Vectorworks BIM Workshop in Austin
Summary:
The BIM (Building Information Model) Workshop is a two-day hands-on Vectorworks training workshop taught by Austin Architect Francois Levy.

While the class will be taught using the latest version of Vectorworks, users of earlier versions will also benefit.
Topics Include:
1. Using hybrid 2D and 3D intelligent parametric objects such as site models, walls, windows, doors, stairs, etc.
2. File organization and maximizing the effectiveness of classes, design and sheet layers, and viewports for efficiently extracting views of a building model
3. General 3D modeling
4. Embedding data in hybrid objects and generating tabular views (reports) such as door and window schedules, area takeoffs, and building performance calculations
5. Team collaboration using workgroup references, including integrating DWG (AutoCAD files) in your workflow, and importing and exporting IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) files
