Top 5 Site & Hardscape Videos

Land F/X has the tools to meet your site and hardscape needs. We've carefully culled our extensive video learning collection and selected the best five videos to help you find your footing. While watching, if you want to know more about a feature in Land F/X, check out our documentation for more information.

1. Power Tip: Site Tools in 3 Minutes

Take the rush-tour of the site and hardscape capabilities in Land F/X. In three minutes, you'll get a look at how to place blocks, polylines, and hatches embedded with data such as description and cost. Your hardscape plans can be finished efficiently with our labeling, scheduling, annotation, and grading features.

2. Manufacturer Connection: Specifying Hardscapes

This is a great place to start for beginners to site and hardscape design. You'll learn about the complex blend of 2D surfacing requirements, detailed sections, and 3D spatial visualizations. Find your groove between these spaces to design the best landscape intervention possible.

3. Intro to Site Tools

While we'll cover the basics of what the Land F/X Site tools have to offer, expect to learn several new tricks and discover new features – such as the implementation of MLeaders into our RefNotes and Site Leader tools. We'll also play with the Zoning, Estimator, Concept, and Custom Line tools and explain when to use these powerful yet under-utilized features.

4. Common Land F/X Questions

This webinar is for those who want to know what they don't already know about Land F/X. We'll answer some common questions we've culled from technical support calls and paid personalized training sessions. We'll also highlight tools that have a lot of power but not a lot of usage, giving you the goods to pull ahead of your competition.

5. Power Tip: Site Color

Spice up your presentations by adding splash of color to your site! Save time and get a high level of rendering with the Site Color tool. It's designed to reduce or even eliminate the time you spend fine-tuning in Photoshop.

Want more?

No problem! There are plenty more videos, some general and some specific, in the Power Tips or site and hardscape related webinars.
