  1. Hi there,

     

    I'm trying to edit a hatch but I don't fully understand how it works. Could someone recommend a tutorial that's helpful in learning about this?

     

    Also is there a way to download hatches from somewhere else to use in Vectorworks?

  2. For some reason when I change the line type to dashed it doesn't work and still looks solid. I've tried playing around with other features and yet nothing seems to be working does anyone know why this is? Could this be because I had extruded it previously? but I changed it back to 0.

  3. I recently started actively using the rendering features that vectorworks has to offer. For univeristy I am designing a living room and wanted the room to be concrete. I used the wall tool to create the walls but is there a way to render these as concrete. Also, where could I find tutorials about learning how to use the rendering features as at the moment I seem to be trying out each option and hoping for the best.

  4. I'm trying to create  a platformed area with furniture on top. I started with the plan first and extruded the blocks as I wanted them but for some reason I can't place the funiture on top it won't allow me. Even when I tried to changed the Z axis it wouldnt let me either. How do I stop it doing this? Video attached below of what I mean.

  5. I'm struggling with the wall style I created.

    Below is what it looks like currently. Some of the problems I'm having is that it looks like there are 2 layers of bricks when there should only be one, I've tried changing the size of the component but nothing has worked.

    Another problem I'm having is that I need to include timber frames within the insulation but have no idea how to do this.

    A picture is attached below of what I want it to look like.

  6. This may sound slightly stupid but I think I pressed something in vectorworks so that when I'm drawing shapes or lines the dimensions go up in 10's rather than in a linear sequence. How do I fix this?

    Also I have trouble dragging objects, it does this thing where it drags 10(mm) away from where it first started.

  7. I'm struggling to use the sectional viewport tool, on one side is the section of the building and I'm slightly confused about the other outputs. Ideally I would just like to have the output of the section straight through the model but I am unsure how to achieve this. Thanks any help/advice would be appreciated.

  8. @cberg This was very helpful, thanks!

     

    I also wanted to ask I need to include a timber frame as well is there a tile for that too or will I have to make one?

    Insulation is usually filled in a wall with a tile.

  9. I need to do some wall detail in my plans but I'm not sure where to start. The details include stud walls, timber beams. Is there a tool to help me do this or do I have to do it all by hand. Thanks!

     

    Attached is what I want to achieve and what I currently have on Vectorworks
