects. Plants in Vectorworks Landmark now behave like other symbols in Vectorworks. You can easily import them from other drawings, as well as export them to your firm's plant symbol library. And, new right-click editing makes it easy to edit the 2D look, 3D look, and plant data.

Standalone Plant Database
An improved plant database complements the improvements to the Place Plant tool in Vectorworks Landmark. The plant database is now a stand-alone, full-featured database. It's much easier to import new plant data from external sources or existing plant databases, and perform sophisticated plant searches. In addition, plant records can include both botanical data and a pictorial representation. Without leaving the database, you can quickly navigate to sites such as Google™ Images, Wikipedia, or university or government sources, such as the USDA plants database. Now, it's easy to create custom plant lists or catalogues that are linked directly to the Place Plant tool.

Support for Geo-referenced Image Files
Vectorworks Landmark can now import geo-referenced image files, giving you a great new presentation capability. Easily overlay GIS images (bitmap maps, aerial photographs, etc.) with GIS .shp (Shape) data to create compelling and informative presentations. Because the images and .shp data are geo-referenced, the imported images and .shp data come in perfectly aligned.

Updated Xfrog® Plant Libraries
The Xfrog plant library has been greatly enhanced to include 652 new colour images. This includes 84 new plant species (20 Australian) of flowers, ground cover, and trees, as well as new spring and fall variations. Each species is also represented as a 3D image prop. Another new addition to the Xfrog plant library is 166 stylized watercolour versions of trees and shrubs in top, elevation, season, and growth views. You also have at your fingertips black and white bitemporal and silhouetted versions of all new and existing species in the collection.

Unilock® Hatch Patterns
185 new paver hatch patterns match Unilock's paver patterns to enhance your designs.
