3D Modeling Special Interest Group October 2018In this session, we demonstrated creating hybrid objects, creating footings for a building slab by using the Extrude Along Path command, and changing Title Block styles.
In this session, we covered the three Vectorworks stair tools, discussed how to handle multi-layer objects, and showed how to isolate part of a complex model so that you can work on it more easily.
Intermediate Worksheets Worksheets are extremely powerful, but to get the most out of them, we need to understand some of the more complicated techniques. That’s what this workshop is all about.
What Is a Worksheet? Worksheets are like simple spreadsheets. Worksheets allow you to calculate and report information from your Vectorworks files. This is a powerful technique. It has been available in Vectorworks for many years. You can use worksheets to find objects, report them, and do calculations on the objects…
1810 What’s New in Vectorworks 2019 Each year, Vectorworks releases its new version. It usually has a huge number of new or improved features, and this year is no different. It can be difficult to separate features from benefits. Just because it is a new feature, it does not mean…
as we do every year, we look at the important features of the new Vectorworks. We do not look at everything, we look at the most important features only.
I am pleased to announce that I have completely updated and expanded courses for Vectorworks 2019: Foundation Course BIM (Building Information Model) Foundation Course The purpose of this course is to teach you the basic concepts of Vectorworks. It is tempting to try to avoid these basic concepts, but these are the…
CameraMatch is a huge timesaver. First, CameraMatch saves the time that it would take you to model the existing surroundings. Second, CameraMatch saves you the time it would take to match your current view to a photograph. Many people think that they should only use CameraMatch for large projects. I…
One of the new techniques with class filtering (see Vectorworks Tips 459) is the ability to add tags to classes. You can add more than one tag to a class so that you can choose to have the class appear in more than one filter.
In this session, we looked at changing the graphic attributes of hardscapes and how to control their elevation, including the difference between project and layer elevations.
