With later versions of Vectorworks you can follow out the center of your joinery unit without using the solid modeling commands. You can use working planes, basic tools, and the Push/Pull tool.
when you have hollowed out the middle of your joinery unit, you can then create shelves using planar objects and extrusions.
How to get started creating a joinery unit. Start with a rectangle and then use the extrude command all the Push/Pull tool.
You can control the graphic on a massing model, but you can not use the Attributes Palette. The graphics on a massing mode are controlled by the classes on the massing model.
One of the new features in Vectorworks 2011 is the ability to use the camera to create a viewport. If you use this technique, you do not need to create a crop object, and you can edit the camera settings after the viewport is made, if you need to change…
Push/Pull tool. If you have two objects, like a block and circle, you can subtract the circle from the block, or you can add the circle to the block. It all depends on the direction of the push/pull.
Push/Pull Tool. This can be used to replace the extrude command, add solids, subtract solids, and so much more. It is very quick to use as well. It is now time to stop using Sketchup for quick modeling, Goodbye Sketchup!
The Pilaster tool can be used to add projections to walls. They can work well, but you can not add a door or window to the pilaster.
If you have an older version of Vectorworks, you can use walls, Pillars or Pilasters to draw projections.
