Working out panelling

[lolo66]

I need to draw up some panelling (pic is attached) and I have a space of 1824 x 1510mm to fit it into. Is there a tool in Vectorworks that will make my life easy working this out?

Many thanks!

Hi, There are a number of ways but Extrude along path is quick to give you a panel with complicated mouldings.

Take a look at the move by points tool in distribute mode

 

 

or duplicate array - rectangular array

Hidden in Workspace customization there is are some legacy tools,
one was called Ceiling Grid.
Could something like this help to fill ANY Area with the suited amount of things,
without the need to calculate manually and work with strange numbers
and in a parametric way.

Or the Curtain Wall Tool ?
The new Railing Tool ?
The new Custom Cabinet Tool ?
Even the "Create Surface Array" ?

If the given amount of panels is already known, as said,
the Move by Points Tool in Copy and Distribute Mode may be well suited.

Curtain Wall could probably do it, but it might be more complex to use than the Extrude Along Path and then Align/Distribute combo suggested above. Also I think the original poster is using Spotlight which I do not think has the cabinet or curtain wall tools.

This is from 2017 but the function is very much the same in the last few versions:
