MacCAD news: VectorWorks LANDMARK is now officially shipping

Architosh Press Report: Nemetschek North America today announced at AEC Systems 2001 that VectorWorks LANDMARK is now officially shipping.

Chicago, Illinois (June 20, 2001)- Nemetschek North America today announced at AEC Systems 2001 that VectorWorks LANDMARK is now officially shipping. The third product in the VectorWorks Industry Series, LANDMARK is aimed at the landscape and site design professions. Although LANDMARK originally previewed at ASLA 2000 in October, the current version incorporates VectorWorks' latest foundation CAD technology, 9.0.1. LANDMARK is available in the US market, and will debut internationally in the near future.

Robert Anderson, VP Integrated Products, Nemetschek NA, stated, "We believe LANDMARK will be a welcome tool in an industry where CAD technology options are limited and choices available for landscape and site design professionals are few. LANDMARK is a further sign of our commitment to offer our customers an out of box solution that addresses not only sophisticated design features but also fundamental design and drafting needs."

VectorWorks LANDMARK combines innovative drafting and modeling tools with robust site design and planting management tools to quickly and easily create, analyze and present site and landscape designs. Offering state of the art technology, LANDMARK provides designers with the ability to document an existing site, modify and sculpt new terrain, create planting and irrigation layouts and visualize in 3D.

To that end, VectorWorks LANDMARK has intelligent hardscape objects that automatically sculpt a site's contours and interact with the powerful site modeler, making it easier to create sites in 3D. Plant selection and inventory are readily accomplished through its unique plant manager, a fully customizable plant database, and its editable 2D/3D plant libraries. Additionally, LANDMARKâs planting tool allows designers to effortlessly track planting groups. Finally, powerful production and detailing features facilitate plan creations while the Drawing Issue Manager and Red Lining Suite make project management simple.
