For Vectorworks 2010

BIM is the new catch phrase for CAD. BIM stands for Building Information Modeling and it means that well as creating 2D or 3D  drawings for plans, sections, and elevations, you can draw walls floors and roofs in Vectorworks and use these to create live plans, sections and elevations, as well as extracting other information from the model like a finish schedule, door and window schedule, and other information like wall areas and glass areas. BIM is not just a new catch phrase, it is also a more efficient way of creating drawings in Vectorworks. This course will suit :
Any designer getting started with Vectorworks, but able to use basic tools; any designer that would like to change from 2D drawing to the most effective way of drawing in Vectorworks. How can you use Vectorworks for BIM? That is what this online course is designed to show you. From the comfort of your own office you can attend this course online.

Vector-workout is a downloadable movie based training resource offering fast and easy access to instructive movies, ideal for sharpening vectorworks skills quickly. Jonathan Pickup, the author, said “a client told me recently ‘I’m too lazy to read the manuals, just give me the information. Quickly!’ So, I’ve rethought how to deliver Vectorworks training resources as visual tools. Vector-workout is the result – it’s a visual teaching revolution for Vectorworks. As they say, a picture tells a thousand words, and Vector-workout kits do this brilliantly Ð movies are the perfect alternative to slogging through endless textbooks” Vector-workout training manual kits use pdf files with embedded self contained movies. When you open the files with Acrobat Reader, you have bookmarks on the left-hand side for quick access to the movies. Acrobat Reader has a built-in search function, so you can type in a word or phrase and have Acrobat search for you. Vector-workout kits are structured in a logical way, and can be used sequentially. This allows the user to start with basic principles and work though the kit in a structured way, as you would do with a textbook manual. Alternately, they can be used non-sequentially – just use Acrobat Reader to find the specific movie you want and work smarter. We will launching a full range of Vector-workout kits soon, so there will be a variety of resources for all levels of user experience and design fields. These kits are very easy to use and so flexible that we know architects, designers, landscapers, etc, will find them ideal from improving their skills and productivity. Because Vector-workout kits are movie based, Archoncad offer it by web download, for instant access. When you purchase one of these, you will be sent a link to download the kit, along with a password to unlock it. Each kit purchased will automatically entitle you to free download updates for that specific kit.
