BIM_SIG_021 Special Interest Group April 2013

http://learn.archoncad.com/2013/04/12774/bim_sig_021-special-interest-group-april-2013/

In the session had only one attendee. Lucky for him, he was able to have

one-on-one training as part of his subscription. His main area of problem was

roofing. So in this session we looked at his roof challenges and how we can cope

with them in Vectorworks.

BIM_SIG_020 Special Interest Group April 2013

http://learn.archoncad.com/2013/04/12770/bim_sig_020-special-interest-group-april-2013/

In this session we started to look at how to control 2D graphics on elevations.

This session followed on from the recent epodcast that looked at the ability to

use the 2D graphics from the classes to give the elevations hatching it would be

live to the 3-D model.

epodcast176 - Unshaded Polygon Rendering for Elevations

http://learn.archoncad.com/2013/04/12762/epodcast176-unshaded-polygon-rendering-for-elevations/

For a long time we wanted to have the ability to automatically hatch our

elevations. There are several workarounds, but no one had yet figured out away

to make the hatching on our are elevations automatic.

This week I posted the following blogs:
SST_1304 - Creating Construction Details
http://learn.archoncad.com/2013/04/12488/sst_1304-creating-construction-details/

Creating construction details is a major part of your contract documentation.
But how should you create  these details? Is it possible to use BIM techniques
to create all your detailing?

For some projects, using BIM techniques will not give the content all the
graphic style required for detailing.

epodcast175 - Clip Cube for 3D Modeling
http://learn.archoncad.com/2013/04/12471/epodcast175-clip-cube-for-3d-modeling/

Vectorworks 2013 introduced this concept called the Clip Cube. The clip cube
is a 3-D modeling technique that allows you to hide all the 3-D objects outside
of the clip cube.

Education_m_002 - Extrusions and Modeling

Introduction

3D modeling in Vectorworks is fun and it allows you to create objects that have
never existed before.
