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
Get a sneak peak into what's new in Vectorworks Architect 2022.
Learning Objectives
A title block is used to identify the project, the project team as well as providing information specific to a particular sheet within a set of drawings. Title blocks also become the means for tracking the history of issued drawing sets together with revisions within a set. These features not only convey information, but let you maintain a consistent appearance throughout a set of drawings.
This document will focus on using the title block to help you maintain a coordinated set of drawings as well as manage revision and issuance information and assumes the user is familiar with placing a title block on a sheet layer. Since this document focuses on managing data, it is important that you use a title block border style on sheet layers.
Learning Objectives
Project Sharing is a multiuser environment that streamlines project management and execution. It was developed to help Vectorworks users manage projects involving multiple users, fostering effective collaboration and communication within a project team.
Learning Objectives
With the latest upgrades in Vectorworks 2022, you can say goodbye to the tedium of waiting for your 3D Hidden Line viewports to update. With Non-blocking Hidden Line, all the updating has been moved to the background, allowing you to continue your work without interruption.
Learning Objectives
Upgrades to the texturing workflow give you the ability to map textures to different faces of the same solid modeling object with the ability to rescale and more. You’ll be able to cut down your texturing time with this efficient and more perceptive way to freely create custom objects. Additionally, the render tab of the Object Info Palette has been updated to let you easily view and manage the textures on the object’s various faces. This feature is not applicable to parametric objects.
Learning Objectives
Creating precise and accurate BIM models means being able to create detailed reports and schedules. Enhancements to worksheets in Vectorworks 2022 give you just that. UI improvements make generating targeted reports, schedules and material take offs for complex objects easier. We’ve also simplified worksheets and added better visual cues to allow richer reporting of complex models. Between redesigned criteria, a new search function interface and an improved formula bar with a new set of functions, you won’t waste time wrestling with your documentation, leaving more time for your BIM modeling.
Learning Objectives
Modernization of the Attributes palette lets you organize your workspace with a more efficient tool palette layout. The new UI will also provide you with accurate and immediate visual previews. Additionally, we’re introducing a new Status Bar that can be found at the bottom of the application window. This will give you quick access to the smart cursor settings, hold snapping options and toggle snapping on or off.
Learning Objectives
In Vectorworks 2022, we’re introducing a direct link between your model and Twinmotion that allows you to make changes in Vectorworks and easily have them reflected in the linked file. By eliminating the intermediate steps of exporting and importing, you can save time and easily control the quality of necessary geometries for real-time rendering.
Learning Objectives
In partnership with sister company Maxon, Vectorworks 2022 introduces a new GPU-accelerated render mode called “Redshift” which speeds up rendering time without sacrificing the quality of your design using features like lighting, reflections, volumetric effects, camera effects and anti-aliasing.
Learning Objectives
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
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.
