SST_1105 – Textures in Vectorworks 2011 and up

Textures have changed dramatically with Vectorworks 2011. Most of the tricks that you know from earlier versions of Vectorworks need to be re-learned. Textures in Vectorworks can make your designs come to life.

Textures can help your clients see what you really have in mind. You can use textures to make things reflect, make things see through, and so on. Textures are the things that make your drawing stand out and have a bit of zing. They can be created inside Vectorworks and can be created from digital images, or from shaders (built-in mathematical descriptions of textures).
