As a valued member of the Vectorworks community, we would like to welcome you to this exploration file. This project documents several phases involved in the ground floor extension of an existing building and subsequent commercial fit out of its interior. The existing architecture is based on The Cube building, another sample file available from Vectorworks, designed within the context of a real world location in central London.

The process for organizing Existing, Demolition and Proposed/New elements is included in the file and both Category A and Category B interior design / fit out phases are documented. A suggested approach for including several design options in a single file is explored, as is the use of rendered visuals, technical drawings and embedded data, all generated from the associative model geometry. Saved Views and Sheets showcase the processes used to create a data driven model, using features such as, record formats, IFC data, data visualizations, and reports.

We suggest running through the Saved Views and Sheet Layers (in the Navigation Palette). You might then explore further via the individual Design Layers. Feel free to adapt any of the resources you find in the Resource Manager.

An accompanying webinar can be accessed from the Vectorworks University - entitled Commercial Interiors: Creating a Modern Workspace
