• 3D Modeling Special Interest Group – October 2018

    3D Modeling Special Interest Group October 2018In this session, we demonstrated creating hybrid objects, creating footings for a building slab by using the Extrude Along Path command, and changing Title Block styles.

  • 3D Modeling Special Interest Group – September 2018

    In this session, we covered the three Vectorworks stair tools, discussed how to handle multi-layer objects, and showed how to isolate part of a complex model so that you can work on it more easily.

  • 3D Modeling Special Interest Group – August 2018

      In this session, we discussed how to handle a complex model—both principles and practical examples—and how to streamline symbol placement and insertion points.

  • 3D Modeling Special Interest Group – July 2018

    In this session, we discussed using the Loft Surface tool, the Project tool, Subdivision primitives, and the Create Drape Surface command.

  • 3D Modeling Special Interest Group – May 2018

    In this session, we explored various tools in the 3D tool set, including the Sphere, 3D Polygon, and Loft Surface tools.

  • 3D Modeling Special Interest Group – April 2018

      In this session, we created a complex water slide shape, comparing the advantages of turning it into a hybrid symbol instead of an Auto Hybrid, explored using the hybrid symbol for cabinetry and added a chimney to a curved roof.

  • 3D Modeling Special Interest Group – March 2018

    In this session, we used various methods—the Extrude Along Path command, the Foliage tool, and the Create Surface Array command—to create a vertical garden, as well as discussing how to create a transparent color mask and how to use the Chain Extrude tool.

  • 3D Modeling Special Interest Group – January 2018

    In this session, we discussed a bit about using textures versus making a 3D model, covered how turning the Callout tool into a symbol can add functionality to it, constructed a room with various moldings and panels, created a texture, and demonstrated aspects of using the Create Interior Elevation Viewport…

  • 3D Modeling Special Interest Group – December 2017

      In this session, we discussed the process for modeling a specific type of chair—a modern industrial X chair—and went through the construction step by step.
