A simple interface that\'s tuned to landscape design and land planning makes VectorWorks Landmark easier to learn and use than traditional CAD programs. In addition to offering traditional CAD tools, VectorWorks Landmark allows you to design with real-world landscape components. You can quickly sketch ideas with VectorWorks Landmark\'s 2D drawing tools. Then you can rework, refine and document your designs with plants, landscape walls, patterned walkways and more. Landscape objects are easy to edit and automatically display correctly in 2D and 3D views. So creating 3D models of your 2D drawings is fast and easy. And VectorWorks Smart Cursor¿ technology replaces manual drafting tools, making it easy to find snap points, offsets and tangents, as well as draw precisely and quickly.
