2D Furniture Blocks

[MGilc]

Hi again all, 

 

So I have an existing plan and I just want to show the basic furniture - sink, toilet.  I have no intention of modelling a 3D kitchen as it will take time, especially for me.

 

Where in the resource manager are just flat 2d blocks?  

 

As always any help would be really appreciated

Hi @MGilc

 

As far as I know, Vectorworks have only Hybrid Objects (2D and 3D) in Library of objects (Blocks).

 

If is necessary, you can import DWG files with this 2D Furnitures Blocks.

IMO, in a 2D (top/Plan) drawing, should not in general all VWX-supplied resource items be 'hybridized'? That would mean they'd have a functional 2d representation as well as their 3D resource, so p[lunking them down in your 2D world should work just fine - in general.

@MGilc just use the 3D furnishings and stay in top/plan view, problem solved.  I prefer using 3D assets during initial 2D work because.

When the project goes 3D, the work is done

When I cannibalize a project's entourage for a new one, it's 3D already.

 

Once you curate your own collection of entourage and design elements, it's so nice to have them already in 3D when you need them.
