Does anyone know if Vectorworks has a 3D Warehouse, like Trimble/SketchUp where we can find 2D/3D people and animal models? I have 2019 SketchUp Pro but models are for 2021-23 version. Thanks.

Thanks very much. Starting to make sense!

Trying different approaches. I can import the SKP figures. I go to edit my Viewport and place the figures in the model, but when I exit the Viewport Edit they disappear. Any suggestions? Thank you

Thanks. I'm attempting to upload 2019 SKP files in VW 2021. I've tried 2D as well, I may be missing a step. OK, it looks like I've brought in 2D figures, will see how they work in the model.

Hi, I'm drawing a landscape model and section and would like to populate with people figures. Importing them (3D figures) from SketchUp doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions, using Skp or other, greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi again, I've done both - set the Fill attribute to None, and edited the tag and set the Fill of each text block to None (in the Object Info Palette). No change. I've sent file to Tech Support, hopefully they will get back to me. Thanks

Thank you. Where do I find the setting for Fill Attribute? I tried to edit the tag for the plant shown in the screen shot by editing 'perennials', in Organization, without luck. Todd

Hello, Can anyone tell me how to turn off the fill color in the tag box?

I just moved from SU to Landmark and one thing I miss is being able to make dashed construction or guide lines that parallel the axis lines or objects and are easily deleted. Does VW have any such tool? Thanks

Is there a basic instructional textbook for Landmark? Thanks

Thanks for the useful replies.

Hello, Is it possible to import SketchUp files to VW and convert them to Vectorworks files, and vice-versa? Thank you.

Hi again, This is the model I'm considering. Is there enough information to determine if it will support the software? Thanks.

Very impressive work and videos! The overview and experience are much appreciated. Thanks also for the Mac-GPU tips. I've got some great next-steps!

Hello again, This is the MBP I'm considering. Is there enough information to determine if it will support Vectorworks software? Thanks

I'm assuming you have an external GPU...

Yes money is tight now, so I am hoping to be able to use a MBP

Thanks, Zoomer. I will look into GPU. I'm aiming to start with simpler residential projects in 2D, and hoping to import SketchUp files.

Thanks, Jeff. I would be starting out on residential projects, working in 2D. I do 3D modeling in SketchUp and am hoping it works with Vectorworks. I'm glad to hear MBP will work, I am looking at a refurbished model from the Mac store. I will compare any model I look at with your specs. Will I be able to import SketchUp files into Vectorworks? I can model and render in it pretty quickly.

Hello, Will this software work with a MACBOOK PRO? I am thinking of purchasing this model for Entry level projects.
