A site model is a way of looking at 3D data (spot levels or contours) in a way that allows you to see complex 3D models and 2D representations. Vectorworks uses the 3D information to create the models based on the data to help you understand the 2D and 3D nature of your site. When you create a Site model Vectorworks will make an Object that can show one type of information in a 2D view (2D contours) and a different type on information if you are in 3D view (3D contours or extruded contours etc.). Using this hybrid object is a good way of combining the 2D contours and the 3D site model into one object. If you are used to earlier versions of Vectorworks then this will be a very different way of working. The Plug-In Object allows you to turn on or off the existing and proposed site models.

Site Model From a Survey and 3D Points - You can use a combination of tracing over the contours and placing spot levels. [ms-protect-content id="34491,34492,34493, 34494, 34495, 34496, 344927"][FMP]https://s3.amazonaws.com/vectorworkout/Concept+Modeling/concept05_04.mov[/FMP][/ms-protect-content]
Texture for Recessions Planes - The recession planes are easier to see and use if you give them a translucent texture. [ms-protect-content id="34491,34492,34493, 34494, 34495, 34496, 344927"][FMP]https://s3.amazonaws.com/vectorworkout/Concept+Modeling/concept05_09.mov[/FMP][/ms-protect-content]
Creating a Site Plan From a Polygon - If you can draw a polygon of the site, you can make it into a Property Line. [ms-protect-content id="34491,34492,34493, 34494, 34495, 34496, 344927"][FMP]https://s3.amazonaws.com/vectorworkout/Concept+Modeling/concept05_03.mov[/FMP][/ms-protect-content]
