Building cross sections

[Austindesigner]

I HAVE VECTORWORKS 12.5 ARCHITECT PROGRAM. NEED TO CREATE 2 SECTIONS THRU THE CUSTOM HOME I AM DESIGNING. I NEED TO PLACE THOSE SECTIONS ON A SEPARATE SHEET AND BE ABLE TO MANIPULATE THEM TO ADD AND DELETE DETAILS AND NOTES. ANY ADVICE OR HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED SINCE MY MANNUALS DO NOT SHOW ME HOW TO DO THAT.

Set up your Sheet Layers first.

 

Then:

• Menu:   View / Create Section Viewport
• Draw a line and then click on the side you want to look towards.  
• Choose appropriate options from the dialog box that opens.
• Click OK.

You can then explode the viewport to linework if you want to change a lot of things. or draw over annotation space.

 

Second option is best as It means you need to fix model issues if they are too far out to mask in annotation space.
