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.

Learning Objectives
Compare and contrast 2D drafting and 3D modeling workflows as they pertain to buildings.
Define the scope, strengths, and basic principles of 3D modeling using data-rich objects.
Discuss various tools and techniques used in developing 3D building models and the associated data.
Consider how various software applications can share both geometry and data — increasing the efficiency of your process.
The Vectorworks Embodied Carbon Calculator provides you with the ability to assess embodied carbon emissions through a project’s lifecycle. The analysis looks at individual materials, a project’s lifecycle stages, and benchmarks for set targets.
During the webinar, attendees will hear of standards, guidance, and legislation that drive the embodied carbon to the front of the sustainable construction conversation. Stefanovic will demonstrate assessing the carbon footprint of a design with built-in
tools that enable regular evaluations during the design process. With the Vectorworks Embodied Carbon Calculator, you’ll have the power to gather metrics and make informed decisions as you look to achieve carbon-reducing targets.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is often mistaken as a relatively new workflow, but it’s been around far longer than many of us know. BIM — at its most basic level — is a combination of geometry and data, which designers have been using for millennia.
This webinar explores the history of BIM, examines the tools influencing current BIM workflows, and offers a glimpse into future technologies for designers.

The days of designing for a discrete project are numbered. Today's most forward-thinking architects are finding it their mission to go beyond their project — in terms of both space and time — to consider, and even encourage, land-use patterns in the surrounding area, and to anticipate, and even influence, future events and unexpected consequences. Join Sarah Barrett, architect product specialist at Vectorworks, Inc., as she illustrates practices of placemaking for land-use planning and intelligent urbanism. Attendees will explore three case studies that illustrate how implementing these placemaking practices can have a positive effect on both individuals and surrounding communities.

When it comes to Building Information Modeling (BIM), one of the biggest benefits is greater collaboration with your project consultants. But what does this mean for project teams that use different software programs? And, more importantly, how can you take advantage of this improved collaboration? In this presentation, you'll learn how organizations can adopt standards based on the Open BIM initiative to achieve streamlined workflows, regardless of the software that is being used. Attendees will discover file-sharing methods such as the Reference Model workflow, as well as how ti integrate these methods with the BIM manager role. You'll also learn from a case study that proves the concept of Open BIM interoperability.
