Set Designer Shows How to Make Stage Plans Using Vectorworks

[@stevenmitchell2298]

Fantastic! Thank you so much. I have avoided VW for quite awhile and just now learning it(Sketchup has been my only real design/drawing software). Your presentation is clear, concise and comforting. I will watch them all!

[@RaydonConcepts]

Amazing. I do all of my 3D modeling in SketchUp and I’m not a big fan of layout when I need to make any kind of plans. I’m buying the Vectorworks design suite license this week as it’s the last year they are offering it perpetually.

This is a thorough video! Keep up the great work!

[@SetDesignChannel]

Thanks! Will do!

[@HonorBriggs]

Love the videos! Please could you do one on traditional draughtsman drawing techniques, possibly for details? How you lay them out etc :)

[@goooooose234]

this would be really helpful

[@TimoGoesKnots]

Great stuff! -A Gaffer from Finland

[@macmugah844]

Good work make more videos on sketch up learning from Kenya

[@SetDesignChannel]

Really good to know we've got international viewership! Yes, I'd love to get more Sketchup content up soon.

Nice one Greg, great vid 👍

[@sft-globalinvestmentcommun4502]

Great job

[@theo.neilson]

Hey Greg, where did you get that scale bar from? The scale bar in Vectorworks is only in Metres. Did you make a custom one? Thanks!

[@SetDesignChannel]

I think you have to switch to feet in the file>document settings>units window and then make a new scale bar.

[@rossdanielart]

Is there any particular reason you choose to model in SketchUp in stead of just doing the modelling in vectorworks?

[@SetDesignChannel]

The concept stage is usually quite fast-paced and requires a lot of changes to things like furniture. Sketchup's 3D warehouse has a huge library of models and is easy to navigate. That and also that I often get sent basic models made in Sketchup and am asked to work off that. I will be making videos on modelling in vectorworks in future though!

hello, why in dark mode the scenic structures are with a brick appearance? is it possible to have the bridges as in wired mode. THANKS. Vectorworks 2023

[@SetDesignChannel]

I'm sorry, I can't quite work out which bit you're referring to. Can you let me know the time-code?

[@ivanaramburo4030]

What are your thoughts on rhino for set design career ?

[@SetDesignChannel]

It is getting more widely used now. I'm looking at investing into it myself.

[@ivanaramburo4030]

@@SetDesignChannel yes try it out it’s great ! And it provides nice 2D capabilities, used it a lot for architecture school, wanted to ask if set designer and production designer was the same thing ? Looking to jump into film which is something i’m passionate about. But don’t have that much info about it. Thx
