I’ve been teaching 3D in Vectorworks and Cinema 4D for over 15 years as an adjunct professor at NYU and FIT in New York. I’ve taught master classes at Princeton University, M.I.T, and for USA 829. Below is a sampling of free tutorials to get you started in the transition from 2D to 3D in Vectorworks: this series assumes you have a basic knowledge of working of the program with 2D shapes and geometry.
