I recently purchased VW 2010 and have no prior VW experience. I am having a difficult time grasping the basics of the software. Where would one go to better understand the basics - such as a simple garage or small single family residence? Thank you

There are many training opportunities available. You might start by clicking the Training Resources link at the right of this page. Among other things, there are a number of third party trainers who offer 1 on 1 training, etc. Look for the link in the training resource page... There are a number of training manuals listed as well.

Go to youtube.com and type "archoncad" in the search field. Jonathan Pickup has about a hundred Vectorworks video tips there.

And you can get his Architect tutorial manual. Or more training at archoncad.com

Hi Matt,

Yes. Definitely look at Jonathan Pickup's training materials and online user group.

Once you get going, this community board and the VW maillist are indispensable for specific questions.

Best regards,

All the free stuff is features not training...there aren't any decent free tutorials or training resouces.

The for sale materials are both higher priced and weaker compared to what's available for Autodesk products, if you're familiar with those.

It's software like it was in the 80's...designed to sell support services.
