Day
1 ~ The Foundations Of VectorWorks - the environment
Unlock
the secrets of making VectorWorks a more efficient tool and
you a more productive user. Learn what everyone working
with the program should know.
We
will look at how to work within the overall environment and
parameters of VectorWorks in a lecture/demo format which is
informal enough for people to ask questions. This seminar will
get the new
user up and running quickly and will also provide the experienced
user with
many useful tips and time saving hints. Topics we will cover include
setting
up a sheet, Preference settings and what they can do for you,
the different
types of objects in VectorWorks, using the Constraints palette
in conjunction
with the smartcursor and many other items.
Those who are attending this seminar should have a basic understanding
of their computer operating system and know how to work with it.
Day
2 ~ Beyond the Foundations - organization
Become
a more proficient user with an intensive look at the capabilities
of
VectorWorks. Attend this seminar to enhance your ability to create
and
modify objects as well as master techniques for organizing objects
and
the drawing.
An intensive look at organizing and more efficiently using VectorWorks
in a
lecture/demo format. We will look at the different aspects of
VectorWorks
that allows you to more effectively create, organize, and view
objects and
track information, and at the same time enable you to implement
standards
for your drawings. Topics that we will cover include using layers
and
classes, setting up a visibility matrix for viewing and printing,
creating
custom commands that remember the appropriate default settings
plus
many other items including symbol and worksheet introduction.
Those
attending this seminar should either have attended the first
seminar or have a strong basic understanding of
the VectorWorks environment.
Day
3 ~ Even Further Beyond - intro to 3D
Delve
into the third dimension within VectorWorks and learn how to create,
modify, and view 3D objects. Understand the ins and outs of the
different
types of 3d objects; VectorWorks native, solids, boolean, meshes,
hybrids,
and plug-ins.
An intensive look at the various types of 3-dimensional objects
in
VectorWorks in a lecture/demo format which is informal enough
for people
to ask questions. Topics we will cover will be how to create objects
in 3D
including the ins and outs of walls, Extrudes, Sweeps, Meshes,
booleans, and
the use of 3D tools. Learn to use the new features of the Resource
Browser
and
then
once it is all there, how to set up multi-view documents.
Those
attending this seminar should either have attended the second
seminar or have a strong basic understanding of the overall environment
and organization in VectorWorks.
Day
4 ~ Rendering in VectorWorks
Now that you have a project, how do you present it. Use this half-day seminar to learn practical methods to create presentations that enhance your project using RenderWorks. Understand differences between shaders and textures and how to create effects with lighting. And finally, go through examples of rendering typical elements from your drawing.
Those attending this seminar should either have attended the Day 3 seminar or have a strong basic understanding of the 3d world in VectorWorks.
