Mike Donovan Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Hello. I am very new to VectorWorks. I'm drawing a rack made out of square tubing. I can draw the 3D square tubing vertically (Front Elevation POV), but when I try to draw it horizontally (ie the frame of the base of the rack), the tubing automatically goes vertical. I can't find a way to rotate it to a horizontal alignment after it's drawn. What am I missing? Thanks Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee TomWhiteLight Posted January 29 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 29 Be sure to specify the working plane before drawing, There is also a set working plane tool. Or draw It all in top/plan, extrude and rotate. 1 Quote Link to comment

Vectorworks, Inc Employee TomWhiteLight Posted January 29 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 29 I am taking about choosing between Auto plane or Layer plane. " (Front Elevation POV)," If Mike is drawing in a front view for the first time its likely that he still has layer plane toggled. 1 Quote Link to comment
