This comprehensive tutorial introduces essential 3D modeling operations in Vectorworks, covering nine fundamental techniques that form the foundation of scenic design modeling. You'll learn how to create 3D geometry from 2D shapes using Extrude, combine multiple solids using Add/Subtract/Intersect operations, create complex forms with Section Solids, build stepped profiles with Multiple Extrude, generate tapered shapes, create rotational forms with Sweep, and apply profiles along custom paths with Extrude Along Path. The tutorial demonstrates practical applications for each technique, including creating walls, moldings, organic forms, and architectural details. You'll also learn essential concepts like working with the Z-plane, understanding object stacking order, managing profile centerlines, and using the Split tool on 3D objects. This tutorial provides the complete toolkit needed to begin creating professional 3D scenic elements in Vectorworks.
