Defining the site & levelsįrom there, the property, site (model), setbacks and layer setup get well defined within the file, typically giving you the fundamental physical parameters of your project. I cannot convey enough how much of a time saver this is.
#Vectorworks 2015 tutorial manual#
The manual starts you off with a task that will not just aid your first project but every future project you do – the creation of a proper template file. A project-based approachĪs with most new things, learning is best accomplished as part of an actual project, so Pickup puts you to work with this exercised-based manual. It has a permanent spot on my desk and every file I create now benefits from the knowledge in it.
As long as you have a good understanding of the application's "essentials", this manual will serve you well, whether guiding you through your first true basic BIM workflow or as a reference to keep you on track from project to project. Teaching true BIM concepts, the manual will lead you from schematic design through design development and on to construction documents. Times have changed, BIM is becoming increasingly more important all the time and a drawing file is no longer just a means to a printed end – it can be a design tool and a source for considerable information about a project.īuilding upon the skills set out in Vectorworks Essentials, the 6th edition of the Architect Tutorial Manual methodically walks you through creating an actual, simple architectural project properly with the 3D and BIM tools available in Vectorworks Architect. But using Vectorworks only in this way is a waste of the application's versatility. Used very basically, Vectorworks can create these sheets. Plain and simple, this is because projects get built from printed sheets. Until recently, prints of plans, sections, elevations and the like have been the only goal when using CAD software.
