Starting New Projects in Vectorworks

This video show you how to start new projects in Vectorworks Architect and runs through importing DWG correctly, using project templates and then creating location, block and site plans in no time at all. It also touches on the Vectorworks smart title blocks. Finally I show some of the stunning 3D renderings and animations created in Twinmotion for the project.

Jonathan I learnt a great deal from this video. In it you mention later videos showing the next stages or steps and workflows but I cannot find this video anywhere, has it been uploaded?
I am particularly interested in how you create the context massing models and their various roof forms from the class assigned polygon building fills?

Hi Jonathan, I am working on Vectorworks in an office in New Zealand but still a fresher for Vectorworks. Your training videos are always very helpful. Can you share the link of your template which you had shown in your video so that we can also work side by side going through the video? Anyways thanks for the video.. Cheers!!

How do you get to display the icons inside (ie below) the Document Tab? I would also prefer that icon arrangement, but I can't find any info anywhere how to change this for VW 2024.

Brilliant! But Where is the rest of the tutorial Sir?

Hello, thank you for your video. It would be really really great to have at least one video with the files available to us, so we can work in parallel. Otherwise, being new to Vectorworks, we get lost very quickly in the video and abandon it. thank you very much.

Hello Jonathan. I have to say as a professional User coming from Archicad and Revit, I m cursing a lot, but your videos are the only Good ones about architecture Workflow in vectorworks.

As a request, could you do a video about curved walls and their behavior in elevations? Its impossible for me to render correct hidden line drawings. There s always a line between the straight Wall and the curved section.

Anyone who is an urban designer use Vectorworks? If so would you recommend it over sketchup?

I could never make VWs give me a decent intelligent drawing list to insert in the Title Page. I hope that’s fixed.
