Description

The hardest part about learning a new software is overcoming the learning curve and knowing you will be confident within the software once completed. Rest assured, this course is designed to teach you a method to repeatedly use on all future landscape plans with pre-built tools to start designing immediately.

This course is structured to teach a complete beginner of AutoCAD the ins and outs of what’s important in the software if you’re a landscape designer. All tutorials focus on landscape design and cuts out the general use of the program. However, the course is also designed to enhance the knowledge and speed of an intermediate landscape designer who already uses AutoCAD as it provides individual tutorials on AutoCAD commands that you may not have used before.

During the course, materials are provided to expedite the learning curve and for you to use on all your future landscape projects. These materials include:

  • 100+ AutoCAD Layers for Landscape

  • Plant Symbols

  • Site Diagrammatic Symbols

  • Title Blocks

  • Pen Settings

  • 24 AutoCAD Commands for Landscape Design eBook

  • Landscape Design Checklist for Homeowners

By the end of this course, you will understand AutoCAD and how to use it for landscape design. The course and sequential videos will be the foundation to all of your future landscape plans. The pre-built assets / tools can also be used on all your landscape plans to eliminate the need to create tools from scratch.
