One D Perspective from 3D drawing

[Maria13]

Hi everyone

 

I am a new Vectoworks user and have been learning the software on my own to apply to my interior design diploma drawings. I am trying to produce a One-D perspective from a 3D drawing. Do you have any advice how to achieve this? The first thought I have is to view my design on  a front view, then set a custom perspective to place me further from the drawing and finally flyover by ctrl-click without rotating the view. Does this make sense at all? 

 

Many thanks

Maria

Not sure I'm following.  

 

But you could get  the view you want - either in a sheet layer viewport or on design layers - select the objects Modify > Convert > Convert Copy to Lines.

 

OR

 

You can also set the view you want then use the Render Bitmap tool to give you a bitmap of the drawing.

A section viewport lets you set the perspective and will give a one vanishing point based one centre point of the crop object (as far as I've been able to work out).

Thanks a lot both.

 

After a few months off work, i revisited my drawings and got the 1D perspective using a section viewport. Easier than i thought.
