In this session we looked at 3 main issues: a window with a sloping head with no transom, classes with walls and components and rendering viewports. Topics Covered:

• creating a standard window
• using the custom sash options
• using the command “Convert to group” on a standard window
• editing the 3D window to create a window with a mullion
• creating a symbol from a 3D model
• editing the window settings to “Use symbol geometry”
• editing the symbol height so that the Vectorworks Window object is at the correct height
• creating the 2D portion to create a hybrid symbol
• assigning the window to the window schedule
• changing the relationship of the line thickness using the overall wall class and the wall component classes
• controlling classes in viewports
• using your eyedropper tool with viewports
• creating a Renderworks Style
• artistic Renderworks Style
