Columbia, Md. (PRWEB) March 13, 2014
Nemetschek Vectorworks, Inc. is pleased to announce the publication of a new training guide for users of Vectorworks® software: Vectorworks Essentials Tutorial Manual, Sixth Edition.
This tutorial, written by expert Vectorworks trainer Jonathan Pickup, is a must-have workbook for anyone new to Vectorworks software, and it has been updated for the 2014 version of the program. The book includes an introduction to the Vectorworks interface; a section to familiarize readers with tools and commands; an introduction to 3D modeling; tips on organizing information to create models, drawings and reports; and a discussion about using worksheets. Notes and practice exercises throughout the tutorial and on an accompanying DVD provide additional guidance.
“While we offer several different training options, we know some of our customers prefer to learn at their own pace, and our training guides fulfill that need,” said Jeremy Powell, director of product marketing at Nemetschek Vectorworks, Inc. “Jonathan Pickup’s tutorials have been used by design firms as a training tool for staff and by universities as a resource for students, and we’re pleased to offer this updated edition of his Essentials Tutorial as it provides a solid foundation of understanding for those new to the program.”
“Vectorworks Essentials is fabulous in many ways,” said Jan Latham, a CAD tutor at Waikato Institute of Technology (Wintek) in New Zealand. “I have not taught before … and the manual is working out great as it breaks all the processes down into easy to follow steps. It has jogged my memory on how to do things in other ways and is already organized into a logical progression, so I can work through it chapter by chapter, building on the student’s knowledge.”
This book is a part of Nemetschek Vectorworks’ self-paced training options. For more information and to purchase this tutorial, please visit http://www.vectorworks.net/training/guides.php.
