This session is not a beginner session on 3D modelling, it is an intermediate/advanced session. We covered the concept of meshes, modelling history, generic solids, and a small amount of basic 3D modelling. The users wanted to look at how we could use the history of the 3D modelling to…
In this session we looked at using standard objects, such as the table, to try to create the objects that we require and we looked at 3D people. With the example of the table, one user wanted to use a simple table, but use different chairs, and another user wanted…
In this session we want to look at a few disconnected 3D modelling challenges. The first one was how to create a complex table leg, something like a Louis XIV table then we had a question about creating a specific kitchen cabinet that had to be designed to fit walls that…
In this session we looked at what’s new in Vectorworks 2017. In particular we looked at subdivision and the two new tools (mirror mode and bridge mode) and we looked at Slab drainage.
In this session we looked at what is new in Vectorworks 2017 in relation to 3D modeling, focusing on Subdivision Modeling and Camera Match. Vectorworks 2017 now includes Camera Match and Renderworks. Subdivision Modeling has been substantially improved with the inclusion of some new modes.
In this session we looked at modeling a swinging sun bed supported on 4 columns. This project will involve extrusions, extrude along path, subdivision modeling, creating drawings, lighting, and getting resources from other projects.
In this session we looked at importing a chair from the Internet and simplifying it using 3D Modeling tools and commands.
In this session we looked at ways that a 3D drawer object could be manipulated to create various widths, controlling symbol insertion points, and creating a wall recess.
In this session we covered several 3D creation tools to create curving surfaces, projecting object to these surfaces, using contours to create a new object, and creating accurate production drawings from a 3D object.
In this session we looked at various ways to create a bath object using several different 3D tool and commands, then we applied some of the same tools to creating a 3D Bookcase, finally converting it into an Auto Hybrid.
