In this session, we looked at how to add the file with your 2017 resource library to the Resource Manager in Vectorworks 2018 and how to use the various stair tools that come in Vectorworks, including the “hidden” tools.
In this session, we looked at the Resource Manager in more detail and covered what things can be stored in a personal library file and what things should be saved in a template file.
In this session we looked at the resource manager. An introduction to movie hemi talk about other topics that we were hoping to cover but we did not have time to cover all these topics. In terms of resource manager we looked at using tools, object styles, and textures.
The Resource Manager is an extremely important part of your Vectorworks interface. It allows you to look for resources (hatches, line styles, wall styles, plants, et cetera). So it’s important that we understand how to use it because it is will make you more efficient and improve your productivity.
The Resource Manager that you see on your screen is just one part of the total concept. Vectorworks uses the Resource Manager for many objects and tools to allow you to find the resources that you need when you use that tool.
In this session we looked at the Resource Manager. This was introduced with Vectorworks 2017 and it does mean reorganising your default content. In the past default content was in one folder (Defaults) but with Vectorworks 2017 the default content is now into folders (Defaults and Object Styles). So we looked at this concept of the default content and then we also looked at the concept of object styles.

The previous movie looked at the basic concepts of the Resource Manager and this movie looks at slightly more advanced topics, topics that are suitable for an intermediate user. In this movie we will be looking at duplicating, renaming, importing, exporting, and managing resources.

In the session we looked at what’s new in Vectorworks 2017, concentrating on the plant definition and spacing. We also looked at using subdivision modelling to create a shade sail.
In the session we looked at the new Resource Manager, especially looking at how we should be using the new manager, how we should be organizing resources, how we should take control of the resource manager, and then we looked at updating our library files.
Resource Manager – When you look at the new Resource Manager, it may look like an updated Resource Browser, but it is much more than that. The Resource Manager has been embedded throughout Vectorworks. this means that whenever you look for a resource, the resource manager will appear showing you the best results. The resource manager can look for files on your computer, and your favourites, in your user folder, and your workgroup folder, in the Vectorworks libraries (some are on your computer and some are online), and in the Vectorworks subscription libraries (VSS).
The new Resource Manager has a completely new layout. The animated GIF above shows you some of the new parts.
The old Resource Browser is dead, long live the Resource Manager!
Alright, seriously, the Resource Browser has been replaced with a new Resource Manager. This resource manager does a lot more than just replace the resource browser, It Is now implemented throughout vector works every time you need to find a resource. This is a fantastic improvement.
The first thing I found with the new Resource Manager is that it has an auto hide function. But in order to make this useful, moving out of the way so that you do not accidentally activate auto hide.
