Expect hands-on instruction that will guide you through creating, editing, and publishing your designs.

The first day will introduce the user interface and basic 2D operations. You’ll learn how to create and edit objects while keeping your files organized and using features for efficient documentation. The second day will introduce 3D and hybrid 2D/3D objects, explore the Vectorworks symbol libraries, and review procedures for importing DWGs, PDFs, and image files.

Vectorworks Landmark offers a suite of tools and commands created to aid the design and development of projects using object-based parametric modeling processes. This class will walk students through the tools and commands needed to create a concept model. Students will then further develop that model, leading to a more detailed design oriented toward a data-rich environment and the publication of reports and construction documentation.

Through interactive exercises, students will gain an in-depth knowledge of the applicable Vectorworks Landmark tools and commands and begin to build effective design practices.
