You can import plans, elevations, sections etc into Vectorworks and use them as guides to trace or model from.
To import go to File >Import >Import Image File, and select the file that you require.
However we must remember to select an appropriate scale to work in before importing (e.g. if the section is scanned in at 1:10, set the scale in Vectorworks to 1:10 also).
It is best to leave this plan in its own layer. Go to Tools>Organization >Design Layers, and create a new layer to model in (Trace). The old layer can be renamed Plan Layer.
