  • Interactive Workshops September 2019 Vertical Transport

    There is a range of tools for creating Vertical Transport (stairs, ramps, escalators, and elevators). Not all of these tools are available for every version of Vectorworks. For example, no tools are available on the Fundamentals workspace, the Landmark workspace has some tools, and the Architect workspace has other stairs….
