3D Modeling – Part 4
Split Tool -This is not just a 2D tool, you can use it for 3D modeling.

Push/Pull Tool – This tool allows you to push and pull your shapes around.
Creating a Tapered Extrusion – Another way to create simple shapes, where the shape changes from top to bottom.
Creating an Extrusion – You can create simple shapes with this technique.
Vectorworks comes with several libraries full of furniture and electrical appliances. But sometimes you want to have something which is more specific to the country you are from. I have created some symbols that match the F&P objects like dishwashers, stoves, ovens, and range hoods.
Auto-Hybrid – I think this is going to be a huge benefit when you are creating your library. I often use imported objects from manufacturers to create my 3-D parts of symbols. But it has always been a lot of work to trace over the 3-D objects creation the 2-D portion…
Physical Sky – Heliodon Changes – The physical sky is a new background in Vectorworks 2013 and it is tied to the heliodon tool. The difference between previous skies and the new physical sky is that the physical sky changes its appearance according to the time of day shown in the…
Surface Array – The surface array command is really powerful for creating complex 3-D geometry. It creates a repeating array over a NURBS surface.
Clip Cube – The Clip Cube is a new navigation feature in Vectorworks 2013. If you have a large project, for example an urban design project, when you create an isometric or perspective view, you sometimes have too much information.
New Perspective View and Walkthrough – When you change to a perspective view you have a crop object around the perspective view. In Vectorworks 2013 there is now an ability to turn this crop on or off. The walk-through tool has also changed. It used to be very difficult for people…
