VectorWorks

VectorWorks is available in the following editions:

• Vectorworks Designer: Offering a large set of design tools-integerating the technology of every Vectorworks product into a single, intuitive inerface. Whether you need to draft, model, or present, Vectorworks Designer is the ultimate solution for the professional who needs it all.
• Vectorworks Architect: Robust capabilities of BIM, great documentation, and intelligent tools while maintaining your creative freedom to design in 2D or 3D.
• Vectorworks Landmark: Offers landscape-specific tools and superior 2D and 3D design capabilities to help you create a better built environment.
• Vectorworks Spotlight: Whether you design lighting, scenery, sets, events, theatrical productions, or exhibits, Vectorworks Spotlight will help make your next production memorable.
• Vectorworks Fundamentals: An intuitive, easy-to-use modeling and documentation platform to produce complex drawings.

Key Features:

• Performance Improvements in Hidden Line Rendering: Hidden line rendering now uses multi-threading on the Windows operating system to give you faster and more reliable results.
• 2D/3D Navigation Visualisation: Increased the speed at which you can move around your drawing. Panning and zooming improvements are applied in 2D and 3D, so you get significantly faster graphic re-draw.
• Surface Array: With this new command, you can duplicate 2D and 3D geometry onto planar or NURBS-based surfaces, giving you the power to easily model curtain walls, complex roof systems, stadium-like structures, or any other array model you can imagine.
• Clip Cube: The clip cube provides additional visibility control over large, complex models, allowing you to work on isolated parts within the interactive boundaries of the clip cube.
• Full-screen Perspective Projection: You can now work in a full-screen perspective view while modelling, with the option to turn on the cropping window when setting up views for presentations.
• Create Detail Viewport: The new Create Detail Viewport command provides an extremely efficient way to automatically create cropped viewports, allowing for better navigation between detailed views and the model.
• Hyperlinks: Create hyperlinks with associated thumbnails or symbols to launch websites containing product manufacturer data, open other Vectorworks documents, open a folder, or display saved views, sheet layers, open file resources such as image files, PDFs and movie files.
• Windows Explorer Document Plug-in: A Windows Explorer plug-in for Vectorworks documents has been added, providing you with additional details about the file when in Windows Explorer, displaying an image preview of the file or an icon and adding the ability to search for text strings inside Vectorworks files.
• Sheet Layer Ordering: A new stacking order column has been added to the Organisation dialog box and Navigation palette, so you can easily change sheet layer stacking order by drag and drop.
