Good evening. from two years to this part I am a mac user, I have recently discovered the existence of the program vectorworks, from many considered superior to the many software present on the market (from revit to archicad). There are those who praise the versatility and freedom of this program and therefore I decided that in my training course, it would be useful to acquire more knowledge on this program. the difficulties were many, although behind I had a good training in the use of programs such as autocad, archicad, cinema and others. However I cannot fail to appreciate in vw the ability to manage the workflow in my opinion unequaled today, even by the historical autocad father of every architect and engineer. I would like to make this brief introduction to you experts some problems I have encountered in the use of vw, in the hope that they can be solved:
1. I don't find in resource management a good library of restraints. at least the basic ones used in restoration and architectural practice. Can you give me directions?
2. When I create a parametric wall, and I check to this the various components of the wall, in high view, drawing a rectangular perimeter of a house, I find that the restraints have a solution of continuity in the corners. I said that this problem is due to the fact that the walls, designed by means of the appropriate "muro" parametric command, even if drawn in sequence (intendo the way of tracking the wall by broken) the software recognizes for each mouse click a separate wall from the next, therefore the retino that will be assigned will be tied to the only piece of wall and therefore the second adjacent wall will have in the corner a different retino attack; therefore I will find myself in high view of the solutions of continuity in the corners. Is there a solution to this? I see many tutorials and elaborate products from vw, in which this problem is not visible.
3. Is there a way to draw variable section walls without losing the parametric properties of the wall?
4. Is there a command similar to the joint command (join) of autocad?
5. in modeling 3d (not parametric, so I speak of solids), is it possible to move the vertices or edges of a solid? or vw only works for faces like autocad? I refer to the skills of modelers such as cinema4d that allow to work a solid through its vertices, faces and edges.
I ask in advance for my gaps in the use of the program and in the lack of technical property of language, but I hope I was understandable in explaining my problems. in thanking you in advance for your patience I look like your disappointments. Thank you.
