Jonathan Pickup Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Happy New Year! Thank you to all my customers and blog readers. 2011 was a good year for me thanks to you. Blog visits have gone up substantially, subscribers to my Vector-workout Subscription increased dramatically, manual sales were up slightly, and other work has kept me very busy. 2012 looks like it will be a very good year. I am adding new webinar sessions for my subscribers called Special Interest Groups (see below), I have improved the manuals I write for Nemetschek Vectorworks, I have have completely updated my Landmark Tutorial manual (available later). You should take time now to plan your year. It will really be worth it.

The purpose of the SIG will be to have online sessions that are suited to a particular part of Vectorworks, and will generally follow on from the topics discussed in the workshop sessions. The Special Interest meetings will be the week after the interactive workshops so that issues raises in the workshop can be expanded in the group meetings, and explained with examples to suit that group.

What I really want to is to mount the iPhone on a tripod. A standard tripod has a bolt to connect a camera, but the phone and tablet do not have the threaded hole for the bolt.

For the past several years I have been using Vectorworks to create a model. This is a great way to make a complex gingerbread house. You can design your own dream gingerbread house.
