Jonathan Reeves provides Vectorworks BIM Training course in Edinburgh for design led practice Somner MacDonald Architects.

27/8/2017

" We’d thought long and hard about the future with Vectorworks.  Pressure from other consultants and from bigger projects was moving us in the direction of Revit.  We had also been looking for some training (3D / BIM) for some time.  Previous experience of CAD training was mixed - too much focus on selling and too generalised.  It hadn’t worked for us.

We came across Jonathan Reeves and felt we could work with him.  He’s also a practising architect, which helps, of course, and someone who understood what we were doing and shared some of our aspirations.

We are a small practice, manly working in the private residential sector.  We think of ourselves as a step up form the usual small practice.  We think big, we’re experienced and we work hard.  Our projects are, of course, design focused.  But we take the whole package seriously - budget control, contract, attention to detail and client hand-holding.

We’ve just completed a 2 day course with Jonathan.  We were clear about what we wanted to learn.  We’re sticking with VW and wanted to develop our 3D & modelling skills.  We want to address and engage with the whole BIM thing, with outer consultants, and for the future.

The training went really well.  Jonathan picked up immediately on our goals and he wasted no time in direct hands on training.  It was intense and productive.  We put into practice straight away what we are being taught and this showed us how well or not we were picking things up.

The biggest thing for us is to have got to know a fellow professional, with skills we can learn from.  We will be keeping in touch, we’ll be having more training and this is exactly the support that progressive practices like ours need".


With thanks. Nigel Somner, Principal Architect

Sneak Peak at Vectorworks 2018- Revit Import 2.0

24/8/2017

0 Comments

 
First up is improved Revit import, as part of our efforts to enhance the usability of existing features. In Vectorworks 2018, you’ll be able to import Revit building objects such as doors, windows, roofs, and walls as native Vectorworks objects. 
​

You’ll also be able to import Revit Textures as Native Renderworks Textures, as well as have additional control over what is imported and how. You can learn more about the feature and see what others are saying in our forum.
For other objects, you can choose whether to import them as Mesh objects, 3D Polygons or convert to Solid Objects.

Vectorworks always their users first, and that’s why this year we’re letting you be the first to see the exciting things to come in Vectorworks 2018 with our Teaser Tuesdays.

Multiple Drawing Views
Some things — like drawing views — are better together. With the new Enable Multiple Views command, you’ll be able to see multiple views simultaneously and switch between viewports, views, and visibility settings to do what you need.

This feature will also let you easily gauge the impact of a design change across your 3D, section, and elevation views.
" Amazing and important new feature for Vectorworks 3D and BIM workflows! This will make 3d modelling and presentations so much easier, and I can't wait to start using it soon!"
