Creating Spot Levels using Polygons. One of the challenges with a site model is that if you want to use the site model for height to boundary calculations (or recession planes), the site model has to have information outside the boundaries of the site.

Import a Survey Drawing a 3D Information. When you import a survey file, you often have the choice whether you want to import the information as 2D or 3D.
Importing an Image file.
Grade Tool. The grade tool can be used to show the existing grade (or slope) of the site from the start to the end of the grade line. This is a reporting mode.
Assigning a Texture To a Site Model. In Vectorworks 2011, you can assign a texture to an overall site model. In previous versions, Vectorworks was not able to treat the site model an on overall object for texturing. But now, you can assign a texture to the whole site model.
Creating a Solar Study – Lighting. In order to complete the solar study, you need lighting, and you need a light for each time and day that you want to check.
Creating a Solar Study – Site Model. You don’t need a site model, but if you have a site model, you get a more accurate representation of the shadows of the adjoining buildings on the proposed site and development.
This is a case study on creating a 3D model of a swimming pool, and using the model to create plans, sections, and details. We will model the swimming pool, in 3D. You could use the model to create planes, sections and details (but this isn’t in the notes). We…
Grouping all the information will make it easy to copy and paste the pool onto the site model. The Site Modifiers will still work, even in the group.
