I'm thinking of ditching Vectorworks 12.5 (yes I'm still using it!), but not sure I can create the plans I will need in the UK for Building Control and for construction information.

For example, if I'm building a model of say a house with a brick and block insulation cavity wall, do I need to build those elements separately in the model i.e. 18mm plaster, 100mm block, 50mm insulation, 50mm cavity, 100mm brickwork, so that when I cut a plan view my drawing shows the construction, or is there a wall type you can use like in Vectorworks where you draw a wall combined of the elements you need?

I don't have a massive turnover as a sole practitioner architect, so am attracted by the versatility and value of SU, but having used it only for 3D sketch models, I'm not sure I can make the leap of faith to using it as a full construction package.

Any advice greatly received.
