Curly,
 
The LATC has it’s own standards on eligibility to take the exam. You can get info off their web site.
 
The webinars are recorded. I think if you register as a pro member thru Land 8 you can view the webinar content at your leisure. Check with Andrew Spiering (the founder of the site) on procedures.

Hi. Just joined the discussion and the section D seminar.
(1) How do I check out the 1st part of section D that I missed 6 hours ago?
(2) I’ve passed sections A and B.  B on the first try and A on the second.  I was able to take them because I received an AA in Landscape Architecture from Truckee Meadows Community College in Reno, NV in ’09.  …[Read more]

Hi all, 
 
I am retaking Section B in March and trying to focus on my weaknesses which from the diagnostic feedback seem to be the Inventory and Analysis Sections.
Would anyone have any recommendations of certain chapters to read through? (That would pertain to Inventory and Analysis) I have all the reference books for B.  I am afraid I will st…[Read more]

Please use the group forum to post questions, discussion topics, and to setup study groups, etc.
 
Thanks!

I like it a lot.  It takes you through the entire process.  the analysis, programming for the different types of designs, sustainability, grading, infrastructure, and restoring and preserving landscapes.
I’m glad I bought it, for the test and for after.

Jeffrey,
What do you think of the Russ Book?

Thanks Ray.  I am reading that book right now.  I also have Site Planning and Design Handbook by Thomas Russ

Site Analysis by James LaGro is an excellent book for B. Also, review the ASLA Code of Environmental Ethics.

Who has passed Sec. B, and what is your strategy?

I’m setting this discussion group up as an information exchange resource for people sitting for the exam. Perhaps it will be helpful in de-mystifying these sections for the users.
You can perhaps also use it to set up a long distance study group, find people local to you with whom to study, and ask questions of people knowledgeable about the…[Read more]

Great idea for a group, Jennifer. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about where I can find positive examples of design company policies/experiences and I’m eager to hear them, as well as creative, constructive discussion about ways to improve the bad ones. 
I’d like to offer a positive story so I’ll have to reach beyond my design office experience,…[Read more]

so, since we’re sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly here’s my contribution.
 
Last summer we had a pretty significant weather event. EVERYTHING in the city government shut down, schools closed, highways closed, the mayor declared a weather emergency. On the news they kept telling people STAY OFF THE ROADS; it’s not safe. On the morning of the…[Read more]

That’s great. Thank you! I’ve got your book, but I couldn’t find that one in there, shame on me if it was there..too tired! Thanks again.

Yes that was it!!! it works. Too bad there is no list of all these shortcuts, that would help a LOT. Thank you so much.

Not a bad question to ask at all.  The easiest way is to select an item with the black arrow key [or hit spacebar]. Then click the Move tool which has arrows in all directions and can be found in the Large Tool Set or the Getting Started Toolbar [or hit M on the keyboard].  After the item is highlighted and you have the Move tool selected, hol…[Read more]

Hi. I know it might sound stupid, but I still couldn’t figure out how you drag a copy in SketchUp. I can’t find any Move/Copy tool. 🙁 Hope someone can help.
Thanks.

Thanks for the help.

Does the area obstructed show up in the image after capturing? I have had it look like it was clipped, and then after saving the view for the animation it worked.
