Vectorworks Landmark 2013

CAD doesn't have to be too expensive or too difficult to use. With the right CAD program, you can increase productivity and profitability while creating better-looking drawings and 3D presentations. For over 17 years, landscape architects and site designers have relied on Vectorworks Landmark 2013 to create and present their designs. And, since it’s available for only a fraction of the cost of other CAD programs, it’ll help reduce costs right from the start.

New Dimensional Constraint Manager

Make life easier with very reliable parametric constraints. You can interactively make edits to your model or your views and have the changes automatically reflected.

Interactive Dimension Editing

Now you can directly edit geometry using a dimension's length on the documents drawing area.

Improved Drawing Coordination

Users will enjoy automatic management of reference information, linking sheet numbers, drawing numbers on drawing borders, drawing labels, and reference markers.

New Planar Graphics

2D objects can occupy the "screen plane" as they do now or use the "planar space" in the unified coordinate system.

New Select Similar Tool

The new "select similar" tool enables you to do in one click what you previously did in many. You can select all similar objects, based on any combination of 27 criteria, regardless of layer or class, define saved settings, and save, load, or delete your selection settings.

Easy Mapping of Associative Hatches

Now you'll have greater control over modifying an objects associative hatch fill - you can more easily identify the origin, and precisely set the hatch origin, rotation, and scale.

Over 800 New Monrovia Plant Images

Improved Plant Database with new images and plant data from Monrovia Nurseries.

New Hardscape Capabilities

Now it's even easier to create custom patios, walkways, driveways, and other landscape elements with the hardscape object. We've made improvements in the tag, in turning off border segments, in 3D texturing of hardscape borders, in placing holes in borders, and in texturing your hardscape directly from the "object info" palette.

New and Improved Parking Tools

Try the new parking tools that make it easy to create intelligent and reportable parking spaces. The "parking along path" tool lets you add head in and parallel parking spaces along curved paths. The "parking area" tool creates fills an area with parking spaces and adjusts the spaces for tree islands and handicap spaces.

New Select Similar tool

The new "select similar" tool enables you to do in one click what you previously did in many. You can select all similar objects, based on any combination of 27 criteria, regardless of layer or class, define saved settings, and save, load, or delete your selection settings.

New Grade Calculator

Use the new grade calculator for percentage of grade, difference in elevation, or length.

Improved Texture Mapping Controls

You'll enjoy this easy-to-use 2D and 3D texture-mapping interface. We've merged intuitive mapping controls into a single dialog interface.

New Decal Texturing

Since you can now apply multiple textures onto a single object, it's simple to visualize signage, labeling, and custom decal or material renderings.

HDRI Content

New HDRI Backgrounds including exterior, interior, and studio backgrounds.

New Blur Reflectivity Shaders

You can now add a blur factor to reflectivity shaders such as simple glass, accurate glass, mirror, and metal. With these shaders, renderings of reflected shadows will be so realistic, you might have to pinch them.
