Released with Vectorworks 2021 Service Pack 3, Vectorworks has partnered with Unreal® Engine to create a connection to real-time rendering application Twinmotion® and other Epic Games products that support the Datasmith file format. The Datasmith SDK ensures greater fidelity of model export to maintain the accuracy of your design.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Released with Vectorworks 2021 Service Pack 3, Vectorworks Cloud Services now has folder sharing capabilities, allowing users to collaborate with team members and project stakeholders with the Sync and Edit option. The new permissions setting allows team members to work together (and even simultaneously!) on a project without continuously sharing multiple file versions.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Released with Vectorworks 2021 Service Pack 3, Solibri Direct allows Vectorworks users to create a two-way connection between Vectorworks design series and Solibri Office. This connection creates a live sync exchange between the two, making navigation and updating easier than ever before.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The Basics guide will walk you through the overall user interface, mouse interaction, and document organization. In addition, we will introduce you to the basic use of tools and commands in the software. You will become familiar with many of basic conventions used in all Vectorworks software products. This guide is recommended for both new and experienced users.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
This course demonstrates how to use the Purge Command to clean up a design file.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Say hello to a monumental addition to information modeling in Vectorworks — a resource called Materials. With Materials you can define the graphical attributes and data of building materials all in one location, including the 2D and 3D representation in plan and section views. Materials can also define construction properties, product data, and physical characteristics, providing a single source for structural, energy, and classification information. Materials can also be applied to complex, multi-component objects such as walls or floor systems, as well as to 3D-modeled objects. Like all BIM elements in Vectorworks, when a change is made to a material, any object to which the material is applied will be updated, letting you accurately report materials for your architecture and landscape architecture projects.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
This course demonstrates how to create custom saved views to increase productivity.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
In this course, we will discuss the Autosave functionality in Vectorworks and how to set it up to best support your workflow.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Utilizing a file structure that can be implemented at initial concept and adapt as the architectural process evolves can help streamline the design workflow. Flansburgh Architects, in conjunction with the Vectorworks Architectural Support team, has gone through the steps to create a framework tailored to a variety of project types and phases of design and documentation. Attendees will obtain an understanding of the key elements that were involved in creating the file structure of templates and resources and gain insight into how this process can be adapted to meet their individual needs.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Last year, Vectorworks became the first BIM authoring program to support the Revit export format provided by the Open Design Alliance. This year, you’ll find even better quality in the modeling objects and data exchanged between Vectorworks and Revit. 3D geometries in Vectorworks now export as B-rep geometry with improved surfaces, correct colors, and metadata such as categories, family types, and other BIM data. As a result, 3D objects such as walls, doors, slabs, terrain, vegetation, and constructed features will be much improved enabling better collaboration between architects, site designers, and Revit users.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
With a new ability to reference IFC files, say goodbye to the cumbersome, manual process of reimporting IFC files from consultants who make changes. IFC referencing will minimize the work involved in managing IFC information in Vectorworks — making change management in this collaborative workflow simpler.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
This course will take a look at how to use the copy and paste commands within Vectorworks.
