Description: Creating models or prototypes is not a novel concept in the building design world, but technological advances have taken this idea to new levels and created a surge of potential new opportunities. Influenced by other industries, such as automotive and machinery design, architects now engage in the process of rapid prototyping their designs. By using a digital model as the basis for creating a physical model, either scaled or full size, these physical models can be made using a variety of materials. In this webinar, attendees will look at the link between digital and physical prototyping by exploring specific examples of architects who are using both to achieve their goals. Attendees Will: Discover the ways that prototyping can be applied to architecture, engineering, and construction for structural and space analysis. Identify the benefits of creating digital and actual prototypes throughout the design process, including those related to building safety and code compliance. Recognize how digital and actual prototypes can aid with land-use and site analysis, integration of building systems, and sustainability. Explore how algorithmic modeling can create rapid prototypes that can help increase design efficiency.&nbsp: Register

Description: If you are designing for event vehicular circulation, commercial parking lots, or residential driveways, being able to understand and accurately simulate vehicle turn maneuvering is essential. With the full integration of Transoft Solutions AutoTURN Online in all Vectorworks software, this design capability helps to simplify this complex task. Using a real-world project file, Andres Velez, P.Eng., Senior Civil Engineer and Project Manager at Transoft Solutions, Inc. and Eric Gilbey, PLA, Product Marketing Manager at Vectorworks, Inc. will walk you through different simulation scenarios that highlight the intricacies of vehicular use and parking areas, and the details surrounding them. Learning Objectives: Learn how Vectorworks provides site planning tools which aid in efficiently laying out parking areas and drive aisles to plan for parking and vehicle maneuverability. Explore a parking lot that is integrated with surrounding landscaping to showcase passenger vehicle access and parking. See how to fully access the AutoTURN Online tool directly in Vectorworks software, and how to choose and utilize different vehicles. Master how to generate simulations and assess the turning space for different vehicles such as fire trucks, transit buses, semi-trailers, and more. Register

Please note, this seminar is being hosted by Vectorworks UK and will begin at 1pm GMT. When learning to use Vectorworks, or any software for that matter, we are likely to focus on learning how to use just what we need to complete a project. Over time, we may believe we know how to use the application to its fullest extent but have only scratched the surface of what is possible. In this session, the Vectorworks training team will guide you through finding those gems (tools/commands) that will make your design process more efficient. They will also change your perspective on how and when to use certain Vectorworks features that you may already use regularly.
