SST_1301 – Layers and Classes

Design layers and classes are the two most important organising concepts that you need to understand in order to create drawings in Vectorworks. I still find some users are confused about when to use a layer and when to us a class to organise their drawings. I use three simple rules to decide when I need a new class, and three simple rules to decide when I need new design layers.

If you understand layers and classes fully, you should find it a lot easier to create your drawings because you will know when you should be applying a class to an object or whether you should be putting that object in a layer.
