What do you like best about Vectorworks Landmark?

a lot of really great features (potentially) and set up with LA workflow in mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vectorworks Landmark?

it is too difficult to get the wide array of tools to work as expected. it works fine for 2D drafting as a replacement for autocad but the 3D modeling and grading tools are very cumbersome and not straightforward. many bugs and glitches prevented progress. the integration training is not targeted to meet the goals of the firm using the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

in theory the tools available are exactly what LAs need to move into BIM....in practice they are glitchy, not customizable, and prevent a full hybrid 2D/3D workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Tyler French of Vectorworks Landmark

What do you like best about Vectorworks Landmark?

I love the pre-designed elements that make it very easy to have a good overview of a project with detailing, dimensions, line weight all embedded within the components you chose from the catalog Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vectorworks Landmark?

I dislike the fact that as you chose prefab components, they are very difficult to edit. You cannot customize most of them or if you do it is highly complicated to have them edited both in 2d and in 3d. I have not yet found a good workflow with non traditional designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Vectorworks Landmark:

This software does not have an plugin option to add python or scripting which is probably lacking. I feel like Revit and Rhino and other very good softwares to use with a greater learning curve and move possibilities but I love the graphics and ease of use of Vectorworks. The fact that there are different graphic style is definitely a plus when considering to use it because you do not need to render on top of Vectorworks (generally). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I love the furniture and plant selection. I also love the detailing of construction within the components, especially the layers and their graphic equivalent and thickness. It saves me so much time. Also once you model is done, creating sections is so easy. I love that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Vectorworks Landmark?

Vectoroworks can not only be used for landscape design but also for advertising content. Its a great way to edit photos and create new documents if you do not have adobe editor Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vectorworks Landmark?

I dislike how you can't export large files. There are times I would create an image I wanted to export, but when i went to just select a section to export it would be too large. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Vectorworks Landmark:

I would learn AutoCAD first then transition to this product once you are ready Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Its not really solving business problems since its a design software. It is our main software for design, so we use it as a sales tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Vectorworks Landmark?

Landmark is an easy to use CAD software that is compatible with other CAD programs, which allows for collaboration with other professionals, and also has great rendering capabilities to generate legible plans. Great tech support, too! The program is set up differently than AutoCad, but once the structure of the program is figured out, its fairly easy to take it from there. Importing other files types has been easy, too, such as adding aerial photos, pdf or jpeg images as backgrounds and supplemental information on the sheet. Its nice to be able to lay everything out in one program and be able to seamlessly update the plans as changes are made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vectorworks Landmark?

Getting other CAD files to import properly can be challenging. CAD blocks need to be exploded to get the basic line work to be modified in some cases. I have had some issues with large files crashing, but there are a lot of program updates that keep the software working and compatible with other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Vectorworks Landmark:

Give it time to learn the software and utilize tech support to help figure it out. There was a steep learning curve at first until I figured out the organization of the program, but from there its mostly intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Landmark tools are really easy to use to draft and design. Even the basic tool set allows for a lot of flexibility in designing even organic shapes and hard geometry. There are a lot of options to render drawings- adding transparent hatches and colors to add texture and value to an otherwise black and white drawing. The sheet layers and view ports work really well for creating and managing multiple drawings for complex projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
