rDesign Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) Ever since I saw this 'Drilling 3d' tool shown around 3m45s in Episode 13: Integration of Renderworks in Vectorworks, I've been trying to find it in 2017 without any luck. Is this a localization-provided tool? It would be extremely useful for light fixtures that penetrate a ceiling, so that you don't have to manually boolean a hole out of it. It also shows a tool palette that I have not seen before, is this only available to Designer? Thanks. Edited September 15, 2016 by rDesign Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted September 15, 2016 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 15, 2016 That's not stock from us, it does look familiar though. Perhaps it's part of InteriorCAD? I'll ask around tomorrow, I very rarely add any non-standard plugins because of the nature of my work, but others may recognize it. EDIT: It occurs to me I could also just ask Stephen, I will email him Quote Link to comment
rDesign Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) Ah — thanks JimW. Now that you mention InteriorCAD, those icons do look cabinetry-specific. You were correct - they're from InteriorCAD. Tutorial: Drilling 3D - interiorcad Manual Edited September 15, 2016 by rDesign Quote Link to comment

Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted September 15, 2016 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 15, 2016 People LOVE InteriorCAD, I hear nothing negative about other than "Why isn't this included by default?" I have not used it myself, but plan to take a closer look once I get caught up on things from rollout. Quote Link to comment
Gytis Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Just a bit of clarification. The Drilling 3D and other tools generally work with a base object called a "Custom Part." They do not work with other types of VW objects. In the example, one would have to make the ceiling from a Custom Part, not extrude or floor or..... That being said, they are some amazing tools.
