Presented by Jaymz Wooden


Your first thought about using a particular font in CAD might have to do with its appearance, but it's equally important to consider a font's performance. That's why we always recommend using TrueType fonts rather than SHX fonts. TrueTypes look and perform great when used in CAD and PDFs, among other platforms, making them the ideal font type to use in your plans. In contrast, SHX fonts lack complete character sets, offer subpar PDF performance, and are incompatible with platforms outside of CAD. We'll give you everything you need to make the switch from SXH to far-superior TrueTypes, including tips on sourcing, installation, and troubleshooting.

POWER TIP: Lamp Color: The Temperature is Just Light
Recommended By: Land F/X

When choosing light fixtures and lamps for a landscape lighting plan, you'll encounter a number of electrical and photometric specifications such as watts, volt-amps, and lumens, as well as some more obscure ones, like color temperature. We'll go over the meaning of color temperature in the context of landscape lighting design, explain the color temperature scale, and show how to factor color temperature into your design effectively. We'll also discuss the role (or lack thereof) played by color temperature in wildlife-safe lighting.

RECORDED WEBINAR: GIS Technology - A Bright Future for Irrigation Design
Previously recorded on March 17, 2023
Presented by Hannah Conover


Geographic information systems (GIS) provide data that can prove crucial in helping designers adapt their plans to real-world conditions. Join Hannah Conover for a presentation on GIS as a potentially vital companion to CAD in the irrigation design process. Currently a student at Cal Poly State University and a geospatial relations intern at Blue Diamond, Hannah will draw on her GIS experience with Land IQ and the U.S. Forest Service to showcase the benefits of GIS, including which types of data it can integrate into your designs, how it integrates with CAD, and how it can continue to support your irrigation systems through the construction phase and beyond.
