Vectorworks software offers many powerful tools, giving you the flexibility to approach a design task in a variety of ways. With so many options, how do you determine the best workflow for your needs?<\/h2>\n

In this article, you\u2019ll explore key modeling techniques used by Vectorworks product experts to create the custom record player featured at the top of this page. Along the way, you\u2019ll gain valuable insights into commonly used tools and their applications, helping you make more informed decisions about your own modeling process.<\/p>\n

Best of all, every technique showcased here is available in Vectorworks Fundamentals, meaning you can achieve stunning, professional-quality models no matter which Vectorworks product you use.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Design Layer Navigation<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

Vectorworks 2025<\/a> introduced\u00a0On-Screen View Control\u00a0and\u00a0Object-Level Visibility, two features designed to streamline the way you move around your Vectorworks file<\/a>. Though they\u2019re not technically \u201cmodeling features,\u201d they were used extensively in the creation of this turntable for the host of benefits they provide to any modeling process.<\/p>\n

On-Screen View Control gives you access to a cube at the bottom left of your design layer. You can use this cube to rotate and \u201cfly\u201d around your model. Edges, corners, and faces of the cube are also intuitively mapped to the viewing options you\u2019re used to, like top\/plan and all the various isometric views.<\/p>\n

Object-Level Visibility is great for working on the kinds of intricate details in this model. Instead of manipulating objects\u2019 visibilities with classes and layers \u2014 which can get tedious if you\u2019re working with a lot of small, unrelated details \u2014 you can use this feature to quickly isolate a single object so you can focus on that object alone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Sweep command<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

Using the\u00a0Sweep\u00a0command, you can start from 2D linework<\/a> to generate 3D shapes around a set point. This technique is responsible for the circular speaker in the record player, as shown below.<\/p>\n

With\u00a0Arc Angle\u00a0set to 360 degrees, the software will rotate \u2014 or \u201csweep\u201d \u2014 this shape around a central point, also known as a centroid, to generate 3D geometry. This command is useful for creating unique shapes in very little time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Add\/Subtract Solids<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

The\u00a0Add, Intersect,\u00a0and\u00a0Subtract Solids\u00a0commands allow you to combine or subtract two or more different 3D objects. Highlighting two objects and selecting the Add Solids command will convert the two objects into one. The Subtract Solids command is useful for clipping away a section from a base object by using a second object to define the shape of the subtraction.<\/p>\n

The Subtract Solids command was used on this turntable to create the holes where the knobs and buttons go at the base of the console.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Extrude Along Path<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

The\u00a0Extrude Along Path\u00a0command is a crucial one in your toolbelt that will extrude a profile object along a given path. You\u2019ll need to draw two objects for this command \u2014 the first is your profile, which is a flat 2D representation of the shape you want the entire object to look like. The second is your path, which can be a simple line or NURBS curve.<\/p>\n

This command was used to create the ribbed shell surrounding this turntable. In the image above, you can see a red rectangle that was used as the profile object. The orange ring was the path \u2014 after using the command, all that was left to do to form the shell\u2019s shape was to copy and paste the extruded path until the desired result was achieved. Extrude Along Path was also used to create the cable connecting the speaker to the turntable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

History-Based Modeling<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

It\u2019s not science fiction \u2014 you can go back in time in Vectorworks software.<\/p>\n

This feature allows you to navigate back through modeling operations you took on an object. You\u2019ll see a menu containing a selected object\u2019s history in the\u00a0Object Info Palette.\u00a0Selecting an operation that you took from the list will highlight the area of the model affected by that operation.<\/p>\n

One major advantage of History-Based Modeling is that you can copy and paste components from an object\u2019s history to use in other parts of your model. If you want to reuse the same profile object on a new path for an Extrude Along Path command, for example, you can simply copy and paste the profile object from your original object\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Texturing to add detail<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

Real-world objects often aren\u2019t a singular, flat color. In this project, to achieve a more realistic texture on the record itself, our team found an image of a record online, then used the AI Visualiser to stylise that image. This stylised image was then saved as a texture to the Resource Manager, where you can easily apply it to the model.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

The next step in your modeling journey<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

As you can see, all these modeling operations are incredibly simple to do, yet, when you add them all together, the result is much greater than the sum of parts. Whether you\u2019re using On-Screen View Control for navigation or leveraging commands like Sweep and Extrude Along Path, these tools empower you to bring your creative visions to life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
