Setting up your layers correctly is essential if you want to use Vectorworks for BIM. Vectorworks 2012 has a new organizing concept called Stories which will require you to think carefully about how you organise your project into layers and stories.
Setting up Layers – Multiple Levels – This is a two story building project, with multiple levels, but only one roof. The setting up of the layers is easy enough, but drawing the walls requires careful work.
Setting up Layers – 3 Floors 2 Roofs – Setting up a project with 3 levels and 2 roofs is similar to the previous project with 2 roofs, you just need an extra story at the lower level.
Setting up Layers – 2 Floors 2 Roofs – A 2 story building project with two roofs. The setting up for this project is almost the same as the previous project, with the addition of a roof layer to the lower story.
Setting up Layers – 2 Floors 1 Roof – For a 2 story project, you should definitely use stories. Stories will make it easier to setup the layers of the project, they will also make it easier to control the walls and slabs. If there is a change to the heights…
Setting up Layers – 1 Floor 1 Roof – For a single level project, you might be wondering if you need to use stories at all. The answer is, you can easily manage without stories, but you can easily use them. Here is a simple project. One story of the building…
How do You Control Stories? – This section will look at the general concept of setting up stories, later on we will look at a few examples in detail.
How do Stories Work With Building Elements? – The real power of stories becomes obvious when you start using stories with building elements such as walls, stairs, and so on.
