COMMERCIAL OFFICE: CREATING A MODERN WORKSPACE

Start

As the world changes and businesses adapt, so do the office spaces that we use. More than ever, we hear about companies trying to increase efficiency of their existing office spaces and explore new ways to get employees back to work with hybrid workspaces.

Join Kesoon Chance, Industry Specialist from Vectorworks UK to discover how to build an efficient model through the “fit-out” process and ways in which you can showcase these changes to your clients.

To receive 1 AIA LU, 1 CORE AIBC LU, 1 CORE AAA LEARNING HOUR , and 1 AANB, ALBNL, NSAA CORE LEARNING CREDIT, please make sure to login and complete the quiz after watching our webinar.

HOUSE RESIDENTIAL PROJECT

HOUSE RESIDENTIAL PROJECT

Start

As a valued member of the Vectorworks community we would like to welcome you to this exploration file, provided by Vectorworks. We provide an overview of the project's objectives below, but to jump straight into exploring the project, we suggest running through the Saved Views and/or the Sheet Layers. The House Residential sample file consists of 3 files:

The first two, named House in Half an Hour, provide a simple and straightforward way to get to grips with modelling using parametric tools such as Walls, Slabs, Roofs, Windows and Doors. The first file is a template providing a blank slate with guides and instructions for quick start modelling practice. The second file shows how the model should look like once finished. The third file is a developed stage model that provides an insight into some of the more advanced workflows in Vectorworks - particularly model data processing. Materials have been used extensively, to provide both graphic attributes to objects and also as means to obtain quantity take offs, which in turn populate our Embodied Carbon Calculator and Bills of Quantities live worksheets. Energos energy analysis project settings and results can also be explored using this model.

Project organisation in these files includes a generic Storey setup and Design Layers linked with Storey Levels. A Class structure is based on the UK's Uniclass2015. Resources such as Wall Styles which work with Storey Levels can be found in the Resource Manager. This has been setup so you can immediately start modelling using those resources and project settings.

DATA-DRIVEN 3D MODELING FOR INTERIORS

Start

With more technology available to interior and architectural designers, the traditional approach to developing commercial projects is moving to exciting levels. Your workflow is no longer just about providing 2D drawings and details; great visualizations and smart take-offs can all be a part of your design process. BIM for interiors is a more thoughtful way to design, organize, and face today’s challenges in the industry. In this presentation — inspired by an elegant retail interiors project located in Tokyo by designers Mana and Takashi Kobayashi, IMA Inc. — Luis M. Ruiz, Int. Assoc. AIA, will discuss how you can increase your efficiency and win more work with an integrated data-driven 3D modeling process.

MANAGING DRAWING SETS WITH THE TITLE BLOCK MANAGER

MANAGING DRAWING SETS WITH THE TITLE BLOCK MANAGER

Start

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.

TRANSITIONING TO 3D BIM SOFTWARE

Start

With project schedules becoming increasingly more compressed, you may be looking for a new workflow that’s efficient, but also doesn’t hinder your creative process. One of the most straightforward ways to make a change in your building design process is by adopting a 3D modeling workflow. Incorporating this method will help you remain creative and meet shorter deadlines.

This presentation includes a brief history of what you draw in a building design workflow and compares the similarities and differences between a traditional, 2D workflow with a modern, 3D modeling workflow.

SHARING YOUR MODEL WITH IFC: AN INTRODUCTION

SHARING YOUR MODEL WITH IFC: AN INTRODUCTION

Start

BIM authoring software, such as Vectorworks®, allows architects and other professionals within the AEC industry to create complex, data-rich 3D models for the purpose of exploring and documenting a design. This continually growing technology also allows for new ways of sharing information among all consultants on a project. As a result, it is essential to establish an agreed-upon method and file format for information exchange between the different disciplines on a team who are each utilizing different software. In some cases, a traditional 2D line drawing exchange, such as a PDF or DWG, is needed to support those who have not entered the 3D realm. Other times, exchange of only geometry in the form of a 3D DWG may be needed for clash detection and as a “background” for referencing. However, if the file exchange needs to support Building Information Models and the sharing of geometry and data, then the IFC file format should be strongly considered.
