When designing, Architects, Landscape Architects and Designers need to create drawings that not only convey design intent, but also use graphic symbols to organize, label, and coordinate those drawings. Vectorworks has several smart marker tools to better coordinate drawings and to give users more control over their graphics and drawing standards.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The Structural Grid tool lets you create a structural grid in both 2D and 3D views. The tool creates grids on design layers that can then be viewed in viewports in plan view, elevation and section as well as in detailed views. You can create a standard perpendicular grid, or a custom grid for unique conditions and building orientations complete with automated numbering of reference bubbles.
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.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
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
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
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
Software interfaces with a lot of options can become unwieldy to users — especially when you need to navigate through one or more dialog boxes and option tabs to make minor edits. With Vectorworks 2020, eliminate frustrations by directly editing fields in a list browser, such as the Navigation palette or the Organization dialog. Directly edit common items such as class, layer, viewport, or sheet names, increasing your workflow efficiency. All you have to do is click and edit.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
In this overview, you will explore the Resource Manager. Learn how to navigate the Resource Manager and access resources.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Unlike other software programs that limit your use of project data, Vectorworks brings data visualization to the live design environment. Quickly change objects’ attributes using data parameters that allow you to view everything from errors to the impacts of your decisions — all while you’re designing. And because it’s in the live design environment, you can edit an object’s data as you’re designing and see the impact of those changes; for example, you can have doors turn red when they lack fire protection. You will also experience greater efficiency in your process by being able to visualize data for error/quality checking and work validation.
