Interactive Workshops July 2020 - Space Objects

Space objects are a powerful part of Vectorworks and they are an important conceptual model of BIM (Building Information Modeling). The space objects are not just a 2D or 3D object, they also carry information about the room name, the required area, the volume, finishing information, etc. Spaces in Vectorworks are classified as special objects and they are very useful.

We had our online sessions in July and the recorded sessions are available here for subscribers...

Creating and Managing Drawings in Vectorworks

In December, my subscribers asked for a session on the many tools and techniques that work together to create and manage drawings in Vectorworks Architect 2020. These techniques are the “bread and butter” (basic skills needed) of creating and managing drawings in Vectorworks: saved views viewports multiple view panes controlling visibilities on drawings managing viewports and classes.
 
The webinar is free and will last about one hour, including the Q&A session.

Class and Layer Filtering

I have added a movie on class and layer filtering. This is a great technique for controlling your work when you have lots of layers and classes to detail with.
I have also added a movie on how to create the class and layer tags you might need to create your class and layer filters.
