The first words of the VW training CD are something more or less like, "...VW is an object-based design program. You won't be drawing with lines anymore..."
Perhaps that's why the offset tool isn't even in the initial workspace (VWA 10.01)?
One Architect's opinion:
- I wouldn't be using VW if I couldn't draw with lines. I like the hybrid nature of the program, though I'm sure there are other ways to go about design (using multiple programs).
- My hunch: worldwide for every hour spent developing 3D models in VW, I'd say there are lots more spent making 2d drawings.
- The value of 3d drawing to the designer is overplayed everywhere now.
- The utility, precision and economy of 2d drawing conventions are undervalued everywhere now.
It's simply not an either/or situation. So it's troublesome to have the training CD repeat the fashion of the day, and tell me it is.
