Stay aligned with regulations, minimize late-stage changes, and deliver sustainable projects right from the start.
Gain precise control over your drawings with Door, Window, and Wall 2D Detailing. Customize 2D graphics for doors and windows at multiple detail levels, and generate wall plans directly from 3D geometry. Eliminate manual workarounds and ensure your drawings always reflect your design intent.
Speed up BIM workflows with the enhanced Data Manager. Automate IFC data mapping across versions and apply criteria-based controls to assign and manage project data. Handle complex datasets efficiently, maintain accuracy across all project phases, and deliver standards-compliant BIM projects with confidence.
Unearth tools that enable you to design smarter, greener landscapes with greater efficiency. Simplify compliance, save valuable time, and ensure accuracy when designing and documenting your projects.
Track sustainability targets with the new Sustainability Dashboard. Monitor embodied carbon, urban greening, biomass, and Biodiversity Net Gain as your design evolves. With live, real-time feedback on every change, you can streamline compliance and deliver environmentally responsible projects from the very first draft.
Guarantee accuracy in your Hardscape path layouts. Define pathway offsets directly from your drawn reference line so inputs reflect true lateral movement. Eliminate guesswork and avoid manual corrections, ensuring every pathway is built exactly as intended.
Deliver regulation-compliant landscape designs with the enhanced Existing Tree tool—now supporting Maxon Plant Geometry, image props, and 3D symbols. Create visually realistic, data-rich tree models that align seamlessly with complex site surfaces, meet sustainability standards, and integrate smoothly with GIS.
Design and adjust flexible Grade objects using curves and polylines in both 2D and 3D. Label elevations instantly with Data Tags for quick reporting. Reduce errors, save time, and produce precise, visually clear site models—even for complex designs.
Accurately represent real-world buildings with the Massing Model by setting unique heights, classes, and usages for each floor within a single object. Customize attributes for mixed-use projects and ensure your concepts reflect both design intent and true-to-life complexity in one versatile model.
Enhance reporting with the Stake tool. Label elevations with either standard or customizable Data Tags, assign and report heights for any 3D object, and capture both top elevation and spot height relative to your site model. Round values quickly for Imperial units and refresh all Stakes as the project evolves—ensuring accurate, up-to-date reports.
Deliver unforgettable live and concert experiences with tools that streamline your workflow and expand your creative freedom. Achieve exceptional accuracy, simplify documentation, and ensure your designs perform, communicate, and appear exactly as you envision.
Design LED video walls of any shape—flat, curved, or 3D—with the all-new LED Wall tool. Place and configure panels instantly, calculate power and data requirements, and generate detailed reports including size, resolution, and equipment needs. Produce flawless, fully documented installations or permanent displays faster, with complete design freedom and confidence in every project.
Enhance design precision using dedicated tools for clamps and side arms. Place, edit, and manage clamp and pipe hardware across multiple configurations—without relying on workarounds. Produce accurate drawings and inventory counts while supporting creative rigging solutions, ensuring you deliver detailed, professional designs with efficiency and ease.
End device management headaches by embedding all device definitions and connectivity data directly within each 3D symbol. Eliminate external files and improve accuracy when creating, updating, or exchanging custom device definitions right inside Vectorworks.
Simplify rigging setups with the enhanced Bridle tool. Configure complex designs using multiple selectable constraints, expanded parts libraries, and reusable styles. Bridles remain attached as supports move, ensuring accuracy and consistency through every design iteration.
Access all equipment details and connections in a single layout with the unified equipment view in Shared Reports. Expand device details to reveal socket connections, apply filters for what matters most, and work with a clean, interactive report that keeps you focused—whether at your desk or on the go.
Stay in sync with the MVR-xchange Protocol. Share, commit, and request MVR files with other applications on your local network. Easily track new files, updates, and group activity so your entire team always has access to the latest design files.
Take lighting design further with Showcase. Use animated fog, false color rendering, DMX-driven device control, and intuitive brightness/zoom sliders to refine your work. A streamlined palette with one-click start/stop and real-time network health checks helps you resolve issues quickly and stay focused on your creative vision.
