      I am doing now su for 4 years and vray for about 2 years. Self taught. Me and Free agent used to work together and we helped each other to get into sketchup and vray. Sketchup is easy to learn and a lot of plugins helps you to do better models in quicker time. Thats what makes su so great. Vray is kind of a steep learning curve, but once you kinda know how to use it, you can use it in other platforms too. The interface is the same in other applications. So its a good thing to learn it. You can contact me if you need help, and ill help and support where i can. In modeling or in vray.

                  12 panel each one is a A1 sheet.So the presentation was quite a huge board

                    Hi there Silver,

                      The plans were done in Vectorworks, exported to pdf, and imported to photoshop cs2
                      The elevations were done in Su, rendered in Vray and touched up in cs2
                      Sections were first made from su, brought into vectorworks for cleanup and then pdf and cs2
                      But final composition were made in Photoshop. Glad you like it

                              SO as a vectorworks user, do you recomend a AutoCAD user to switch or use both??
                              because i've seen some great work (PLANS) done by Vectorworks...and yours makes me want to learn this software even more, and also to improve my presentations.

                                Well i must say..i like vetorworks a bit more than autocad. But it comes down to user preferences.
                                You can draw just a sfast as you can in autocad if you get to know it better and set up some basic shortcuts, and it also do have a 3d package in it, really bad, but overall i like it. worth while learning it.
                                It has got layers, classes and saved sheets. Layers you can group all your pens which is switched on and off into layers and have them as groups switched on or off. It has got viewports also. Further on on the new vectorworks 2008 you have pens and fills you can make transparent, like if you want to make glass, draw in a class you set up called glass and give it transparency like su and it will show it like that in cad, anything behind it will still show depending on transparency.So id say its not a bad program to learn and also quite easy to learn it too. If you walk into a firm not knowing vworks, ill bet you you will be running the program by the end of the week, if no one really helps you.

                                    you choose an elevation in sketchup, no perspective..set up the shadows and make sure you got the new vray installed and render it using the default camera 😉

                                      Always a pleasure to see your work. I use Vectorworks as well as Acad, but I prefer VW, but agree that it is users choice. Before SketchUp I used to do all my 3D stuff in VW. Way more complicated to do, but got pretty good final results.
                                      Anyway, Love your work.

                                      Just monkeying around....like Monsanto

                                          You have been busy.

                                          and yeah, vectorworks is more like drawing on a drawing board. it has a bit more of a graphical approach instead of the technical approach of Autocad, at least that is how I use it (I never touch the BIM module).
                                          On the other hand, it seems that both Vectorworks as Autocad will be obsolete...as Revit seems to be taking over drafting (and documenting) in arch firms nowadays.
