Introduction to Vectorworks for Audio Personnel

with Daniel Perelstein Jaquette

A two part class!

Monday, January 6th and Monday, January 13th

5pm – 6:30pm

Introduction to Vectorworks for Audio Personnel is a two-part introduction to Vectorworks and basic drafting of loudspeaker positions. In the first 90-minute session (January 6), we will cover the basics of the software Vectorworks including navigation, organization, and commonly used tools from the basic toolset in both 2D and 3D environments. In the second session (January 13), we will go over a methodology for importing and manipulating loudspeakers using a combination of the built-in speaker tool and manufacturer’s DWGs to produce a unique best-of-both-worlds approach. We will talk about the usage of sheet layer viewports to present your work in plan, section, and custom views. Time-permitting, we will scratch the surface of rendering. There will be time for questions at the end of each session, and a trial version of Vectorworks may be available for workshop participants.
