![]() ![]() Layers will be set to the correct real world RL.įor demo drawings I just create floor plans, elevation viewports of the extg model and in vp annotations place a Red Cross hatch over items to be removed plus explanatory notes as required.įor proposed drawings I duplicate the layers of my nice accurate extg model and change the layer name suffix to “ - Prop”. Also everything in the extg model is also placed in classes which have a “_Extg” suffix in their class name. These layers have an “- Extg” Suffix in the layer name. Model the extg building accurately.with seperate Site, Floors & Walls, Ceilings, Roofs layers. I think there have already been some discussions about renovations here on the Forum. Filters and Saved Views may help for Visibility Management.Īnd basically I don't see any difference for that kind of Separation of states between ( ACAD=Model Space) as well as in Viewports on Sheet Layers ( ACAD=Paper Space)Īs much as you want. In case those 3 states will not need to many extra Classes,īeside you can toggle Classes and/or Layers on and off in DesignLayers That could interfere wich Wall Connections or Slab Auto Binding when beingĪlso you won't save much if you want different Appearance and PIO-Styles I would create 3 Layers for each Story, 1 for each.īecause for me it is easier to switch between states. I personally would prefer to use VW Layers ( ACAD=n/a) It also depends on the project and how complex your Class ( ACAD=Layer) Setup is. I think each user prefers his own unique aproach of many available. Any recommendations or examples of workflow would be greatly appreciated. I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to achieve this in Vectorworks 3D drawing. Does anyone have suggestions for a seamless way to integrate classes in a 3D model that clearly shows existing, demolition and new construction? In AutoCad 2D draughting it's just a matter of creating a plan where layers (classes) are toggled on and off to show the desired information. This works well for 2D drawing but I'm having trouble trying trying to figure out how to set up a drawing for 3D modelling. ![]() ![]() I tend to define a set of classes for the existing house with the prefix EX while new construction gets prefixed with CD (construction development/document). I'm having trouble figuring out how to model in 3D in a way that I can show the walls of the existing home, the walls to be demolished and the new construction. I'd like to be able to handle the entire workflow in Vectorworks, which I typically use for new builds. However, I then often end up having to model in SketchUp to help homeowners visualize spaces. I do a lot of home renovations but typically do those drawings in AutoCad because it's quick and easy. ![]()
