Learn to set units and scales in AutoCAD for landscape design, mastering meters and centimeters, layout accuracy, and how to manage drawing precision with blocks and scale insertion.
Master essential AutoCAD tools for landscape drafting, drawing lines, circles, arcs, squares, rectangles, and ovals, then edit with move, copy, rotate, scale, trim, offset, and stretch.
Learn to manage layout and layers in AutoCAD, create layers with LA, name site boundary, plant, and furniture, and control on/off, freeze, lock, and plotting options.
Import site photos into AutoCAD, set meters, scale to real dimensions like 23 m, and manage layers with colors and line styles for landscape base plans.
Master creating professional AutoCAD layers for landscape elements—trees, paths, walls, grass, and lighting—and manage layouts with layer states for a cleaner, faster design.
Organize project parts with intelligent layer categorization, using plant, path, and water layers, color coding, and templates to improve speed, control, quality, and design clarity.
Draft a rough landscape site plan in AutoCAD by setting scale, inserting reference images, and building layers, polylines, arcs, plants, and hatch for a professional layout.
Discover how to use xref external references in AutoCAD to import architectural plans, align zero points, manage layers, and support collaborative landscape design.
This AutoCAD for landscape design masterclass shows how to fix broken lines and clean drawings using overkill, join, fillet, trim, extend, and purge to create precise, closed polylines for accurate design.
Learn to simplify curves and geometry in AutoCAD by reducing vertex counts while preserving shape, using arc simplification, overkill, and join techniques to speed up landscape drafting.
Plan landscape designs by shaping paths, green spaces, trees, walls, stairs, and furniture, using AutoCAD tools like polyline, offset, and hatch, with proper layering and spacing.
Draw contour lines and slopes in landscape design with AutoCAD, import topographic maps, set height scales, and design paths, ramps, walls, stairs, and planting layouts using color and line thickness.
Learn to design graphic plant patterns in AutoCAD using lines, hatches, and blocks for clean, contrasting landscape plans, then store patterns for reuse and support Lumion or SketchUp.
Explore how to create and manage hatch patterns for landscape surfaces in AutoCAD, from grass and sand to stone and water, including layering, scaling, colors, and custom PAT imports.
AutoCAD for landscape design masterclass teaches managing large landscape files with xrefs and relative paths, splitting heavy projects into parts, and coordinating teamwork for faster, more reliable designs.
Learn to add precise dimensions, annotations, labels, and attachments in AutoCAD for landscape drawings, set correct units and custom dimension styles, and organize layers for professional, print-ready layouts.
This course is currently being updated.
Note: This is not a typical AutoCAD course that only teaches commands — instead, it’s a real project–based Landscape Design Course where you’ll learn through practical exercises, real site examples, and professional workflows used in real-world studios and construction projects.
Have you ever wondered how professional landscape designers transform site data and client needs into precise AutoCAD plans?
Do you know what separates a basic AutoCAD user from a landscape architect who delivers detailed construction drawings and plant schedules?
Are you looking to learn the complete workflow from site analysis to presentation plans and PDF deliverables for real clients?
In this course, you’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of landscape design drafting in AutoCAD, from initial site evaluation to advanced annotation and presentation. You’ll learn how to build professional landscape plans, manage CAD layers, create hardscape and planting layouts, and produce final construction-ready sheets.
By combining technical drafting and creative design, this course bridges the gap between conceptual thinking and real-world landscape documentation.
