Choosing the Correct Primitive Shape There are several primitive shapes that you can use to start your subdivision surface. Starting a project with the correct primitive shape will make it easier for you to model. For example, if you want to create something like the bean in Chicago (the image…
Controlling Subdivision Surfaces The basic concept of a subdivision surface is the cage. This cage controls the extent of your subdivision surface and it has all the controls to allow you to manipulate it. If your subdivision object is not selected it will not have the cage visible. As soon…
Subdivision modelling is a new area for Vectorworks. It was introduced it Vectorworks 2016 and it will allow Vectorworks to create extremely complex smooth curving shapes. Subdivision services have been around for some time as a computer technology, but not implemented in computer programs very often. The subdivision surfacing techniques…

Sometimes you will hear this technique called subdivision modelling, but what is subdivision modelling? As I started to research this topic I found that concept of subdivision surfaces been around for many years. This is a mathematical concept, but what we really need is an easy to use application of…
Creating contours allows you to create slices through a 3-D model. You might be wondering what these are for. You can use this tool to create the slices through a 3-D model so that you can then rearrange or adjust the setting out of the model.

This is one of the most useful 3D commands. In basic terms it takes a profile object and pulls it along the path, allowing you to make really complex shapes, really easily. The commanders in the model menu (Menu bar > Model > Extrude Along Path…)
