Space objects are one of the most versatile and hardest
working of all the BIM features, serving the needs of every design phase of an
architectural project. Among their many capabilities, Space objects enable you
to plan a project in 2D or 3D, verify building code and zoning compliance,
report data about themselves and their contents, assemble room finish
information, and accurately visualize their data.
Join Vectorworks Architect product specialist Neil Barman in
this webinar as he examines real-use cases for architectural and interior
design workflows that leverage the power of spaces.

As a valued member of the Vectorworks community, we would like to welcome you to this exploration file.
This project documents several common outputs for retail interior design workflows. This project imagines the redesign of an existing store located on a typical UK high street. The file is structured with Design Layers which are associated with building Story levels, as well as Classes to control the graphics outputs and visibilities of objects. Saved Views and Sheets showcase the processes used to create a data driven model, using features such as, record formats, IFC data, data visualizations, and reports.
We suggest running through the Saved Views and Sheet Layers (in the Navigation Palette). You might then explore further via the individual Design Layers. Feel free to adapt any of the resources you find in the Resource Manager.
Showcase is previz directly inside of Vectorworks and uses some new record formats in Vectorworks. A record format allows you to add data to drawing objects. Showcase uses the data inside the record format in conjunction with the DMX coming to it from a lighting board to manipulate drawing objects in exciting ways.
