Description
This training will help you build a strong foundation and enhance your skills. We’ll cover core concepts, tools, and commands essential for your work—whether you’re focused on buildings and interiors (Architect), parks and landscapes (Landmark), or events and entertainment (Spotlight). Expect hands-on instruction that will guide you through creating, editing, and publishing your designs.
The first day will introduce the user interface and basic 2D operations. You’ll learn how to create and edit objects while keeping your files organized and using features for efficient documentation. The second day will introduce 3D and hybrid 2D/3D objects, explore the Vectorworks symbol libraries, and review procedures for importing DWGs, PDFs, and image files.

Date: 06/26/25 - 06/27/25
Time: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM PT

Audience
This building modeling class is for all Vectorworks users, no matter your industry.
Description
Vectorworks offers powerful tools for building modeling, providing you with significant advantages in your workflows. And even if buildings aren't the focus of your project, they still often play a vital role. Just think about it. A row of townhomes frames an urban park. A theater sets the stage for live performances. And in so many similar cases, buildings help shape how you develop and present your ideas.
In this two-day class, we'll cover the basics of building modeling. You'll learn how to create parametric objects, add details, and apply textures to make your presentations more realistic and engaging. On the first day, we'll focus on building the model from the base context and developing the walls, floors, ceilings, and roofs. On the second day, we'll add doors, windows, stairs, and railings before setting up rendered views of the project.
