Vectorworks Training for Lighting, Film and Set Design

Vectorworks Fundamentals: The Essentials (VW1)

Recommended for new users of both Vectorworks Fundamentals and Vectorworks Spotlight, as well as those with minimal CAD experience. For one day, you will concentrate on the VectorWorks interface, organising concepts and core skills, such as 2D object creation and editing, snap constraints, dimensions, text and graphic attributes.

Prerequisite: Participants must be competent in using Macintosh or Windows computers and familiar with basic hand drawn drafting techniques.



Vectorworks Fundamentals: Further Studies (VW2)

This one day concentrates on tools and techniques for speeding up your drawing process. Users will gain a good understanding of Sheets, Viewports, Symbols and other Resources. The important subject of DWG file import is also covered in depth as is working with imported sketches & photos. Finally, users will also learn how to customise the Hatch and Title Block tools and get an introduction to Worksheets & Reports.



Vectorworks Spotlight: Intelligent Plots Plans & Designs (SP1)

Recommended for users new to Vectorworks Spotlight and who are familiar with the basic operation of Vectorworks. This one day course focuses on the 2D workflow using the industry specific tools found in the Vectorworks Spotlight product. In addition to existing users of the Spotlight module, the course also offers an inexpensive opportunity to fully evaluate the industry specific tools and to see how they can aid the CAD workflow over and above using basic drawing tools.

Prerequisite: Vectorworks The Essentials (VW1) or previous Vectorworks experience.



Vectorworks 3D Modelling Training Course: Jump into 3D (3D1)

Recommended for those familiar with Vectorworks 3D modelling techniques. This one day course delves into the basics of lighting a model, creating and placing realistic textures on models and enhancing renderings with backgrounds and image props, as well as techniques to maximise the quality of graphic outputs from renderings.

Prerequisite: Vectorworks 3D Modelling for Spotlight or previous experience with Vectorworks 3D tools and techniques.

Vectorworks Renderworks Training Course: Visualise Your Designs (RW1)

Recommended for those familiar with Vectorworks 3D modelling techniques. This one day course delves into the basics of lighting a model, creating and placing realistic textures on models and enhancing renderings with backgrounds and image props, as well as techniques to maximise the quality of graphic outputs from renderings.

Prerequisite: Vectorworks 3D Modelling for Architects or previous experience with Vectorworks 3D tools and techniques.
