In this meeting all we looked at was walls, Wall Styles, and assigning textures to wall. There are a lot of places for you to assign textures to walls, so the first part of the meeting is looking at those. The movie finishes with the best and easiest place to assign your…
In this session we looked at there topics: creating a custom window symbol, editing the roof of a massing model, and using a 3D polygon to modify a site model.
In this session we looked at two main topics. The first topic, and the one we spent most of our time discussing, was line types in Vectorworks 2013. The second topic was working drawings and how to stop accident removing information. In this topic we looked at design layer viewports…
In this session the users wanted to look at inserting windows in a round wall. This was an issue that I saw on a user forum. In this session we looked at the Vectorworks window briefly but spend most of the time looking at a custom window.
This was the second session for the May BIM Special Interest Group. There was only one attendee, so he was able to guide the direction of the session. We look at worksheets and creating a window schedule.
This session was well attended and the majority wanted to look at customising classes and setting up a class standard. In a recent webinar I created some classes by using custom classes from my standard. When some of my users saw this, they wanted to know how they could quickly access…
In the session had only one attendee. Lucky for him, he was able to have one-on-one training as part of his subscription. His main area of problem was roofing. So in this session we looked at his roof challenges and how we can cope with them in Vectorworks.
In this session we started to look at how to control 2D graphics on elevations. This session followed on from the recent epodcast that looked at the ability to use the 2D graphics from the classes to give the elevations hatching it would be live to the 3-D model.
In this session we looked at two main areas of Vectorworks. The first area we looked at was Constraints. Vectorworks has several constants that you can use to set up relationships between objects. The other areas we looked at were the Reshape tool and the Move by Points tool.
In this session we looked at detailing again. We have covered detailing in an earlier manual, but there are always questions about how to finish the project and detail. Of course, how you detail depends on your drawing philosophy.
