    DESCRIPTION

    In this challenge, we would like you to use this time to concentrate on using the 2D geometry tools to create multiple different shapes. Go wild with the polyline tool, rectangle tool, circle tool and more. Use this time to be as creative as you like with the fundamental tools you have learnt in this Core section. 

    OBJECTIVE

    The objective for this guided practise is to practise! Check your understanding of the 2D geometry tools. 

    SKILLS NEEDED

    TO START

    Within Vectorworks open a new template file by going to File > New > Use Document Template > Use the Fundamentals Metric or Imperial Template. (Remember to save your file!)

    NOTES

    In this challenge, we would like you to use this time to concentrate on using the 2D geometry tools to create multiple different shapes. Allow yourself some time to practise as these 2D tools will help in the future when using industry specific tools. Especially getting to grips with the Polyline tool.

    Good luck! 

    KEY TIPS

    1. Make sure to check the mode of the tool before you start to draw.

    2. If you make a mistake, dont worry this is practise time, just start again. 

    3. Make sure to double click if you wish to end a polyline thats open. 

    4. When using the Polyline tool, if you click in the incorrect place, backspace will unselect that point so you can carry on without restarting!

    5. Remember you can check the object you have drawn in the Object Info Palette, see about making some changes!
