Push/Pull Tool – Sub Face Mode – I find that I often use this tool to stretch, change, or edit 3D objects. As the name suggests this tool is used to push or pull 3D objects. This tool can be used to add or subtract solids, and you can use…
Push/Pull Tool – Move Face Mode – I use this tool to stretch, change, or edit 3D objects. As the name suggests this tool is used to push or pull 3D objects. This tool can be used to add or subtract solids, and you can use it to edit only…

We often talk about Building Information Modeling and the assumption is that we will be building a 3D version of our building. However, there are several objects that you might want to model independently because the standard Vectorworks tools will not create exactly what you require.
This session looked at the Education Resources and how to find them on the web site. We also looked at the image on the web site that shows the parts and how the parts relate to each other, and teaching Vectorworks as a whole. I think the road map is really useful to…
In this session we looked at the resources that have been created this month on the Educations Resources page. Each month more resources are being added, so it is a good idea to see how the resources are being added and if the order of the resources need amending.
In the session had only one attendee. Lucky for him, he was able to have one-on-one training as part of his subscription. His main area of problem was roofing. So in this session we looked at his roof challenges and how we can cope with them in Vectorworks.
Extrusions are the main object in 3D modeling, so here are some rules for Extrusions. Extrude To create an extrusion start with a solid 2D element, for example a rectangle, a circle, etc. If you want to render the object it has to be a solid object before you extrude…
Vectorworks 2013 introduced this concept called the Clip Cube. The clip cube is a 3-D modeling technique that allows you to hide all the 3-D objects outside of the clip cube.
Introduction 3D modeling in Vectorworks is fun and it allows you to create objects that have never existed before. It allows you to use your imagination and it allows to see your object from any view.
