Space objects are a powerful part of Vectorworks and they are an important conceptual model of BIM (Building Information Modeling). The space objects are not just a 2D or 3D object, they also carry information about the room name, the required area, the volume, finishing information, etc. Spaces in Vectorworks…
There are a couple of tools that can be used for railing and fencing, so we will look at the differences in the tools and look at the strategies for using them. Check out the knowledgebase article that goes with this session…
Site modeling should really be easier. I use simple strategies so that I can build a site model without too many problems. there are some dos and don’ts for site modeling. Provided that you do not break these rules, you should find modeling is reasonably straightforward. Site models take three-dimensional…
Once you start to issue drawings and you start making changes to those drawings to will have to track the changes to them. This is known as revisions. Vectorworks has tools and techniques typically designed to track and report your revisions. In this session, we looked at these tools and…

There are several techniques that I use to control and manage my drawings. In this article we will be covering saved views (including a brief look at layers and classes), controlling classes and layers in viewports, controlling visibilities on drawings, and multiple view panes.
Every year we look at the new features of Vectorworks. There are always some really positive features And also some features that have marginal benefits. In these sessions we like to look at the most productive or the most beneficial features.
There are only two wall creation tools, but there are a lot of techniques for dealing with walls. In this workshop, we look at some of these techniques for dealing with and controlling walls. You can also find information about walls on the knowledgebase…
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….
In this workshop, we looked at how to assign room finishes to a space, how to change room finishes, and how to create a room finish schedule. You can find more information about room finishes here on the knowledgebase…
