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
Designing landscapes with sustainability in mind is no longer a matter of preference, but one of meeting jurisdictional requirements. Site designers are increasingly leaning on design software and online resources to make their current design workflows easier, and also to help meet the new obligations in water-efficient site design. By incorporating the water needs of proposed plants, designing hydrozones for irrigation and calculating water budgets, design applications help you to plan for beautiful landscapes that maximize water efficiency.

More than ever, due to COVID-19, people are spending more time at home and therefore have found issues that they want to work on within homes. Kitchens have become a multi-functional space and this webinar will help you work on those little details.
As part of our new webinar series for residential interiors, join Kesoon Chance, industry specialist at Vectorworks, Inc. and Stephan Mönninghoff, co-owner of extragroup, to explore how to get your space design to suit your needs. This webinar will showcase the process of custom designs from conceptual modeling with extrudes, development with the parametric cabinets, and construction details with interiorcad within Vectorworks.
Learning Objectives
As each generation has changed, so has the experience of Sunday church service. In some churches, services have become more technical involving a stage, lighting designs and programming for special events. Join Andy Bentley, Central Production Director at Elevation Church, as he shares his journey as a lighting designer navigating a difficult industry. See Bentley’s tips and tricks on rendering, organization on files and sheet layers, and collaborating with internal teams.
Learning Objectives
Spend more time designing and less time documenting by transitioning from a 2D to a 3D workflow. The benefits go beyond visualization aspects of 3D modeling. Creating a Building Information Model (BIM) will allow you to largely automate your workflow because BIM objects have built-in data that can be extracted using documentation tools. Sarah Barrett, Associate AIA and Senior Architect Product Specialist of Vectorworks will be explaining the purposes of the tools as well as how to efficiently document your model. Join this webinar to maximize your data automation and leverage smart tools for documentation and drawing.

During COVID times, going out to movies and theaters has been put on hold. Just like home offices are a new trend, architects, designers, and contractors have seen a spike in new commissions based on renovating and transforming dead spaces into family entertainment rooms. In a new webinar series for residential interiors, join Wes Gardner, senior product specialist at Vectorworks, Inc., to learn how you can get these projects started in record time by adopting a new approach to producing drawings and takeoffs. If you are already familiar with digital drafting and have started integrating 3D modeling into your daily workflow, then this is the webinar for you.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Deliver better buildings faster and for less money with BIM. The biggest advantage of BIM capabilities lies with the owner. Our industry needs to continue to develop our delivery methods through the use of BIM, which gives our industry the ability to serve our clients better by establishing budgets much earlier in the process, reducing risk to the owner and virtually eliminating the “VE Stage” of a project. In this webinar, learn how to use BIM to accelerate schedules by involving sub-consultants earlier into our process and to reduce the cost through the elimination of the constant “round up” that takes place through the current system.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Do more with your BIM model using data visualization. More and more parameters are needed in a BIM process, so maintaining the quality of the data can be difficult. Learn how to integrate tools like the data manager and data visualization for your quality assurance workflow to help minimize data discrepancies with your 3D models. Join Luc Lefebvre and Sarah Barrett to learn how advanced BIM tools can enhance your workflow, reduce errors, and increase quality output for your 3D models.

3D modeling tools offer a wide range of possibilities, so choosing the correct software for your workflow can be challenging. Join Luis Ruiz and Wes Gardner to see various methods using 3D modeling to create millwork and casework objects in Vectorworks. Learn how to improve your Interiors workflow to create custom building elements such as bulkheads, furniture, and ceiling treatments.

Sharing your BIM with your consultants has many advantages including model checking and coordination. In the end, architects and engineers still have contractual obligations to produce a legal set of documents pertaining to a project being designed. In this training, you will learn how you can use various files from your consultants and put them to use with your architectural model to provide a fully integrated and coordinated set of drawings.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Understanding site conditions and their relationship to the built environment is critical to successful architectural design.Having the ability to accurately represent, coordinate, and integrate site conditions into your workflow will increase opportunities for design and overall project success. Attendees will examine various tools for successful planning and modeling of sites, from the planning phase all the way through to construction documentation.

Even though interior architecture is often perceived as an after-thought, many architectural firms are now focused on adaptive re-use projects and developing inspiring interiors portfolios. Follow along with Eastlake Studio's journey to transform their approach to design by adopting new 3D workflows to take their creative process in new directions. In this webinar, Luis M. Ruiz, Int. Assoc. AIA, and his guest presenter Nicole Tabata, AIA, director architect at Eastlake Studio, will explore how to transition from a traditional 2D workflow to a fully integrated data-driven 3D modeling process.
