The Shandong Agricultural University Landscape Computer Designers Training program has been conducted nationwide since 1999. Through a one-month intensive training, students systematically master computer-aided design technology and gain the ability to work independently. The training materials have been refined and revised multiple times after six years of practical use. This book is compiled from the lecture notes of the main instructor. It is suitable for design professionals in the landscape industry to self-study computer drafting technology. When used for teaching in universities or vocational colleges for landscape design majors, it can be arranged for 40-60 classroom hours.
