Joshua Lee posted a blog postOn my way
Derailed for the time being from the BIM side of vectorworks I have been working on a single line drawing of a building here on campus. All went well and in fact I have finished this and moved on to editing it for our conference services department. Like I said all has gone well but there is one hiccup here. I have a symbol that shows up on my drawing layer but not in my viewport.Here is what I have checked:Visibility of the Class is turned onLayer is visible.Symbol is on correct layer Here are…See More
Joshua Lee commented on Alice Lowy's event 'Meet Vectorworks Landmark!'"I am confused it says that this webinar is at 2 to 3 pm EST (Eastern Standard Time) however when I attempt to export to my calendar it is putting the meeting at 5:00pm to 6:00pm.

Brian Metcalfe commented on Joshua Lee's blog post 'Vectorworks Newbie Issue 4'"One tip I would highly recommend (& am still doing myself to this day) take your time, when you open a new screen or do an action take a good look around, see whats changed, mouse over controls to see what info pops up, hold on menu items for…"

Thank you for the insight. I attepted to do just that and for some reason I was still unable to edit the fillet. Any other ideas'?"
Brian Metcalfe commented on Joshua Lee's blog post 'Vectorworks Newbie Issue 4'"Hi Joshua, Brian again, quick tip on 2D editing, every object operated on in VW retains its history, grouped, extruded, combined, added, subtracted etc, If you take a rectangular polygon, fillet / chamfer its edges, extrude it, add a circle, extrude…"
Brian Metcalfe commented on Joshua Lee's blog post 'Vectorworks Newbie issue 3'"Unless you were using Autocad Revit (3D BIM) forget most of what you know, AutoCAD is a computerised drawing board, Vectorworks is a 3D BIM design package, Check out Archoncad NZ support & U-Tube Vectorworks, (N.B.

To All,I am going to go on a rant for just one moment here. It is incredibly important to me to produce an end product that is free of errors. I think most of us would agree that we work very hard to elevate the standards of our work on each project that we touch. This being said.... I have been trying to work through the getting started guides provided to me with the software....Key word trying....I am not sure how this document ever made it out the door. With grammar and spell check options…See More

Oh my, it hasn't been that long and I no longer have any hair. Literally I feel as though I have been blasted over the head at the end of each day. I am having such difficulty figuring out this software. I thought I had my stories set up and that the walls would be contingent on the heights set within the story. Not working out that way!

Joshua Lee commented on Joshua Lee's blog post 'Vectorworks Finally Installed'"Jonathan,

Vectorworks Finally Installed
Okay, I have the software installed- official version.
I have started setting up my drawing. I will be teaching myself so I started with something that I would just be recreating. I found a set of drawings for one of the buildings here on campus and started to get to work. I set up my paper size, scale, units, smart cursor, layers, stories, some classes and started to layout the foundation of my building or so I thought.
Perhaps it is because I am new to this but I am looking…
