With project schedules becoming increasingly more compressed, you may be looking for a new workflow that’s efficient, but also doesn’t hinder your creative process. One of the most straightforward ways to make a change in your building design process is by adopting a 3D modeling workflow. Incorporating this method will help you remain creative and meet shorter deadlines.
This presentation includes a brief history of what you draw in a building design workflow and compares the similarities and differences between a traditional, 2D workflow with a modern, 3D modeling workflow.

As a valued member of the Vectorworks community we would like to welcome you to this exploration file, provided by Vectorworks. We provide an overview of the project's objectives below, but to jump straight into exploring the project, we suggest running through the Saved Views and/or the Sheet Layers. The House Residential sample file consists of 3 files:
The first two, named House in Half an Hour, provide a simple and straightforward way to get to grips with modelling using parametric tools such as Walls, Slabs, Roofs, Windows and Doors. The first file is a template providing a blank slate with guides and instructions for quick start modelling practice. The second file shows how the model should look like once finished. The third file is a developed stage model that provides an insight into some of the more advanced workflows in Vectorworks - particularly model data processing. Materials have been used extensively, to provide both graphic attributes to objects and also as means to obtain quantity take offs, which in turn populate our Embodied Carbon Calculator and Bills of Quantities live worksheets. Energos energy analysis project settings and results can also be explored using this model.
Project organisation in these files includes a generic Storey setup and Design Layers linked with Storey Levels. A Class structure is based on the UK's Uniclass2015. Resources such as Wall Styles which work with Storey Levels can be found in the Resource
Manager. This has been setup so you can immediately start modelling using those resources and project settings.
Irrigation design for efficiency, analysis, and quantity takeoffs are standard requirements in today’s world of landscape design. The powerful tools within Vectorworks Landmark allow you to place outlets while seeing product-specified performance. Connect piping in your design that’ll calculate friction loss and hydraulic pressure, while automatically sizing the lateral and mainline piping. And, you can place drip tubing while generating true GPH required per zone. Once designed, you can analyze, document, and calculate the irrigation network, creating a robust, water-efficient irrigation design.

Brian Wajda has an impressive 20-plus years in the live events industry, working as a producer, technical director, stage manager, show caller, and more. In 2020 Wajda started his own production company, Ambitious Events, and switched to Vectorworks after years of using AutoCAD and progeCAD. In this webinar, Wajda will share why he switched to Vectorworks, the value of his onboarding process, and a walkthrough of some of his recent projects.

With more technology available to interior and architectural designers, the traditional approach to developing commercial projects is moving to exciting levels. Your workflow is no longer just about providing 2D drawings and details; great visualizations and smart take-offs can all be a part of your design process. BIM for interiors is a more thoughtful way to design, organize, and face today’s challenges in the industry. In this presentation — inspired by an elegant retail interiors project located in Tokyo by designers Mana and Takashi Kobayashi, IMA Inc. — Luis M. Ruiz, Int. Assoc. AIA, will discuss how you can increase your efficiency and win more work with an integrated data-driven 3D modeling process.

Experience a significant boost to Datasmith Direct Link in Service Pack 3 for Vectorworks 2022. These upgrades will make it easier than ever to use the power of Vectorworks to design while maintaining a continuously updating model in Twinmotion. And, with Twinmotion’s libraries built into Vectorworks, you can give your design the finishing touches it needs without ever losing your work. Stay focused on the design process without ever compromising on construction details.
Learning Objectives
In the latest updates with Service Pack 3 for Vectorworks 2022, experience game-changing upgrades to the Vectorworks Nomad App and Web View capabilities based on the Unity Technologies® game engine. You can now easily open large 3D models with complex geometry from the web or your mobile or tablet device without having to sacrifice any aspect of your design. With these upgrades, you’ll find consistent tools and experience between Web View and Nomad and experience better navigation and lighting controls in Web View. You’ll also be able to easily share your work with project collaborators using a link or QR code.
Learning Objectives
With new Vectorworks Cloud Services integrations available in Service Pack 3 for Vectorworks 2022, you’ll never have to worry about losing your work again. With the latest update, you’ll now be able to connect Cloud Services to Microsoft OneDrive through the web portal. Google Drive users will also see improvements in Cloud Services which will directly integrate seamlessly with Shared Drives or Files. And Vectorworks Nomad can now sync with the iOS Files app, so any files you save on your mobile device will be saved and available to access via the web portal for any device. Lastly, users can now select new regional storage location options to comply with local GDPR and improve overall performance.
Learning Objectives
Join UK Architect, Author and Educator, Jonathan Reeves, and Vectorworks Industry Specialist, Kesoon Chance, to explore what's included in the release of the upcoming Vectorworks Service Pack 3. The latest Service Pack will provide must-have updates and new features that enhance both performance and productivity, and you will learn how these new features can benefit your projects though real world examples.
Learning Objectives
A title block is used to identify the project, the project team as well as providing information specific to a particular sheet within a set of drawings. Title blocks also become the means for tracking the history of issued drawing sets together with revisions within a set. These features not only convey information, but let you maintain a consistent appearance throughout a set of drawings.
This document will focus on using the title block to help you maintain a coordinated set of drawings as well as manage revision and issuance information and assumes the user is familiar with placing a title block on a sheet layer. Since this document
focuses on managing data, it is important that you use a title block border style on sheet layers.
Learning Objectives
Project Sharing is a multiuser environment that streamlines project management and execution. It was developed to help Vectorworks users manage projects involving multiple users, fostering effective collaboration and communication within a project team.
Learning Objectives
Welcome to the Freeform Modelling 2022 companion course!
Here you can rewatch the recordings of the sessions and have go at the modelling exercises at your own pace.
In this final part of the ABTT Vectorworks course, we will be looking at modelling complex 3d shapes, creating and applying textures. Finally exporting multiple sheets from the same project simultaneously.
Welcome to the ABTT Vectorworks Training course part 5 (Intermediate Level). Having mastered some advanced drafting techniques and simple 3d modelling techniques we now proceed to working with existing 3d geometry and manipulating the model's graphical appearance by altering existing render styles and creating new ones. We will also be looking at alternatives to section and top plan viewports by creating rendered viewports of your 3d model with the renderworks camera tool. We will also be looking at adding detail to lighting devices and displaying data fields through the use of label legends. Lastly, we will investigate the whole host of features with Vectorworks Cloud Services and how it's there to help you.
