When you create a pad you can choose to set that pad to a slope. You can control the start and direction of the slope using the slope indicator on the pad object. The bottom of the slope will use the elevation from the object info palette.
These are your first type of site modifier. They are usually flat, but you can add a slope to the pad if you want. Use pads to create flat or sloping areas on a site model. Pads can be square, rectangular, round, polygonal, any shape you want…
In this session we looked at keeping accurate time for a job whilst working in Vectorworks, the new site modelling features in version 2015, creating the banks of a pond that have a constant slope, and how to create underwater steps for the pond.
In the session we focused on site modifiers and site modeling in Vectorworks 2015. There have been some important changes in Vectorworks 2015. One of the most important changes is the ability to see errors in your site model visually. This may not sound like much in improvement, but everybody…
In this session we look at some of the new tools in Vectorworks 2015 and how they relate to site modelling. The project looks simple enough, because it’s a gently sloping site that needs a car park, an entry road and an exit road. There are also several hills that…
In the session we looked at importing a DXF file of a complex site, using this information to create a Vectorworks site model and then creating a car park and road for this site.
Creating / modifying a path on an existing site model and the difficulties of overcoming the challenge to generate an accurate 2D and 3D representation.
This session carried on the project with the 3 buildings on the site. In this session we looked at site modeling, hardscapes and roading. We also looked at the Landmark workspace to see if there are tools that would suit architects.
In this session we looked at site modifiers and how to create a sloping area of paving, how the Extract Tool works and how we can use it to create site modifiers. Site modifiers seems to be an area that causes a lot of confusion, so in this session we…
Continuing on from the Special Interest Group 033, were now starting to take our project into the conceptual design drawings for a single unit. You have a choice – you can create your drawings in a separate file (the referenced house file) or you can use the combined site plan…
