2017 Vectorworks Fundamentals - Area Calculation

Worksheets are a very important part of Vectorworks. When you use any of the Vectorworks premade counting or reporting tools, Vectorworks will create a worksheet to count or report your information. In order to deal with these reports and schedules, it’s important that you understand the basic concept of worksheets.

Vectorworks can create spreadsheets within the drawing. That means you can count things, create databases, extract information from objects, and do mathematical operations and functions without having to leave Vectorworks.

These spreadsheets, or worksheets as they are called in Vectorworks, are linked to the source of information so that the worksheet can be updated when the source changes. To put it another way, if you edit the things in the drawing, the spreadsheet can be updated easily.
