This is not the only way to do this (cehck out tip 349 comming later) but it is one way. The challange is to get an object to turn the corner. If you extrude an object, split it, then mirror it, you can create teh object you want.
We started the session by looking at some renderings that were recently done by one of the users. Then we looked at some of the new features in Vectorworks 2016, subdivision modelling and marionette.
The main part of this session was around image props. The attendees want to look at the height of the image props, how they were created, and how they can incorporate these into plants. After that they want to look at some 3-D modelling.
This session was the day that Vectorworks 2016 was announced, so some of the attendees wanted to know what was new. We started by looking at what is change with site modifiers.
In this session the users want to look at a couple of things. The first thing they wanted to look at was how to make a 3D symbol of a refrigerator read better in elevation and perspective. This involved editing a symbol that was already created, and the symbol also…
In this session the users wanted to look at a stair that had non-standard treads on the lowest two steps. They wanted the steps to fair out at the bottom and they wanted a newel post at the end of the standard handrail.

In this session we looked at a commands called Create Drape Surface. This command can be used to create a surface that covered objects, you can often use this to create a smooth copy of a site model. When you use it it looks like you have thrown a blanket…
