How to Get The Best From This Course
Watch the movie all the way through and take notes. Then move the course to another monitor if you have one. Play the movie and carry out the steps in the movie to complete the exercise, stopping and starting the movie as necessary. When you have finished the exercise, watch the movie again.
Lesson 1.1 – Vectorworks Interface
The interface is the way that Vectorworks appears on the screen and it is the way that you interact with Vectorworks.
This lecture will explain the parts of Vectorworks, so it is important that you complete this lecture, otherwise you will get lost later on. Try to make notes as you watch the movie. Remember that you can stop and start the movies as required to repeat something.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn how to navigate around the Vectorworks interface.
- Learn how to access tools and palettes.
- Learn how to set up the required units.
- Learn how to set up page areas for printing.
- Learn how to create basic objects.
