Vincent Cuclair replied to Andy's discussion 'Vector based drawing programs for people that draw and make stuff?'

I know the feeling Andy :) I'm self educated over the years in AutoCad Point, Bentley Architecture, ADT, VW and ArchiCAD (in that order), the trick is to understand how the program designer(s) think, once you find this red line things get easier....…

John Keating replied to John Keating's discussion '2D or 3D?' in the group Architects

Lee, Your experience seems to mirror my own in practically all respects. Like yourself, I started out with a drawing board and computer-wise, I've been using the 2D CAD approach more or less exclusively for much of my career to date. Now that I have…

Lee Calisti replied to John Keating's discussion '2D or 3D?' in the group Architects

John, I've been using VW since 1995 (MiniCAD 3), but for the most part is has been the traditional 2D CAD approach. Now that I have VW 2010, I am now forcing myself to move towards a 3D or BIM work flow, but I must admit, it is not as easy as it sou…

......patience is a virtue... :) , sure many options can be frustating however the lack of otions can be equally frustating.......

Andy replied to Andy's discussion 'Vector based drawing programs for people that draw and make stuff?'

How to draw a continuous line which has straight elements and arcs to make a complete form? I just wanted one surface off the 3D form (like the cladding) however "convert to polygons" gives me a surface of hundreds of disconnected triangles instead…

Vector based drawing programs for people that draw and make stuff?

Do any exist?I've just spent ten minutes trying to join three lines together to make one shape, there are 2-3 pages in my Quickstart guide on this, none of the methods seem to work very well and just add more options.Why don't the builders of "creat…

Andy replied to Andy's discussion 'Building with 3D solids'

How do people flatten their designs to make patterns for sheet material? So now I have a reasonably convincing arrangement of 3D forms as symbols I need to flatten them for the cutting the parts. My book points to "Convert to polygons" however whe…
