3D Modeling – Working Planes

Use the file (Part1.sta) from the exercise folder. Use the Working Planes layer for this exercise.

When you create extrusions and primitive shapes, they always start at zero on the working plane. When you want to create more complex shapes, working planes help you to change the active working plane to a position that suits. When you create planar objects, they are created on the working plane, so it is really important to learn how to create and manage working planes.

Vectorworks has preferences that allow you to choose the rendering and the projection when you change between 2D and 3D views.
