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
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
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
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
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
Enhancements to the stair plug-in object introduce interactive placement and reshaping in both 2D and 3D views. With the new rectangle and polygon mode you can easily place a stair between walls or follow a floor opening without measuring distances. Just draw a rectangle or a path and your stair object is placed. You can now use the new tool settings to set the side length, width and total rise of the stair without opening the dialog box. Not to mention you can also use control points to stretch and contract stairs to change the length or curvature within a space.
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
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
More than ever, due to COVID-19, people are spending more time at home and therefore have found issues that they want to work on within homes. Kitchens have become a multi-functional space and this webinar will help you work on those little details.
As part of our new webinar series for residential interiors, join Kesoon Chance, industry specialist at Vectorworks, Inc. and Stephan Mönninghoff, co-owner of extragroup, to explore how to get your space design to suit your needs. This webinar will showcase the process of custom designs from conceptual modeling with extrudes, development with the parametric cabinets, and construction details with interiorcad within Vectorworks.
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.
