New knowledgebase article posted about floors and slabs. Floors are useful for creating horizontal planes: floors, patios, steps, etc. Slabs are more complex, allowing you to create components and complex floors that include a finish, structure, ceilings, etc. Check it out here…
New knowledgebase article posted about columns and pilasters. Columns are used to create vertical elements. Columns, obviously, and posts, floor piles, and vertical objects. Columns can have a base, a capital, and structural and architectural components. They are powerful and should be used. Check it out here…
In this session, we covered using the Railing/Fence tool, working with fence symbols, adding a Master Snap Point to symbols, employing the Send to Surface command with symbols, and modifying fence symbols more easily with the Move by Points tool, as well as setting up detail tools and a detail…
In this session, we looked at how to join two hollow pipes together. This led us on to how to go back in history to edit a fillet or Shell solid. Finally, we looked at slabs.
Drawings need title blocks. In this session, we looked at the Title Block tool in Vectorworks. We covered step by step how to work with both a title border and a title block. Title blocks in Vectorworks now use object styles, similar to doors and windows. We modified a standard…
In this session, we looked at cameras: activating and deactivating cameras, using cameras to create viewports, and copying cameras from one file to another.
In this session, we discussed ways of adding a tile texture to a bathroom wall, created a stepped wall by using a 3D object on a different design layer and the Fit Walls to Objects command, and used image props to create artwork for adding some realism to project renderings……....
In this session, we built a bandstand with a curving, oval-shaped roof. The project allowed us to review 3D modeling basics, working planes, the Project tool, Subdivision modeling, and the Bend Solid tool.
In this session, we looked at making an accessible part through a site and we looked at constructing a curved retaining wall.
Sections are a vital part of creating drawings. Vectorworks has tools and commands to create, control, and edit section viewports. In this workshop, we looked at what a section is, how to create sections (using a few different methods), and finally how to control the visibility of objects in front…
