With nearly a decade of experience in production and 15 years in IT and networking, Geoff Franklin brings a unique blend of skills to his work for Church of the Highlands. In this webinar, discover how Franklin uses structured Vectorworks Spotlight files to create memorable moments that enrich the worship experience.
Learning Objectives
Join us to see how four Vectorworks 3D modeling experts create their projects in Vectorworks Fundamentals. They’ll showcase some of the many versatile tools and workflows of the software to design and showcase their projects.
Come see the power
of solid, subdivision, and NURBS modeling, surface arrays, rendering and lighting techniques, and much more.
Learning Objectives
The updated and modernized user interface makes working in Vectorworks more efficient and easier to customize. The reorganized View and Mode bars bring a wide range of tools to the forefront, so you can decide how to organize and have everything you need right where you need it. And dark mode is now available on both Windows and Mac.
Learning Objectives
Create higher levels of realism earlier in your design process with improvements to Shaded rendering. Take advantage of unlimited shadow casting in real-time processing to assess your designs more confidently on the fly and quickly determine lighting,
camera, and material setup so you can create better visuals more quickly. The shaded options dialog now includes direct access to lighting controls, like ambient and environmental lighting, and Renderworks background controls. Access all new camera settings that allow you to define depth of field, exposure, and the ability to add bloom for camera-like effects on your shaded render views.
Learning Objectives
With new Viewport Styles in Vectorworks 2024, you'll be able to save custom viewport settings as styles, making them easily transferrable between viewports and project files. You'll be able to cut out the tedium of replicating your viewport settings and avoid errors. Create custom styles that let you change scale
or class and layer visibility so you can change from client-facing drawings to
more detailed construction plans quickly and easily. Quickly generate presentations from your section
viewports by changing class visibilities, cut plane attributes, and
visibilities at the cut plane and beyond. Easily interchange different rendering modes,
foreground and background rendering settings, and image effects. You can also
save your data visualization settings as Viewport Styles for faster
application.
Learning Objectives
Experience more freedom when transforming your models. The new 3D Dragger will always appear in front of the selected objects for easy access, and contextual handles for translation, rotation, and scale provide comprehensive and intuitive ways to transform selected objects without disruptions. Additional modes like snap-free, planar, and auxiliary rotation options give you the control you need to make your modeling process smoother.
Learning Objectives
Experience better connectivity to external project data stored in Excel files. With the new Microsoft Excel referencing capabilities, you'll be able to create a new reference in Vectorworks, meaning you can opt for automatic updates to referenced files. Additionally, you can make changes in Vectorworks and push the data back to Excel.
Learning Objectives
Streamline your design and documentation processes with improvements to structural members. Find greater control over 2D and 3D attributes, material, shape, and size of styled and instance-based parameters. And with control of auto-joining and support of the Create Objects from Shapes command, you'll save time when designing using these objects.
Learning Objectives
Enhance your workflow with a better way to create custom graphic legends. It’s now easier to align, scale, and alter the dimension of images as well as customize dynamic text. You’ll also be able to preview changes in sorting and class visibility.
Learning Objectives
Experience better control over the graphical output of your site model snapshot with new legends to help clients understand annotations. A highly customizable color scale provides all the relevant information about slope ranges and elevation values. Additional settings allow you to display customizable site model data, perfect for reference or comparative analyses. Easily visualize data and effectively make and communicate design decisions.
Learning Objectives
Say hello to the new automated Fence tool. Optimized for simplified and detailed representations, the Fence tool supports integrated posts, gates, and terrain-conforming options like raked or panel/stepped. Save significant time while designing in 2D and 3D with accurate material reporting, reducing errors in material specifications.
Learning Objectives
Track your equipment more efficiently in Vectorworks with new Equipment Lists, a unified equipment and inventory tracking process. You'll be able to consolidate all Spotlight objects in a file into concise or highly detailed reports. You'll also be able to add virtual parts and non-drawn items to your report. You'll get precise and accurate reports of necessary equipment that can be easily distributed to clients and vendors alike.
