Interactive dimensioning – you can use associative dimensions to move walls.
Dimension Exterior Walls – Vectorworks has the utility to dimension all the exterior walls. If you choose your settings correctly this can be really useful at an early stage of the design process.
Drawing Existing Walls – After you have created a wall style, you can draw the walls quickly.
Creating Existing Wall Style – When you are drawing a renovation project you need to draw the existing walls and the demolished walls. Use A wall style for each type of wall.
Creating Walls from Your Model – You can easily make the spaces into walls by tracing around them.
In previous versions of Vectorworks, you were unable to tell Vectorworks where in the wall you should put the wall framing.
Wall Sculpting – Wall Projection – You can use the wall projection add a 3D shape into a wall. The wall stays as a wall, so you can still insert doors and windows into the wall.
Wall Sculpting – Wall Recess – You can use the wall recess to cut out a 3D shape from a wall. The wall stays as a wall, so you can still insert doors and windows into the wall.
