Vectorworks Design Summit Day 1

The Design Summit opened with several session of advanced training. These sessions were intensive 3 hrs of training on Landmark, Architect and Site Modelling. I wish I had been able to enjoy the Architect Session – it was focussed on layers, levels and stories, something I have done a few times on this site. It would have been been good to see another point of view.
My training was focused on Site Modeling. This is always a good topic and a topic that often causes confusion. I tried to go slow with this training so that the attendees took in the basics fully. We had enough time for the attendees to work through the topics as I presented them. 
This is a big topic – there is so much to cover. I think it is important to make sure that users understand the basics. So we started with the basics and worked though those, step-by-step.
These are the topics we covered:
Making a Site Model

• Importing Information
• Import a Survey Drawing as 2D Information
• Import an Image
• Import a Survey Drawing a 3D Information
• Creating 3D Information
• Creating the Site Model

Site Modifiers

• Roads
• Pads and Grade Limits
• Cut and Fill Calculations
• Hardscape
• Stake Object
• 3D Polylines
• Texture Bed
