The purpose of this file is to demonstrate a combination of scenic, lighting, event, and production management workflows inside Vectorworks Spotlight. The name of the awards show is the Apex Awards. The show celebrates the highest achievements in innovation, creativity, and success.
This file is intended to be used as an example of a simple live performance environment. The main example is the use of Xform items in Vision to control movement to any object in Vision. The included Vectorworks file can be used for adding items such as scenic elements, additional lighting devices, projectors, video screens etc. within the Vectorworks workflow and assigning to Design Layers and Saved Views for organized export with MVR to Vision. In addition there is also a GrandMA 3 Showfile, Exported MVR files and Patch Sheet for the existing elements.
The purpose of this sample file is to showcase models that can be made in Vectorworks Fundamentals. These models are created as 2D/3D (hybrid) symbols that are fully modeled using in-house Vectorworks tools, rendered in Renderworks, and exhibited on sheet layers to show a "fabrication drawing set." There are several saved views and sheet layers to show the models, and the symbols can be shared or imported into other Vectorworks files. Start with the first saved view to begin.
This project is for the design and implementation of a renovated AV system of a hotel’s conference center. The conference center consists of 8 breakout rooms (four medium-sized classrooms and four conference-style meeting rooms) and a small technical closet.
This ConnectCAD project uses the examples of the fictional Vectorworks Store to learn and understand the use and power of the related tools. In this file, there is also a practice area where you can work with the basic tools before transitioning into the 3D model.
One of the classic show planning scenarios that is encountered daily in the event industry is providing the local lighting for a touring band. Typically, the bands rider will spec a 2 or 3 truss line system with lights and possibly a small floor packet. This sample project is designed to show how the Spotlight cable tools suite can be used to plan the cabling and distribution for this sort of day-to-day job. Since this is a focused project, it doesn't include planning rigging or audio, beyond a basic truss count. The sheet layers provide a sample of how the documentation for the on-site crew can be prepared and the saved views enable you to look at how the different elements of the file have been drawn and planned.
As a valued member of the Vectorworks Community, we would like to welcome you to this exploration file. We give an overview of the project objectives below, but to jump straight into exploring the project, we suggest running through the
Saved Views and Sheet Layers. This shelving unit model is inspired on a reproduction of a mid-1940s eastern European library bookcase. Crafted from iron and hardwood.
If you own a Fundamentals license and you are curious about learning how a custom furniture unit can be put together and presented, then this might be the file for you.
The Gallery 196 project is a great example of a BIM project which includes a full set of drawings, details, and Schedules. Several techniques such as Class overrides, Data Tags, and Styles are used throughout the project along with various rendering styles.
In addition, the file includes a site model, plant objects, landscape areas as well as hardscape elements. For 2023, the Gallery project gets several new reports in the form of door types and window types using the new Graphic Legend tool. There’s
also an updated version of the Elevation Benchmark shown on Design Layers as well as sections and elevation sheets. Spaces were updated to use Data Tags in both plan view and in section to show room names and numbers. A new site model that shows several
of the new site improvement features is also provided.

This Fashion show exploration file illustrates how an entire workflow can be implemented using Vectorworks. From conceptual design to fully rendered 3d model. Once the model has been created, Lighting Plots, Seating Staging and Speaker Layouts can be added. Once your event is complete, you can ensure safety with our Braceworks calculation plugin. In this file, you will also see a selection of ConnectCAD Schematics keeping all of your event planning needs in Vectorworks and reducing the reliance and cost of additional software.

Views and Sheet Layers (in the Navigation Palette).
This Residential Kitchen exploration file illustrates how a project can be taken from conceptual stages to a fully rendered model with Vectorworks and the additional plugin Interiorcad (designed for custom joinery). Once the model has been
created, construction drawings, cutting lists and part layouts can be printed or exported directly from Vectorworks.
This project was completed in collaboration with our Vectorworks partner Interiorcad, you can view the webinar accompanying this file on the Vectorworks University (Residential Interior Drawings: Kitchen). The project
uses out of the box Vectorworks tools for the modeling of the building, the freeform conceptual modeling and layout phase and for standard cabinetry. The Interiorcad plug-in was used for generating cutting lists of the custom cabinetry including fixtures
and fittings, all with accurate construction joining details i.e. mitered joints and drawer handle profiles.
Please note that without Interiorcad installed, those cabinets created with the plug-in are not editable.
As targets for achieving Net Zero carbon in both construction and operation are set by governments and legislative bodies, the need to reduce embodied carbon emissions becomes more critical, as does the requirement for intelligent digital tools to assess
it. Embodied carbon represents the total sum of emissions required to produce goods (such as a building material) or activities (such as transporting those materials to the construction site), hence the emissions are considered to be ‘embodied’ in
the product.
Vectorworks Embodied Calculator (VECC) is the in-built tool for Embodied Carbon Calculation in Vectorworks that provides an integrated modelling and carbon assessment workflow, allowing designers to quickly measure the impact of their Material and Product
choices on the carbon footprint of their project.
For instruction on how to use VECC, read the User Guide contained in the download folder or open Vectorworks file in the same folder and read the User Guide in the Sheets using the Navigation palette.
As a valued member of the Vectorworks community, we welcome you to this exploration file. This retail store file provides three distinct departments within the overall building shell, including fashion, homeware, and furniture areas in addition to an
in-store cafe.
The file is a 3D model with associated, linked drawings, data, and presentation sheets, allowing you to explore a wide range of Vectorworks tools and capabilities.
To jump straight into exploring the project, we suggest
running through the Saved Views and/or the Sheet Layers.
