(This CD is included with every copy of VectorWorks). Core Concepts CD provides an overview of the core concepts of VectorWorks. The concepts are covered in enough detail to get you started using the program faster than ever before. Our most frequently-asked questions from new users are now answered in this new, comprehensive training CD.
The VectorWorks Fundamentals Bundle includes VectorWorks Core Concepts (1 CD) and VectorWorks Essentials Training (1 CD). VectorWorks Essentials contains project-based tutorials that teach you important features of VectorWorks. You'll learn easy and productive methods to produce 2D drawings using snap constraints, dimensioning and annotations.
The brand-new Upgrade Companion was designed as a comprehensive CD to help upgrade users get up and running quickly on version 12. It also includes information on how to migrate existing workspaces forward, as well as information on what 10 users may have missed in version 11.
This 4 CDs will teach you how to create a residential addition with the new wall, window and door tools found in version 12. You'll also learn many of VectorWorks Architect's intelligent annotation tools. Other tutorials lead the learner through a schematic design for a public library, importing and editing a site survey, and much more.
You'll learn the typical workflows associated with scenic and stage lighting design. In the first tutorial, you'll learn to set up a drawing using a basic file structure with layers and classes. Other tutorials will teach the essential layout elements of both house and stage, including seating, masking, lighting instruments and accessories.
Through our project-based tutorials, you will learn to lay out the basic geometry of a site plan using the program's 2D drafting tools, as well as the new Place Plant tool and improved site modeling commands in version 12. Then, you'll learn to add basic planting information with annotations.
The four tutorials included in this training CD will teach you the lighting, texturing and rendering tools and techniques you need to make your 3D designs really stand out. Version 12 features include radiosity, new physical lighting attributes, new area and line weights and volumetric lighting. Apply to all VectorWorks' products.

Create shpes in SketchUp and transfer them to Nemetschek VectorWorks 12 for a complete design-to-construction solution with the new SketchUp plug-in for VectorWorks.
With this plug-in, you can reuse preliminary conceptual models or designs you created using SketchUp. Less time duplicating your drawings means more time practicing your craft and perfecting other phases in your project’s life cycle. And you can continue with more complex aspects of your design process, moving data further down the design path without having to retrace any steps.
