"I hope this has been really helpful,."
Oh, yes. From these principles, I can work out a lot. Well done, and thank you. Subscribed.
Thank you! I had never opened VW before and your video was the first one I found on TH-cam. I have learned a lot and this video got me excited to continue this new journey. Thank you!
IATSe Local One member appreciates this, thank you Johnathan D. Martin
I owe you my life!!!!! This video was REALLY helpful! Thank you so much!
Absolutely great crash course. I am well versed in Vectorworks and this is legit. Thank you for creating this, it gives me somewhere to point people to when they say they want to learn Vectorworks. Learn this first and then you'll learn ways to make it faster.
Thank you man! J
This was incredibly helpful. Thanks
Found this video very helpful and really basic... Like a newbee can get started with this... thanks John...
great explanation, really thanks
very easy to understand and follow. thank you very much
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!
loved it! thanks so much.
Glad you enjoyed it! J
Thanks!
hi Jon, great video. Im using Spotlight 2022 and trying to find the icons to the left of the TOP view drop down. They look look like 3D plane icons....where are they hiding? thanks
Hi Johanthan, Thx for this video! Is there coming an in deep version soon?
Hi, can you do more vectorworks video tutorials?
thank you. pleas more tuts
How do you add a list with fixture and truss counts? Thanks
Why is my deafult design layer different than yours? I'm using the exact same version. Could it be because my loads in metric because of where I am and yours is imperial?
CAN WE TRANSFER 3DS MAX FILE TO VECTOR WORKS AND RENDER?
Hello! I am trying to follow along and build my own set but for some reason everything is just showing up as outline when I go 3D. I have no idea what I could have done but if you have any suggestions I greatly appreciate it! This video has been so helpful because I haven't used Vectorworks in a few years and forgot how the program works entirely!!!
It probably has to do with your rendering style. In the top right of your VW workspace, you should see a little teapot icon. Click that and you should have multiple rendering options. You might currently be in wireframe or sketch, maybe try switching to shaded. Lmk if that works! J
@@JonathanDMartinLD having the same issue! I only have shaded and wire frame, I selected shaded and still just showing a wireframe for my stage.
I don't have event design or create stage. I've always used extrude and it turns everything to just outline so I want to level up from that. Please advise! I'm on mac
Hey Annie! Those options are only in Spotlight. Check under "Tools" and scroll to the bottom where it says "Workspaces" and there you can change into Spotlight, assuming you own it or have the student version.
@@JonathanDMartinLD i am in spotlight, bult stage and its outlined...not solid black. How do I make it solid black? Im on a PC
thx
I'm trying to follow along but for some reason the stage that I create is not lined up with the grid...
I tried adjusting the units to feet and inches, I made sure it was in 1 : 48 scale, and arch D... I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing wrong but the stage is not centered to the grid or the grid is wrong some how...
Hey! Look through VW support, I'm sure you'll find some helpful stuff there: www.vectorworks.net/en-US/support - J
Why isnt my stage solid? or black? when I follow the steps and select front view with the Normal perspective I get a hollow box with no color. Please help.
Bit time ago but maybe someone else helps this:
Go to: View->Rendering->OpenGL
Im trying to watch... but the lip smacking is driving me crazyyyy lol :(
Omg. Slow down! Every single step you showed took me multiple tries because you were either too quick flipping through settings, or the settings I put in somehow turned out differently than when you did it. Maybe a quick pause and explanation of what parameters I'm actually applying as I apply them, and give me a second to actually do it. I've had to hit pause on this video like 100 times already.... gahhh
lol just pause the video and go back if needed.
