Workflow for BIM, Part 2. Following on from last month, we continue to look at the workflow for creating a BIM project. Last month we looked at the walls and slabs, so this month we need to create the fenestration (the doors and windows).
Tips and tricks for creating doors and Windows
Flipped Doors and Windows. When you place doors and windows in Vectorworks you can choose the direction of the door, or the flip of the window.
