[Archoncad] Weekly Digest Email 14 (blogs and movies for Vectorworks)

This week I posted the following blogs:

Archoncad Plugins

Over the years I have created several extra tools, or plug-ins, for Vectorworks.
These are very useful on older verisions of Vectorworks and some these are still
useful on the latest versions.

Education Resources

When you're teaching Vectorworks it's important for the students to understand
the basic concepts. Sometimes these basic concepts are abstract, and it can be
difficult for some students to understand how these basic concepts can affect
their later working.

Education_SIG_002 Education Special Interest Group February 2013

This was the second session for the education special interest group, and again
we spent a lot of time discussing the structure that would be appropriate for
educational purposes.

Education_SIG_001 Education Special Interest Group February 2013

This was the first session for the education special interest group. We spent a
lot of time discussing the structure that would be appropriate for educational
purposes.

BIM_SIG_018 Special Interest Group February 2013

In this session we looked at detailing again. We have covered detailing in an
earlier manual, but there are always questions about how to finish the project
and detail. Of course, how you detail depends on your drawing philosophy.

BIM_SIG_017 Special Interest Group February 2013

In this session we looked at detailing. We have covered detailing in an earlier
manual, but there are always questions about how to finish the project and
detail. Of course, how you detail depends on your drawing philosophy.

cadmovie884 - Animations - Part 8

Animationworks Light Object - The AW Light Object gives you control over then
the lights start, stop, rate of dimming, and intensity.

cadmovie883 - Animations - Part 7

Animationworks Sliding Object - As with the Rotating Object, the sliding object
uses a 3D only symbol.

cadmovie882 - Animations - Part 6

Animationworks Rotating Object - This object does not need a path, so you can
place it anywhere.

cadmovie881 - Animations - Part 5

Animationworks Moving Object and Path - This works in a similar way to the
camera object. You create the moving object path, then you attach a symbol to
the path.

cadmovie880 - Animations - Part 4

AW Camera - The AW Camera is designed to work with the camera path object. You
have to place the camera path in the file first before you place the camera.

cadmovie879 - Animations - Part 3

AW Camera Path - This tool is used to create a 3D path for an AW Camera. When
you create the 3D path, you can get around the problems with the standard
Vectorworks animation, where it can be hard to create a smooth turn.

cadmovie878 - Animations - Part 2

Simple Animation (Move Along Path) - Move along a path allows you to set up a
movie that walks (or flys) through your design. It works by using a series of
views. Each view is a keypoint in your movie.

cadmovie877 - Animations - Part 1

Simple Animation (Orbit) - The easiest animation to make is called and Orbit
movie. This movie flys around the model. It is effective for showing the outside
of a building or an object. You would not use this animation to walk through a
building.

What Happened to archoncad.co.nz?

You might have ended up at this web site because you were looking for
www.archoncad.co.nz. So why are you here. Well, for the past year I have been
planning on changing my web site so that it can be more user friendly, so that
it can contain all my movies and manuals, and so that it is searchable.
