This course is suitable for those who have been using Vectorworks and haven't dared to venture into the third dimension. The course is not aimed at any specific design discipline, but looks at the fundamentals of modelling in 3D, whether that be a custom roof, a pergola, a tensile fabric structure or a piece of furniture.
Students intending to move into the world of BIM (Building Information Modelling) will find the ability to model custom objects with Vectorworks invaluable.
AGENDA
Understand 3D viewing tools Create extrudes and sweeps in a multitude of forms Model solids with the interactive Push/Pull and automatic plane detection functionality Use the Taper Face and Deform tools to create just about anything Create detail with Fillet and Chamfer tools Use the Subdivision Modelling tool to create organic shapes NURBS modelling Find out which tools already draw in 3D, and how to model those extra things you need for your design. There will also be a basic introduction to rendering 3D drawings (OpenGL - available with every Vectorworks licence). Please note that this course does not cover site modelling.

Description: Even though interior architecture is often perceived as an after-thought, many architectural firms are now focused on adaptive re-use projects and developing inspiring interiors portfolios. Follow along with Eastlake Studio's journey to transform their approach to design by adopting new 3D workflows to take their creative process in new directions. In this webinar, Luis M. Ruiz, Int. Assoc. AIA, and his guest presenter Nicole Tabata, AIA, director architect at Eastlake Studio, will explore how to transition from a traditional 2D workflow to a fully integrated data-driven 3D modeling process.
Learning objectives: - Discover how a 3D modeling approach helps solve common design problems. - Understand how to transition from a traditional 2D workflow to new customizable workflow using new tools and technology. - Learn techniques to take full advantage of your 3D model for communicating design intent effectively. - Discuss lessons learned of implementing 3D workflows for your Interiors projects.&nbsp: Register
