Archoncad Offers VectorWorks Training Courses

From Napier, New Zealand, Archoncad has announced that it has developed a series of VectorWorks training courses. These courses are designed to lead the user from very little understanding of VectorWorks to a position where they can use the full power of VectorWorks.

Hands On Approach

The courses are all "hands on" and are based on the concept that the user gets more out of the course if they carry out the work themselves. Because of this the classes have to be kept small so that the tutor can see what each student is up to and make sure that all the students are up to speed. The courses all have a series of exercises that should be carried out. Each exercise is accompanied by extensive notes so that the users can follow, but more importantly, they can review the notes when the course has finished and complete the exercises again in their own time.

Details

The courses cover everything from getting started to customizing VectorWorks:

  • VectorWorks For Beginners
  • VectorWorks Architect
  • Dealing with Roofs
  • Site Modelling
  • Setting Up Projects
  • Worksheets
  • Rendering
  • Customizing VectorWorks

A detailed description of these courses has been uploaded to the ArchonCAD website: http://www.archoncad.co.nz

Archoncad (Architecture on CAD Ltd.) is a private company in New Zealand specializing in providing training Resource's for VectorWorks since 1995. Archoncad has written several manuals covering most aspects of VectorWorks. All the manuals are written in a conversational style of English, so that they are easy to read with a minimum of jargon.
