VW 2011


Recommended Posts

....BIM is a reality , and VW2009-2010 is not taking it seriously.

I still can?t have a decent way of defining all the layers that are part of walls, floors and ceilings.

I need a worksheet to measure a wall, and I still can?t define a way to measure it by the interior perimeter.

I still can?t do a solar/shadow impact study during a typical day.

I still don?t have a decent interface dealing with IFC classification system.

I still don?t have a decent interface dealing with floors and ceilings.

("Decent interface" is a window, where I can define all aspects that define in a realistic way, this basic building elements that define a space.)

VectorWorks2008-2009-2010 are still improved versions of 1986 MiniCAD.

I?ll pass 2010

If that statement is intended to be condescending, try telling it to the CEO who was hired in '86 as a programmer by the creator of MiniCad.

I'm certain that you will get an earful ...

Just because VW is not currently the pre-imminent BIM application doesn't mean that it

lacks significant strengths in other important areas of CAD design and production.

For many long term Users a predictable GUI is essential to consistent workflow.

1) I generally put the walls, floors and ceilings on separate classes -- not layers. And wall cavities can be turned off in a view.

2) There is a decent way to measure interior dimensions of rooms - the Space Tool.

3) A typical day could be any day you choose. Solar animation works very well, as demonstrated in Francois Levy's Green Demonstration .
