Global design software developer Vectorworks, Inc. has published the latest editions of expert trainer Jonathan Pickup's texts: Vectorworks Essentials Tutorial Manual and Vectorworks Architect Tutorial Manual. Both in their eighth editions, these manuals are available in hard copy with accompanying DVDs and are designed to educate readers on how to use Vectorworks 2016 software.

Specifically, Vectorworks Essentials is structured to demonstrate basic concepts, such as simple drawing, modeling and file organization. New to this year's manual are the "Test Yourself" exercises at the end of all eight chapters, so readers may apply what they've learned from the book to real-world situations.

"One of the training manuals we have at the office is Jonathan Pickup’s Vectorworks Essentials," said François Lévy, AIA, principal at Lévy Kohlhaas Architecture. "Jonathan’s book is clear, methodical, systematic and thorough. He’s pioneered mixing text, video and training files to produce manuals that are easy to follow, with deceptively simple exercises that elegantly capture the skills everyone needs to use Vectorworks to its fullest. You might think you're buying a book, but you're really getting a whole training curriculum."

Building upon the Vectorworks Essentials manual and updated for use with Vectorworks Architect 2016 software, the Vectorworks Architect Tutorial Manual teaches readers to draft more efficiently by drawing with intelligent parametric objects rather than basic 2D geometry, as well as how Vectorworks software enables a BIM workflow.

"It's important for Vectorworks users to invest in their education to ensure that they are getting the most of the software," said Pickup. "These two manuals serve as an easy and affordable way for users to get up to speed on Vectorworks and further their skills."

Both titles are available for $75 each and can be purchased online at https://secure.vectorworks.net/estore/training. Press interested in reviewing either book may contact Vectorworks Communications Specialist Lauren Burke at LBurke@vectorworks.net or 443-542-0294 to receive a complimentary copy.
