Vectorworks an Introduction Short Course

Course description

Computer models can aid in the process of experimentation and design development, complementing physical model making and drawing. Creating models in CAD can help you to better understand how spatial volumes work and how the user would experience them.

The course will introduce you to the various ways of using Vectorworks to create 3D designs and structures. Through tutor-led demonstrations and personal projects you will learn the different techniques that are most appropriate for creating 3D objects.

Course Outcomes
By the end of the course you should be able to:

• Use appropriate techniques to create various objects with efficiency
• Have a general understanding of the logic of the software
• Understand the different palettes, tools and editing options used in Vectorworks
• Create 2D and 3D designs and structures
• Understand and use scale in your design drawing

You will gain technical CAD skills delivered via live online teaching elements.
