PACL1976This is a course for working architects and other building designer professionals on how to leverage the hidden strengths of Vectorworks Architect® to increase drafting output and cut down on errors requiring costly addendums, while reducing working hours and staff requirements and impressing clients at presentations.
Who Should Attend?
- Working architects and other building designer professionals
- Beneficial both to beginners and to established users who haven't had time to learn the software thoroughly and feel they could benefit from a good grounding
Learning Outcomes:
- Detailed and illustrated online reference notes will allow everyone to progress at their own speed, during lessons and at home.
- Learn to make proper and efficient use of the software's design tools in the context of a three-storey townhouse, from conceptual design through creating construction drawings and renderings, at scales ranging from key plan down to detail.
Facilitator: Jonathan Stoppi studied architecture at the Architectural Association in London during the 1980s, amongst the first intake to use computer-aided-design on standard Macintosh computers. Throughout most of the 1990s, he advised and trained dozens of architects and designers in the UK and elsewhere in the use of Vectorworks Architect®(formerly MiniCAD) and other software. His series of books on Architectural Drafting in MiniCAD became a standard text on the subject for thousands of professionals worldwide. In 2002, he moved with his family to Victoria, where he has been working as designer and technologist.
