I definitely understand your "pain" with the learning curve of Vectorworks. Having come from a 3D modeling and animation background, even still the transition was a little awkward for awhile. My number one recommendation would be to set up a very thorough and complete template file. This will serve as a complete registry of the majority of your plant selections, construction materials and patterns etc. Setting up all the horticultural data associated with the plant types will help as well. That way when you start a new project, you will have all your layers, classes, line weights, page layouts, and plant options available, cutting down on the time spent adjusting each of these for each project. I have used LFX and have found that once you get into VW, you will find it quite productive. The management mentally of the 2D/3D workflow is probably daunting at first. All the viewports and information editing can be kinda tricky if you dont have a "muscle memory" built up. It is almost a case of having too many options accessible. You can change data multiple different ways, which can be confusing but in the end, liberating. Best of luck with the software and feel free to email or ask any questions. The more users we have, the more support will be available. Thanks! -k. vincent Thanks for commenting, Collin.

After starting my own practice, I investigated other means of production. You make a good point in that it was always so frustrating to do a site plan in CAD, render it in PS or Illustrator, then do a model in SU. So when I saw Vectorworks and what it touted, which was to do all of the above taks at a high level, it got my attention. However, 3 months later, I am still DEEP into the learning curve and I havent even touched the 3D application yet. I havent had a lot of projects that have forced me to use the software for a lengthy amount of time, but I am just now getting to the point of creating template, which is supposed to be the big time saver. I also used LandFX for the past few years. Planting Plan wise, I think LFX was an easier and more productive software. VW's advantage is the rendering and application of 3D. I never used LFX to export out to Sketchup. I am curious as to how long it took you to become efficient, and what your best recomendations may be for setting up workflows.
