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
NCS® is a universal language for colour communication and is an integral part of designers and architect’s toolkit when ideating, selecting and communicating colours. With an array of curated colour collections and intuitive features for finding exactly
the right colour based on the smartness of the Natural Colour System (NCS), NCS+ users can easily find the right colour palette.
In this video, Kesoon Chance, senior industry specialist at Vectorworks will discuss the NCS+ Pro integration
in Vectorworks, showing you how to get started and making it easier to take your colours from idea to production.
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
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
Given the iterative nature of interior architecture, you need a software that gives you the flexibility to explore design options throughout every stage of your project.
Join Kesoon Chance, senior industry specialist — interior architecture, and Luis M. Ruiz, senior architect product specialist, for a webinar on advanced techniques for spatial planning, modeling, visualization, and new approaches to develop your designs.
To receive 1 AIA LU, please make sure to login and complete the quiz after watching our webinar.
Learning Objectives
A new direct connection for Windows customers with NVIDIA Omniverse, an open platform for building and operating metaverse applications, keeps you at the forefront of next-gen tech by allowing you to streamline your collaborative processes by eliminating steps for the import/export process. Freely and infinitely iterate on design concepts in real time using high-fidelity models that can be instantly shared to collaborators with one click.
Learning Objectives
The reshape tool has new options to use the 3D Dragger for editing, moving, rotating, and of course, reshaping objects. These new options can be used on any object that is NURBS-based, such as cable objects, or 3D-polygon-based, like structural members. This provides you a more direct, intuitive, and effective way of editing objects in three dimensions.
Learning Objectives
Gain the ability to collaborate using the Universal Scene Description (USD) file format, which supports 3D geometry, texture, lights, and metadata. USD opens a world of powerful new possibilities for digital content exchange, giving you access to next-gen technologies with partners like NVIDIA and Apple.
