Vectorworks Landmark is a comprehensive on-premise software solution designed specifically for landscape architects and site designers. It integrates advanced 2D drafting, flexible 3D modeling, and landscape-focused Building Information Modeling (BIM) capabilities within a single platform. The software supports the entire project lifecycle, from pre-design and schematic design to construction documentation, allowing users to start with field measurements, surveys, GIS data, or drone imagery. Landmark features intelligent objects for hardscapes, plantings, and landscape areas, as well as tools for site modeling, terrain analysis, and sustainability data integration. The platform streamlines workflows with automated data management, customizable documentation, and interoperability with industry-standard formats (DWG, IFC, RVT). Recent updates include enhanced tools for curbs, edging, borders, and hardscape data, as well as improved survey point management and terrain alignment. Vectorworks Landmark is used by landscape professionals across a range of project types, supporting both conceptual and detailed design, and enabling efficient collaboration and reporting throughout the design and construction process.
