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.
Learning Objectives
Is your design workflow in need of a lift? Join Tom White, industry specialist and training consultant at Vectorworks, for a webinar that will discuss common challenges in entertainment design. White will show you his innovative solutions to these problems, walking you through a complete AV design workflow — from modeled elements in Vectorworks to schematics in ConnectCAD.

During the Great Recession, landscape architect and owner of a mid-size design-build company, Joe Hanauer decided to “tech up”. His goal then was to be a one-person design-build office. Now, with labor markets tight, using technology to create efficiencies for installation crews is increasingly important. With hardware including a tablet, computer, GPS Surveyor, altimeter level and camera, combined with software for note taking, estimating, and designing this session will reveal how they are all essential to creating an efficient workflow from first call to last shovel. This session will also show how this “almost-paper-free” technology workflow can be used to run a one-person office and scaled to work with larger firms, too.

Join Jonathan Reeves, UK architect, and real-time rendering expert to learn how easy it is to upgrade your presentations with renderings, animations, and interactive cloud presentations.Understand how Vectorworks 3D models can be developed and exported to Twinmotion and easily updated.
Learn how to refine textures and lighting to produce photo-realistic renderings. Add context with landscape, plantings, entourage to produce high-quality animations. Share renderings, animations, and interactive presentations with clients with presenter.
Learning Objectives
Max Conwell from Naked Eye Ltd., will take you behind the scenes of The Void — ITV’s new Saturday night game show. The webinar will demonstrate
how Vectorworks Spotlight and ConnectCAD’s clear and concise networking and data layouts were used for the lighting design. When collaborating with the various design departments on the show, multiple file formats were produced. And, in this webinar,
Conwell will show how these formats integrated seamlessly into the master Vectorworks file. Today, face-to-face meetings are few and far between, so the clarity of communication in design documentation is vital to a successful production.
Learning Objectives
If you’re designing and building with a team, dynamic collaboration and workflow efficiency are vital to the success of the project. Join us as we explore how to achieve dynamic efficiency from concept to field. Using real-world projects and examples from their team on the ground in Colorado, Cheri Stringer of 12x award-winning TLC Gardens Design Build Firm will walk you through using graphics, applying detail, and utilizing sheet sets for construction implementation. Together we will tackle best practices for creating a project portfolio and analyze strategies for effective team execution with Vectorworks sheet sets, graphics, and 3D model visualizations.
Learning Objectives
Join David Farley, theatre and live event set designer as he shows us how he uses Vectorworks 3D models to create 3D prints to help visualise his projects. He will take us through some of his work, including 1:25 lights, furniture, full scale prop and costume elements.
Learning Objectives
Ever wonder about 3D modeling and the benefits it can provide for designers? Join Peter Kerwin, Parasolid product manager, and Mark Doubleday, stage lighting designer, in the latest webinar on 3D modeling through Vectorworks software. Kerwin will begin by discussing the importance of 3D modeling and the technology integrated into the Vectorworks 3D modeling engine. Doubleday will follow by describing some of the 3D modeling processes he used on a recent production of “Macbeth,” and how it helped him control reflected light from the glass and steel set.
Learning Objectives
BIM has a wide range of benefits and uses including model validation and coordination, and the construction industry is rapidly adopting new technologies that provide more efficiencies and better integrated project delivery. In this webinar we will discuss the BIM adoption strategies used by Studio Partington as well as how new technologies helped them provide better quality models for collaboration using OpenBIM.
Vectorworks’ partnership with its Nemetschek sister company, Solibri®, brings Vectorworks Architect users a new Solibri Direct connection. Discover how Solibri Office can help you create more reliable and accurate models for validation, checking, and coordination.
