@Mark Aceto, I've not actually done it with SM or FM, last time I modeled trusses was to "proof out" what the truss company had sent me as far as fitment (I assumed their calcs were correct) and I just simply modeled the trusses using extrudes.
In your case, where you might model one and then modify it for other projects, you might get some "milage" out of doing as you've suggested. Maybe try one and see how much time you have in it???

@KrisM, in the Advanced Properties button in the OIP, you might get some mileage out of "limiting" the depth of the section cut to an inch or so...

@Mark Aceto, short answer - nope! I think it's either Structural Member as you've suggested or a simple extrude.

@SLD, I believe it depends on what "flavor" of Vectorworks you purchased (Architect, Landmark, Spotlight, Designer). This is what Designer's looks like. You CAN and SHOULD create your own

@shakira, if you just want 2D "linework" people, I've got some...

Hi All, Yes, sketch out ALL the "knowns" in section FIRST. This will help you when creating your Levels as well as where to create story "breaks"...I created a few a couple of years back - they are in the Model Set-Up thread. They are called "Model Set up Worksheets"...there are a couple that are specific to residential and a couple of types of commercial construction.
And if you're using stories, ALWAYS make sure your Level names match the names of your bounding conditions in your wall styles!

600 DPI...yes, it'll take a while...

Just FYI, there are two "flavors" of InteriorCAD, one is called XS and is suited for designers/architects and is fairly reasonably priced, the other "full blown" version is suited for the production of cabinets in a shop.

Here's a tutorial on the Slab Drainage tool...it was written for 2017 but is still pertinent I believe. Here's a couple of practice files too...

@VWVSpass, this lesson from Vectorworks University might help

@drelARCH, you can rename the Default Levels by going to Tools > Organization > Stories > Default Story Levels. The name of any component that is then bound must match a Level's name.
This is covered pretty thoroughly in "Model Set-Up"

@Ed Wachter, InteriorCAD is a third-party plug-in that comes in two "flavors"...one that's suited to the designer/architect and another that'
s suited to a production cabinet shop.
Think of the Custom Cabinet Tool as a trial version of InteriorCAD

@mattryan, you can also create a style with "On Schedule" set to "By Style" such that every time that window style is used, the "On Schedule" filed will be checked. I highly recommend the 'style' workflow for both doors and windows

@Habitat43, I think the answer is NO. You can get a flat slab drawer and door but not a rail and stile.

@Yohei, in this video I start with a ROOF object (it only works on ROOFS and ROOF FACES). Go to the Resource Manger and search for SKYLIGHT. Choose a skylight object (symbol) from the library. Place it on the Roof. It initially makes a dormer. Enter the Dormer editor and choose EDIT SKYLIGHT.

@jcaia, you may want to head over to the Architect section and read the two articles posted near the top - "Model Set-Up" and "No Stories, No Problem". They fairly carefully cover the difference between a Level Bound wall style and a Layer Bound wall style. There are a couple of study models you can experiment with as well.
Cheers!

@tpenna, let me know if you can't manipulate the bar joist to suit, I can always make you one given a couple of measurements...

Viewports with the sheet layer set to a high DPI can do it too...

@Inspectorjack, I think I used 1/2" as the thickness of the actual sheathing...you may want to change its texture to OSB. There's a Saved View in the file that turns the siding off..."Model All" turns it back on.

@Tom W., yes, that's probably the best way...the "green wrapper" could have literally no thickness....if you google Zip-R you'll see what it is...

Steelwork and layers
in Architecture
Posted
@LeeElston, that is certainly one method...you could also create an "All Stories" layer. Don't place it in any story and set the elevation at 0'-0" and then model the steel full height. This layer can then be left "on" for any plan view.
