Vectorworks Workshop pt. 3

On Friday, we finished the final day of our Vectorworks workshop. I wanted to get a picture of the 12 students that were having fun playing around, but I forgot to bring my camera. Friday was the best day of the workshop, since we got to take the basics that we learned to guide us through the 3D functions. Everybody was horsing around with all kinds of wall gadgets, doors, windows, and especially the lighting options, rendering files, and finally meandering through viewports and doing walk throughs of their results. Here are a few shots...

These are all obviously very rudimentary, but it was really a lot of fun! When I first heard about Vectorworks in 2003, I wanted to use the 3D functions right away, but I never had time to play. Now I have some time, and I am sure I won't be disappointed :)

After a few days of playing, here is what I have converted, copy and pasted, and transformed into the basic layers and classes for a final design project I am working on for Pericles as the Assistant Lighting Designer. The final project is due in a week...yikes!!!


Architecture converted and modified from the Technical Directors drawings...


Adding in the set, masking, and scenic fabrics on linesets...


Adding in the electric linesets (which aren't finished yet) and the FOH positions...
