This is a webinar for Novedge, one of the largest online resellers of Vectorworks. The webinar looked at how to create a very quick 3D model of a building without using the usual architectural elements. During the webinar I create a building, cut holes for windows and doors and create…
Shell Solid. This tool looks very easy to use, but it can be used to create complex shapes. Many people think that this tool is only useful for shelling out small objects. You can use this tool to shell out an entire model to create a building, or you can…
In the past, you would have to make an oversized object in order to cut a portion away. With the Taper Face tool, you can create the object and then taper the edges that you want. I think this is a much faster way of editing your 3D models.
This is a great tool for twisting your 3D objects. There are other ways to make a twisted object, but there aren’t any other ways to twist an existing object. This tool makes it so quick and easy to change your objects. Check out these Special Interest Groups on 3D…
This is the first session from a new Special Interest Group. There have been requests to have more 3D Modelling and this is the result, a special group just to look at 3D things. These sessions are suited to Architects, Landscapers, set designers, exhibit designers and anyone that wants to…
I have many clients that tell me that they do not need to work in 3D. They might have a point, they are required to submit drawings as plans and elevations and their clients are not demanding 3D visualisations. I would say that they can get away with 2D, but…
This movie shows you how you can take a curve, convert it into a NURBS and use this to create a concrete structure. Using the rotate and mirror tools you can quickly duplicate the first curve, then mirror the resulting concrete structure to create a series of them. When you…
Loft With Birail Sweep (Two rails). Lofting with Birail Sweep is similar to the Loft with one Rail, but now Vectorworks will fit the curve between the two rails, pulling the shape in or out to suit the rails.
Loft With One Rail. A loft with one rail is like extrude along the path.
Loft Surface, Loft with No Rail.
