Adraa Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Hello! I am trying to do a vault with different heights and I have no idea if I can do this at all in Vectorworks Pro 2018. Does anyone know something about this subject? Thank you in advance! Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted May 23, 2018 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted May 23, 2018 Create two vertical curves in the starting and ending profiles, use the Loft tool to connect them (this will create a NURBS surface), then shell the result. Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 ^ I am curious how many ways VW does offer to create that form. An exotic option may also be Model : Multiple Extrude of the start and end faces. - simple Extrude > Deform Tool : Taper Solid Mode - Subdivision Tool Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted May 23, 2018 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted May 23, 2018 Multiple extrude may work, but is difficult to control for faces and faceting. Taper Solid should work. Subdivision tool likewise will work (and be very malleable!) The main advantage of the NURBS surface-to-shell approach is the easy control of getting a uniform thickness of the shape. (This may or may not be a requirement, though). 2 Quote Link to comment
