New Website Under Construction to learn Vectorworks

It's been a few years since I updated my website. The visual knowledge base website has worked really well but the users are keen to have more of a community feel. On migrating my website to skool.com where there will be an inbuilt community function. 

I'm gradually migrating hundreds of movies from my old site to the new one and it's going really well. The new site is going to be the best place to learn Vectorworks. It's not my job to show how clever I am with Vectorworks, it's my job to explain to the users how to achieve what they need.

Here is a typical quote from a member: "I was about to give up on Vectorworks until I found your website with tutorials and workflow walk throughs. It really puts it all together for me and allows for a more efficient model /document / rendering production. Thanks again for making all this available!”

There are video courses on the website

1. Foundation course - this course covers all of the most important basic concepts that every Vectorworks user needs to know. 
2. Landscape course - this course covers all of the most important Vectorworks landmark tools and techniques. 
3. Architect course - this course covers all of the most important Vectorworks Architect tools and techniques.
4. 3-D modelling course - this course covers all of the most important 3-D modelling tools and techniques needed by most users.
5. Domestic Design course - this course focuses on using Vectorworks architect for specific domestic construction.
   

There are regular online interactive workshops each month :

1. Getting started - especially for people that are new to Vectorworks or for fundamental concepts. We spend time insuring that we understand the basic concepts first. If you are a new user, this is for you.
2. 3-D modelling - this workshop is where users bring their questions about 3-D modelling and rendering. these sessions tend to be a lot of fun with really cool 3-D modelling.
3. Architect - the sessions are especially for people trying to get the best out of Vectorworks architect. These are not always attended by Architects and designers but often by landscapers as well. 
4. Landscape - these sessions are especially for people trying to get the best out of Vectorworks  landmark. These sessions will focus on Landscaping features but this is not just limited to landscapers many Architects also attend the sessions to learn the best for Landscaping and site modelling.
5. Workshop topic - these sessions will cover a specific topic which are agreed by the users at the end of each year. They will cover a range of topics from space objects to cabinet design. Often there will be a written manual provided with each session.
