Other than this, I used the staircase tool which allows you to enter the number of rises, the type of staircase and the value of each rise to calculate your stairs for you! This can be found in the Building Shell section. The Section I used most often in my simpler drawings was Dim/Notes which contains the scale bar tool, the north arrow and the section-elevation line. It is made up of 12 sub-sections which hold tools specific for that category. Tool set is the more complicated palette. What types of files can I import or export from within Vectorworks Architect Vectorworks Architect handles a large variety of import and export formats. Check out the many resources on our Training page. This palette will always be open on my screen as I use it for everything! (I have highlighted my most used tools in yellow) workbooks, training CDs, online training options, Vectorworks Service Select, and group or individual training courses. Some examples are the offset tool (great for wall thicknesses), line tool, polyline tool etc. The basic palette is one that includes everything necessary to draw. As well as these functions it also includes mark endings, drop shadows and an option to decide the opacity. The attributes palette lets you decide the colour, weight and fill of an object, line, shape etc... This is the palette I use to group my line alignments with my orthographic’s. The general snapping is most frequently used by me, as I have it the majority of the time to avoid time consuming issues like lines not meeting. The other snaps available are: General snapping, snap to tangent, object snap and angle snap. You can snap to the grid, which allows your cursor to fall onto the grid when drawing so lines meet. This function has both 2d and 3d palettes, in the image below I have shown the 2d palette. The Snapping palette handles the snapping controls, not only letting you turn it on and off but also allowing you to select the type of snapping you want. The palettes I will show you today are called: ‘Snapping’, ‘Attributes’, ‘Basic’ and ‘Tool set’. To view the options of palettes, you need to select Window> Palette. The first thing we want to do is make these palettes active.
When you use Vectorworks for the first time, most palettes are hidden, giving you the chance to customise your work space with the tools and palettes you wish to work with.
Recent high-profile examples include touchscreen computer exhibits at the Natural History Museum, London, and the Swedish Natural History Museum, in Stockholm.Palettes are like smaller windows containing tools that let you draw and edit objects. These "Virtual Reality" models can easily be incorporated into CD-ROM or web-based multimedia.
The program is now used by many thousands of scientists worldwide - including major governmental laboratories, corporations and universities.Ī unique features of CrystalMaker is the ability to create fully-interactive computer models - which can be manipulated on a PC or Mac, without the need for the original program or additional equipment. CrystalMaker 5.0 was selected as one of the three best Science/Engineering programs, together with entries from Wolfram Research and Vector Works (the overall section winner).ĬrystalMaker is a computer program for exploring the complex arrangements of atoms and bonds that define the structures of crystals or molecules.
The Macworld editors surveyed every Mac product on the market from 1 November 2000 to 1 November 2001, evaluating them for their overall quality, as well as their utility, innovation and elegance.
The Eddy Awards, the Apple Macintosh industry's highest distinction for breakthrough product development, are given to the year's top software and hardware products in 25 categories. The 12 regional winners in each category go forward to be judged at a national level. The Awards are run on a regional basis in the following categories, with the regional winner of each category going forward to a national category final: "E-Business Start-up", "E-Business", "E-Trading", "Best use of Broadband", "Best use of Teleworking".
