1
00:00:01,732 --> 00:00:02,265
Hi folks.

2
00:00:02,265 --> 00:00:07,131
Welcome
back to a series of videos on Vectorworks,

3
00:00:07,664 --> 00:00:10,529
which is drawing and modeling software

4
00:00:10,529 --> 00:00:13,728
that is used--well
for a variety of reasons--but

5
00:00:13,728 --> 00:00:18,394
we are using it to draw and model scenery

6
00:00:18,394 --> 00:00:21,859
and lighting for theatrical productions.

7
00:00:22,792 --> 00:00:25,725
This second video is going to talk a bit
about navigating

8
00:00:25,725 --> 00:00:29,590
and understanding
this main screen here on Vectorworks.

9
00:00:29,590 --> 00:00:32,656
And your screen,
as long as you haven't gone in

10
00:00:32,656 --> 00:00:37,054
and and made some adjustments already,
your screen should look

11
00:00:37,054 --> 00:00:40,920
fairly similar
to what you see in front of you.

12
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,719
And if it doesn't, that's OK.

13
00:00:42,719 --> 00:00:46,118
We're going to get everyone
on the same page today

14
00:00:47,184 --> 00:00:48,984
after you watch this video.

15
00:00:48,984 --> 00:00:50,916
We'll all be pretty uniform.

16
00:00:50,916 --> 00:00:53,316
OK, so

17
00:00:53,316 --> 00:00:54,848
first things first.

18
00:00:54,848 --> 00:00:56,181
This tab, right?

19
00:00:56,181 --> 00:00:57,914
This will have the file name.

20
00:00:57,914 --> 00:00:59,447
So you can see I haven't saved this file.

21
00:00:59,447 --> 00:01:02,979
So it's still untitled
and I've had so far six of those.

22
00:01:04,046 --> 00:01:06,978
So Untitled six is the file name there.

23
00:01:06,978 --> 00:01:09,444
And of course, this says
just educational version.

24
00:01:09,710 --> 00:01:13,176
And if you could see the whole tab,
it would mimic what you see up here

25
00:01:13,176 --> 00:01:14,575
at the top of the page.

26
00:01:14,575 --> 00:01:17,575
Untitled six educational version
watermarked file.

27
00:01:17,908 --> 00:01:19,907
Right
and yours probably says the same thing.

28
00:01:20,907 --> 00:01:23,706
Below that tab, there's this ribbon

29
00:01:24,172 --> 00:01:26,305
of a toolbar, right?

30
00:01:27,038 --> 00:01:29,437
And this, again,
should be fairly consistent

31
00:01:29,837 --> 00:01:33,703
across your across
everyone's screen, right?

32
00:01:33,703 --> 00:01:36,302
Hopefully everyone's looks
just about the same.

33
00:01:36,302 --> 00:01:39,567
If it doesn't at the end of that toolbar,

34
00:01:39,701 --> 00:01:43,033
you should have a little carrot here,
a little arrow pointing down.

35
00:01:43,499 --> 00:01:45,832
And if you'll click on that,

36
00:01:45,832 --> 00:01:51,630
you can see what is checked here
and just go ahead and take a second.

37
00:01:51,697 --> 00:01:54,962
If you need to pause the video and check,

38
00:01:54,962 --> 00:01:59,361
make sure everything is turned on or off
that you see here.

39
00:01:59,694 --> 00:02:01,294
All right. Everything should be

40
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:03,160
as it is.

41
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,559
And I'm just going to do a quick double
check.

42
00:02:05,559 --> 00:02:09,558
Yep. That's that's
you could if you wanted,

43
00:02:10,024 --> 00:02:13,490
you could uncheck this data
visualizations.

44
00:02:14,023 --> 00:02:15,089
All right.

45
00:02:15,489 --> 00:02:17,422
Let me bring that up one more time.

46
00:02:17,422 --> 00:02:19,821
Perfect.
So just go ahead and take a second.

47
00:02:20,354 --> 00:02:23,687
Make sure everything matches up for you.

48
00:02:26,086 --> 00:02:26,819
All right.

49
00:02:27,685 --> 00:02:29,018
Moving ahead,

50
00:02:29,951 --> 00:02:32,017
let's look at the bar just below

51
00:02:32,017 --> 00:02:34,283
this little ribbon,
just below the tool bar.

52
00:02:35,016 --> 00:02:36,816
And you'll see this first part--oh.

53
00:02:36,816 --> 00:02:39,148
And here we go right here.

54
00:02:39,215 --> 00:02:40,948
Is that pop up

55
00:02:41,348 --> 00:02:44,946
that that happens
when I've had a file open.

56
00:02:44,946 --> 00:02:48,545
And you may remember in the preferences
I set mine for every 10 minutes.

57
00:02:49,412 --> 00:02:51,944
So here it is popping up

58
00:02:52,011 --> 00:02:55,743
after 10 minutes, letting you know
that I made a mistake the previous time I

59
00:02:56,743 --> 00:02:59,009
tried to record this this file.

60
00:02:59,009 --> 00:03:02,341
And so my my Vectorworks
has been open more than 10 minutes.

61
00:03:02,341 --> 00:03:06,006
So I'm just going to say for now,
don't back up this document,

62
00:03:06,673 --> 00:03:10,272
right, for the remainder of the session
and then go ahead and click no

63
00:03:12,204 --> 00:03:14,803
just so we don't see that pop up again
and bother us.

64
00:03:16,003 --> 00:03:18,269
If we were working on something

65
00:03:18,269 --> 00:03:22,401
important--you
know, a design or a drawing,

66
00:03:23,001 --> 00:03:26,333
you probably would have wanted
to go ahead and hit yes, please do

67
00:03:26,866 --> 00:03:29,332
back up this drawing.

68
00:03:29,332 --> 00:03:32,931
OK, so as I was saying,
the second ribbon down below

69
00:03:32,931 --> 00:03:37,063
that main toolbar
has a couple of sort of dual purposes.

70
00:03:37,063 --> 00:03:38,729
Right? And this is a...

71
00:03:39,262 --> 00:03:43,194
we're going to call this the tool
data bar.

72
00:03:43,461 --> 00:03:44,461
All right.

73
00:03:44,527 --> 00:03:49,059
So here on this side,
this set of tools will change

74
00:03:49,059 --> 00:03:52,858
depending upon
which tool I have selected over here.

75
00:03:52,858 --> 00:03:54,924
So just for a second, keep your eye

76
00:03:55,924 --> 00:03:56,657
on this set of

77
00:03:56,657 --> 00:04:00,189
tools as I switch to the rectangle tool.

78
00:04:00,389 --> 00:04:02,655
All right. It changed, right?
You saw that.

79
00:04:03,188 --> 00:04:05,987
The circle tool--changed again, right?

80
00:04:05,987 --> 00:04:08,253
The mirror tool--changed again.

81
00:04:08,653 --> 00:04:10,186
All right. So that's going to...

82
00:04:10,186 --> 00:04:10,852
those are going to be

83
00:04:10,852 --> 00:04:15,384
buttons--Those are going to be settings
that affect these tools and their use.

84
00:04:15,850 --> 00:04:16,184
All right.

85
00:04:16,184 --> 00:04:18,583
So for now,
I'm going to go back to my selection tool.

86
00:04:18,583 --> 00:04:19,782
And there we go.

87
00:04:19,782 --> 00:04:21,315
Right. So you could take a second

88
00:04:21,315 --> 00:04:23,648
just to make sure that your selection tool
matches mine.

89
00:04:25,514 --> 00:04:26,714
On this side of the screen,

90
00:04:26,714 --> 00:04:31,046
we have sort of more broad
based tools, right,

91
00:04:31,845 --> 00:04:35,244
that affect,
you know, a variety of different things.

92
00:04:35,777 --> 00:04:36,111
All right.

93
00:04:36,111 --> 00:04:38,710
So these are some of the defaults here.

94
00:04:39,509 --> 00:04:41,842
So, you know,

95
00:04:42,375 --> 00:04:44,508
orthogonal projection

96
00:04:45,174 --> 00:04:48,040
is where we want to be working in for now.

97
00:04:49,106 --> 00:04:52,239
The default render we're
just going to want that to be wireframe

98
00:04:52,239 --> 00:04:57,037
as opposed to OpenGL,
and the rest of these we'll leave alone.

99
00:04:57,037 --> 00:05:01,036
Now, something that may not be on
your data bar

100
00:05:01,436 --> 00:05:05,168
is this last button,
this show/hide grid button.

101
00:05:05,834 --> 00:05:09,033
So if it's not there, go ahead and click
this little karot at the end of the bar

102
00:05:09,833 --> 00:05:12,832
and make sure it's selected here.

103
00:05:12,832 --> 00:05:15,031
Right? Show grid OK,

104
00:05:16,431 --> 00:05:17,164
so click that.

105
00:05:17,164 --> 00:05:19,363
And then if it's not there,
it should appear

106
00:05:21,763 --> 00:05:23,495
and it may be on or off.

107
00:05:23,495 --> 00:05:27,427
But this button, this show/hide
grid, this affects whether or not

108
00:05:27,427 --> 00:05:32,026
we see these grid lines on our sheet
or on our screen.

109
00:05:32,026 --> 00:05:37,291
Now, you may not have this sheet laid
out on your screen yet, and that's OK.

110
00:05:38,091 --> 00:05:40,556
We'll talk about that in just a second.

111
00:05:40,556 --> 00:05:45,222
So if I turn the grid off right,
then those grid lines go away.

112
00:05:45,821 --> 00:05:50,220
OK, so again, just another way that the
software is a bit flexible allows you to

113
00:05:51,420 --> 00:05:52,486
you know,

114
00:05:52,886 --> 00:05:54,952
set your preferences
to whatever you need them to be.

115
00:05:57,551 --> 00:06:00,084
The other big thing that you see here,

116
00:06:00,350 --> 00:06:03,083
lining the edge,
maybe floating out in the middle,

117
00:06:03,482 --> 00:06:03,682
and then

118
00:06:03,682 --> 00:06:07,081
you may have an additional toolbar
floating up here at the top long and thin.

119
00:06:08,414 --> 00:06:10,214
These are

120
00:06:10,747 --> 00:06:12,480
palettes. All right.

121
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,012
So that's another big visual element
that you see here.

122
00:06:16,345 --> 00:06:19,810
And you may look down here at this palette
and think, oh,

123
00:06:19,810 --> 00:06:22,610
no, mine does not match.

124
00:06:23,609 --> 00:06:24,476
Well, let's fix that.

125
00:06:24,476 --> 00:06:26,208
If that's the case.

126
00:06:27,075 --> 00:06:30,141
So, we're going to go up here to tools,
all right.

127
00:06:30,474 --> 00:06:33,739
Workspaces,
and we're going to go all the way down

128
00:06:33,739 --> 00:06:36,272
and make sure this spotlight is selected.

129
00:06:37,405 --> 00:06:39,804
OK, so there should be

130
00:06:39,804 --> 00:06:43,336
a checkmark next to Spotlight.

131
00:06:43,336 --> 00:06:47,402
So just double check that that is there
and what will happen if it's not there

132
00:06:47,402 --> 00:06:48,335
and you select it is

133
00:06:48,335 --> 00:06:52,467
sometimes the screen may blink, may flash,
and that's just Vectorworks

134
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,199
working to change all of its tools

135
00:06:55,666 --> 00:06:58,865
into the spotlight defaults,

136
00:07:00,131 --> 00:07:02,064
and spotlight

137
00:07:02,797 --> 00:07:05,796
has a number of tool sets that are really
useful to us in the theater.

138
00:07:05,996 --> 00:07:09,328
So that's why we want to be
in that spotlight workspace.

139
00:07:09,328 --> 00:07:14,126
But as you can see, there are a number of
other workspaces included in Vectorworks

140
00:07:15,526 --> 00:07:15,726
All right.

141
00:07:15,726 --> 00:07:19,858
So once again,
tools, workspaces and spotlight.

142
00:07:19,924 --> 00:07:23,057
Just make sure that is selected there.

143
00:07:23,057 --> 00:07:23,323
All right.

144
00:07:23,323 --> 00:07:24,523
Excellent.

145
00:07:25,256 --> 00:07:27,922
We can, of course, customize our

146
00:07:28,322 --> 00:07:30,588
our workspaces if we want.

147
00:07:31,321 --> 00:07:34,453
And you may have seen that right
there, tools, workspaces, and we can edit

148
00:07:34,986 --> 00:07:39,385
the current workspace to add or subtract
a variety of things.

149
00:07:39,385 --> 00:07:41,651
You shouldn't need to do that.

150
00:07:41,651 --> 00:07:46,183
But if you discover a tool in Vectorworks
that you want to add to any of the tool

151
00:07:46,183 --> 00:07:49,782
sets that we'll talk about here in just
a bit, this is how you do it.

152
00:07:51,848 --> 00:07:52,181
All right.

153
00:07:52,181 --> 00:07:55,980
So I want to talk a little bit
more about the palettes

154
00:07:58,112 --> 00:08:01,045
in Vectorworks and

155
00:08:01,045 --> 00:08:03,977
sort of their their purpose,
their reason for being.

156
00:08:03,977 --> 00:08:07,309
So, first of all, if you need to see

157
00:08:07,309 --> 00:08:09,642
which palettes you have active

158
00:08:10,975 --> 00:08:13,374
let's select window

159
00:08:13,374 --> 00:08:18,372
palettes
and if there's a checkmark next to it,

160
00:08:19,505 --> 00:08:21,905
those are the palettes
that you should have

161
00:08:23,571 --> 00:08:24,104
visible.

162
00:08:24,104 --> 00:08:27,969
Now, as I said, you may have this resource
manager palette selected,

163
00:08:29,435 --> 00:08:32,368
and that typically is just this floating
bar here.

164
00:08:33,567 --> 00:08:34,234
You may

165
00:08:34,900 --> 00:08:38,632
not have the preview features selected.

166
00:08:38,966 --> 00:08:39,832
Right.

167
00:08:40,032 --> 00:08:44,231
Or you might just kind of depends
on, again, if you've played

168
00:08:44,231 --> 00:08:47,630
with the software yet at all
or you know how it kind of

169
00:08:47,630 --> 00:08:50,362
comes out of the box

170
00:08:51,628 --> 00:08:51,895
all right.

171
00:08:51,895 --> 00:08:54,427
So first things first.

172
00:08:54,427 --> 00:08:57,360
We do want to keep a couple of things.

173
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:02,025
We want to keep this basic toolset
we want to keep the tool set

174
00:09:02,158 --> 00:09:05,424
I'm sorry, this basic palette or
and keep the tool set palette.

175
00:09:06,024 --> 00:09:09,223
And we want to keep our attributes
in our snapping palette.

176
00:09:09,822 --> 00:09:13,821
We also want to keep the object
info palette here on the right

177
00:09:13,821 --> 00:09:17,220
and the navigation palette
also over on the right.

178
00:09:17,820 --> 00:09:23,151
But as I maybe indicated before,
we can get rid of this resource browser.

179
00:09:23,151 --> 00:09:28,416
And you can do that just by hitting this X
or by going back to window

180
00:09:28,883 --> 00:09:34,281
palettes and clicking on resource
manager to de-select it.

181
00:09:35,214 --> 00:09:36,214
All right.

182
00:09:36,414 --> 00:09:38,946
Now your attributes and snapping

183
00:09:38,946 --> 00:09:42,279
palettes may be separate,
that may be somewhere else.

184
00:09:42,612 --> 00:09:43,212
So let's talk

185
00:09:43,212 --> 00:09:47,010
just for a second about a little way
to kind of customize these things.

186
00:09:47,677 --> 00:09:52,475
I don't like these two floating
palettes out here, kind of all separate.

187
00:09:52,942 --> 00:09:57,140
So I'm going to go ahead and add
my snapping palette back to the attributes

188
00:09:57,140 --> 00:10:00,539
palette there.
So that's one big palette OK.

189
00:10:00,739 --> 00:10:05,871
Now if I want,
I can also drag this palette over

190
00:10:05,871 --> 00:10:11,069
and connect it to my tool sets
palette right.

191
00:10:11,536 --> 00:10:14,801
It doesn't seem to want to do it
right now.

192
00:10:14,801 --> 00:10:16,934
I'm going to click here,

193
00:10:16,934 --> 00:10:19,067
just a single palette at a time

194
00:10:20,133 --> 00:10:20,400
right?

195
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,465
And then I could put my snapping palette
there and then their ultimate you know,

196
00:10:24,465 --> 00:10:27,131
there's ultimate adjustability
as far as where they

197
00:10:28,064 --> 00:10:30,863
where they sit over there, OK,

198
00:10:33,329 --> 00:10:34,462
all right. Very good.

199
00:10:34,462 --> 00:10:39,593
I want to make sure my tool sets
plenty of room there and great.

200
00:10:40,327 --> 00:10:40,660
All right.

201
00:10:40,660 --> 00:10:44,459
So as you play with the software know
that you can place those palettes

202
00:10:45,525 --> 00:10:48,391
wherever you want to place them. OK,

203
00:10:50,723 --> 00:10:52,189
and if I wanted this to stay

204
00:10:52,189 --> 00:10:54,255
here, I could go to file

205
00:10:55,255 --> 00:10:59,254
save as template
and I could adjust that default template.

206
00:10:59,387 --> 00:10:59,587
Right.

207
00:10:59,587 --> 00:11:03,986
So default stay and I'll hit save
and I'll replace the existing one

208
00:11:03,986 --> 00:11:06,651
that we created in that first video.

209
00:11:07,051 --> 00:11:07,318
All right.

210
00:11:07,318 --> 00:11:11,383
So now in theory, when I open Vectorworks
back up my snapping

211
00:11:11,383 --> 00:11:14,782
and attributes,
palettes will be sitting right there.

212
00:11:16,648 --> 00:11:18,848
OK, so what do these palettes

213
00:11:18,981 --> 00:11:21,647
do I think that's
probably even more important.

214
00:11:21,980 --> 00:11:25,779
So we're going to spend a whole video
looking at some of the basic

215
00:11:25,779 --> 00:11:28,378
tools, most basic tools, actually,

216
00:11:28,911 --> 00:11:32,110
and some of these tool sets
that are going to be most useful to us.

217
00:11:32,177 --> 00:11:35,509
I'm not going to spend a lot of time
on those other than to say

218
00:11:35,975 --> 00:11:38,908
that's where most of your interaction
with Vectorworks will occur.

219
00:11:39,641 --> 00:11:39,841
Right.

220
00:11:39,841 --> 00:11:43,440
And most of the tools, most of the things
that we will do with the software

221
00:11:43,973 --> 00:11:46,372
will come from the basic palette

222
00:11:46,905 --> 00:11:49,838
or from the tool sets palette.

223
00:11:49,838 --> 00:11:53,503
The object info palette--
when there is an object

224
00:11:53,570 --> 00:11:57,168
drawn in the space, I'm juat going to do
this really quickly and don't worry about

225
00:11:57,302 --> 00:11:58,835
knowing how I'm doing this.

226
00:12:00,301 --> 00:12:01,101
So if

227
00:12:01,101 --> 00:12:05,166
if I have the object selected,
de-select it for a second

228
00:12:05,166 --> 00:12:09,165
and you'll see over here in the shape
tab of my object info palette.

229
00:12:09,165 --> 00:12:13,230
There's nothing there
until I select the object.

230
00:12:13,230 --> 00:12:16,496
When I get all kinds of information,
we'll talk

231
00:12:16,496 --> 00:12:19,761
about what class and layer
are and plane here in just a bit,

232
00:12:20,294 --> 00:12:23,360
but it tells me which class it's in,
which layer it's on.

233
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,226
It tells me the width
and the height of the box

234
00:12:27,225 --> 00:12:30,358
and this neat little

235
00:12:30,558 --> 00:12:32,690
sort of drawing here lets me know

236
00:12:34,623 --> 00:12:38,555
which handle is active on the

237
00:12:38,955 --> 00:12:42,087
as far as placement on the box.

238
00:12:42,087 --> 00:12:43,820
So let's say the height.

239
00:12:43,820 --> 00:12:46,553
Let's say I actually want the height

240
00:12:46,553 --> 00:12:48,085
to be eight feet, right?

241
00:12:48,085 --> 00:12:52,284
Which I can type in eight and then
the single mark here, and then that's it.

242
00:12:52,284 --> 00:12:56,949
And when I hit enter,
the box got longer from the top down.

243
00:12:57,482 --> 00:12:58,349
All right.

244
00:12:58,349 --> 00:13:01,081
And if I undo that,
just like any other program, command

245
00:13:01,081 --> 00:13:03,747
or control
Z right now, it's seven feet four again.

246
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,679
If I go here, let's say from the center

247
00:13:07,746 --> 00:13:08,212
now, if I

248
00:13:08,212 --> 00:13:11,744
change this, let's say
nine feet and hit enter.

249
00:13:12,211 --> 00:13:14,544
Oh, so it got bigger
from the bottom, right?

250
00:13:14,544 --> 00:13:18,676
So wherever I select
whatever side of the box I have selected

251
00:13:19,475 --> 00:13:24,607
is how I can grow in this case,
the rectangle, if it were a circle,

252
00:13:24,607 --> 00:13:27,339
the same would be true of that
or any other shape.

253
00:13:27,739 --> 00:13:31,738
All right, so these little handles
let you know how you can adjust.

254
00:13:33,204 --> 00:13:36,536
And it's also the spot from whence
it rotates, right?

255
00:13:36,536 --> 00:13:39,536
So now if I rotate,
if I click this little corner handle

256
00:13:39,935 --> 00:13:44,601
and I rotate this ten degrees,
it will rotate on this corner here, right?

257
00:13:44,667 --> 00:13:45,534
So I've got my ten.

258
00:13:45,534 --> 00:13:47,000
If I hit enter right?

259
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,199
You can see it rotated from that corner.

260
00:13:50,065 --> 00:13:51,932
OK, so again.

261
00:13:51,932 --> 00:13:54,131
And undo--lost it.

262
00:13:55,131 --> 00:13:58,529
I'll undo here, edit, undo

263
00:13:59,729 --> 00:14:02,328
and then I'll undo one more time
so you can actually see that

264
00:14:02,328 --> 00:14:04,461
and then perfect.

265
00:14:04,927 --> 00:14:05,794
All right.

266
00:14:08,193 --> 00:14:09,193
Navigation,

267
00:14:09,193 --> 00:14:12,192
we're going to talk about this in detail

268
00:14:12,192 --> 00:14:14,058
here in just a few minutes.

269
00:14:14,058 --> 00:14:15,591
So I will leave that one.

270
00:14:15,591 --> 00:14:19,789
The attributes box:
this has a couple of key elements,

271
00:14:21,255 --> 00:14:24,521
the fill of a of a box.

272
00:14:24,521 --> 00:14:26,854
If I select my shape here,

273
00:14:27,787 --> 00:14:30,386
I could change the color of the fill,
the type of fill.

274
00:14:30,386 --> 00:14:32,452
First of all, I want to be a pattern.

275
00:14:32,452 --> 00:14:33,385
I could quit the pattern.

276
00:14:33,385 --> 00:14:36,051
And now, you know,
I could change that pattern.

277
00:14:36,051 --> 00:14:38,650
Let's say it wants to be

278
00:14:38,650 --> 00:14:41,249
so it's so, so giant.

279
00:14:41,649 --> 00:14:41,915
Right?

280
00:14:41,915 --> 00:14:44,981
If I zoom in here,
you can see the little lines, right?

281
00:14:44,981 --> 00:14:45,714
Kind of matching.

282
00:14:47,180 --> 00:14:48,380
If it's solid, I

283
00:14:48,380 --> 00:14:51,112
can click on the color
and I can change the color

284
00:14:53,578 --> 00:14:55,444
I like these color pencils, right?

285
00:14:55,444 --> 00:14:58,777
So we'll say, OK, and they're made it red.

286
00:14:59,110 --> 00:15:01,309
I could do the same to the line, right?

287
00:15:01,309 --> 00:15:02,242
It can be solid.

288
00:15:02,242 --> 00:15:03,708
It could be dashed.

289
00:15:03,708 --> 00:15:04,108
Right.

290
00:15:04,108 --> 00:15:06,174
And I could change the dashed style

291
00:15:07,307 --> 00:15:08,574
here. Right?

292
00:15:08,574 --> 00:15:11,173
So dashed and spaced.

293
00:15:11,173 --> 00:15:13,305
And if I select now, it's changed it.

294
00:15:13,305 --> 00:15:17,237
I may change the color here back to white.

295
00:15:17,837 --> 00:15:19,970
I will easier now to see that line

296
00:15:22,236 --> 00:15:24,502
so again, if I select it

297
00:15:24,502 --> 00:15:28,434
solid, I can also change the color
of that outside line.

298
00:15:28,434 --> 00:15:31,899
And now if I click off the object and zoom
in, you'll see

299
00:15:32,632 --> 00:15:35,432
you can kind of see that
that color is red.

300
00:15:35,432 --> 00:15:39,564
If I change the weight of the
line or the line thickness,

301
00:15:40,830 --> 00:15:41,363
let's say

302
00:15:41,363 --> 00:15:44,362
to two five, kind of select it

303
00:15:45,495 --> 00:15:47,028
two five.

304
00:15:47,028 --> 00:15:49,094
Now you can start to see that it's red.

305
00:15:49,494 --> 00:15:49,760
All right.

306
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,493
If I make it even thicker,

307
00:15:53,759 --> 00:15:55,292
now, it starts to show up

308
00:15:55,292 --> 00:15:57,691
a little bit more as red.

309
00:15:59,624 --> 00:16:01,157
These simply control

310
00:16:01,157 --> 00:16:04,889
all the end markers of the line.

311
00:16:04,889 --> 00:16:07,421
So if I select this,

312
00:16:07,421 --> 00:16:11,087
I can change what an arrow
looks like when I need to do that.

313
00:16:11,753 --> 00:16:13,419
So that's the attributes box.

314
00:16:13,419 --> 00:16:15,019
The snapping box.

315
00:16:15,019 --> 00:16:19,351
This controls where the cursor snaps
if I want to join an object.

316
00:16:19,351 --> 00:16:23,283
So if I pull a line up here, you can see

317
00:16:23,283 --> 00:16:27,082
it'll tell me here where the center is,
where the sort of

318
00:16:28,414 --> 00:16:31,880
a quarter of that line
a fourth of that line is,

319
00:16:32,813 --> 00:16:37,012
if I click here
and hold down the shift key.

320
00:16:37,012 --> 00:16:41,544
I can keep everything
horizontal or vertical.

321
00:16:41,744 --> 00:16:43,810
Right? So that's a bit of snapping there.

322
00:16:48,141 --> 00:16:50,008
So generally speaking,

323
00:16:50,008 --> 00:16:53,273
we want all of those

324
00:16:54,539 --> 00:16:58,405
to be selected
with the exception of this snap to Grid,

325
00:16:58,405 --> 00:17:02,670
we don't really want to have
to snap everything to that grid.

326
00:17:03,137 --> 00:17:08,402
Everything else should be selected right?

327
00:17:10,934 --> 00:17:15,199
OK, we've already
closed the resource browser,

328
00:17:15,199 --> 00:17:17,865
so those are the palettes
that I want you to be familiar with.
