I had a question yesterday form a friend about showing thick lines in Vectorworks. When you draw objects in Vectorworks, you use the line weights you want for printing. But the challenge can be that what looks good on paper, does not look good on the screen. Normally, this is…
Attribute Mapping tool. This tool allows you to edit attributes on objects.
How can you control the line weights on plant tags.
Drawings. Creating the drawings is the easy part, if you have used the layers and classes we have discussed. Use viewports to make the drawings, and use the class overrides in viewports to change the graphic style of the demolished and proposed parts of the building.
This movie shows how the new planar graphics in Vectorworks 2011 helps out with 3D modeling.
Planar graphics was introduced in Vectorworks 2010, but they were not very powerful. Now, in Vectorworks 2011, they are really powerful. This movie is a quick introduction to the concept of planar graphics.
This movie introduces you to the new concept of text styles in Vectorworks 2011.
Introduction to Planar graphics
A friend was talking about his recent demonstration of Vectorworks to engineers, and how creating details was so important. I suggested he show the really quick methods to draw the detail in 2D, then convert it to 3D.
This is a trick you can do with the Protrusion/Cutout tool to speed up your 3D modeling of complex shapes.
