"Technical landscape drawing with amazing simplifying tools"

5/5

What do you like best about Vectorworks Landmark?

I have used this program almost daily (workdays mainly) for 16.5 years. It is a complex and powerful program geared towards making landscape drawings easy. It includes a number of features to help take off quantities, lengths, areas, volumes, plant numbers, etc. It has access to large databases of information regarding plants (and other objects). Built-in worksheets allow calculations to take quantities from the drawings and are easy to update with a click if the drawing changes, or alternative options need to be compared. It has powerful 3D features that allow 3D renders, and links directly to Twinmotion to make these more interesting and to add decorative elements and some degree of animation for presentations. All this is fairly intuitive, and it is fun exploring new features and alternative ways to achieve desired results. Knowledge of hot keys can speed up work significantly. It converts from and to a remarkable number of formats.

I have found so many useful tutorials online to guide me through things I am not familiar with, and Tech Support usually comes through very well. Very active online forums also allow one to find custom scripts for a variety of functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vectorworks Landmark?

The program crashes - not often, but too often for me (then again never would be my preference). There are some things which could be done a bit more effectively - but Vectorworks has a wishlist through support which might bring in these options later.

Soil volume takeoffs should be simpler. It seems very complex to build a site to caluculate cut and fill volumes, to rough and final grades, but that might be my ignorance.

Conversion to and from AutoCAD, while remarkably smooth for such a complex operation, could be smoother. Part of that is lack of equivalent object in AutoCAD, and the use of layer in AutoCAD being limited to Vectorworks classes, and no equivalent for Vectorworks layers.

It is not (yet) as widely accepted as AutoCAD, though I find it a far superior program, Many resource sites are starting to offer Vectorworks objects in addition to AutoCAD, Sketchup and PDF, so this is improving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vectorworks Landmark solving and how is that benefiting you?

Easy placement of plants, easy changes to plants and sites, easy access to plant information, plant tracking, site layout, rendering in 3D.

Use of layers to model different options within the same file, easy ability to put the different options in viewports for comparison.

Object tracking in general, worksheets for plan counts, info display, area, volume and other calculations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Quality & Super Handy"

5/5

What do you like best about Vectorworks Landmark?

The illustrations are clean, detailed, and super easy to work with. Perfect for my travel-themed designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vectorworks Landmark?

The only downside for me was the learning curve—there’s a lot to take in at first, and it took some time to feel confident using all the features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vectorworks Landmark solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a graphic designer working on landscape-related projects, Vectorworks Landmark helps me bridge the gap between technical site data and visually polished presentations. It allows me to create accurate, scaled plans and 3D visuals, while still giving me the flexibility to style and customize graphics for client presentations, marketing materials, or reports. It saves me time switching between CAD tools and design software, and helps me deliver both precision and creativity in one workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Goood software, but need to try harder with your captive audience (Pay per month/year etc.)"

3/5

What do you like best about Vectorworks Landmark?

Quality software that handles curves, none straight lines well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vectorworks Landmark?

Not user friendly enough when using all the functions. Nothing like as easy to use as other modern software is now.

Need to work far harder on the updates, especially with the license's being paid via the lease scheme now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that we have access to a lot of video and content when I have questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vectorworks Landmark?

I don't like that all the information is not really clear.

it seem like all the important information to help us learn how to use it, we have to pay for it. if you have questions, no one wants to answer you, we only send you and template email refering to vectorworks university or offer you to paid one on one training where the teacher as no spot available in his calendar.

"Vectorworks Landmark Critique"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Vectorworks Landmark?

That it integrates site analysis, conceptual tools 3D capabilities and documentation not only in one app but in one file. Careful and consise modeling will allow you to have an easier time down stream in documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vectorworks Landmark?

At least with the amount of time I have been using the app, I find the learning curve to be really steep. I haven't had formal training which would probably help that curve, but I have been using AutoCAD, Sketchup, Adobe apps and Structure Studio and this has been by far the hardest app to get proficinent at.

Hi, it's good to hear that Vectorworks Landmark is streamlining your workflow. We understand the learning curve can be challenging, and we’re always working to improve the user experience. Keep exploring, and we appreciate your insights!
