Roof Framing. Roof framing uses the Framing Member tool, but we can get Vectorworks to calculate all the rafters, beams and purlins, by using the Roof Framer command. In order to use this command, you need to have Vectorworks Architect or Designer.
Wall Framing. The wall framing does not use framing members to make the wall frames, it uses a program to calculate all the parts. The resulting 3D model of the wall framing is a combination of extrusions and meshes.
If you want to frame a floor, but you lack the framing member, you can use a floor object.

3D work is really fun, but it might be confusing how to get started. The special interest group this to help you understand how to get started with 3D modeling. Depending on the users that attend, We could be looking at simple 3D modeling, or we could be looking at…
In this session, we covered how to set up the architectural and structural components of Column objects and how to have their type, amount, and cost show up on a report. We also demonstrated how to use the Create Similar Object tool and discussed tips for using more than one…
In this session, we discussed building a structure that you want to reuse, such as a wood shed, turning the structure into a symbol and importing that symbol into another file; we also covered using the Renderworks Camera—including turning a camera view into a viewport—and using the Clip Cube for…
Introduction To The Resource Manager The Resource Manager is an extremely important part of your Vectorworks interface. It allows you to look for resources (hatches, line styles, wall styles, plants, et cetera). So it’s important that we understand how to use it because it is will make you more efficient and…
