In this workshop we will learn how to draw a deck in Vectorworks using a few different methods so you can create drawings for a deck, and which method makes it most productive to draw and quantify the timber in the deck.
Fixing any framing member decking.
Creating the 3D part of the deck, using the Floor… command.
Creating a report, listing all the framing members.
This technique uses the framing member and the Create Joists from Ploy… command to create the decking.
The 2D work was useful, the 3D works was better, but not easy to count. Now we can look at a method that is quicker to create the information and easier to count. The only thing with this method is that you have to have Vectorworks Architect or Designer. If…
Adding a 3D Stair to the deck.
Creating the 3D footings and plies using columns.
Creating the 3D part of the deck structure, using the Floor… command.
Drawing the bearers, using rectangles.
