2D & 3D Modelling

Quickly sketch, model, render, and document your design concepts using accurate drafting tools and a flexible 3D modelling engine powered by SIEMENS Parasolid. Work without constraints, free from presets or strict parameters, enabling you to transform any idea into reality as you envision it.

Fully Customisable

Easily adapt to each stage of your project — effortlessly shift from massing models to BIM models and then to construction documents. The BIM workflow, designed with a focus on design, simplifies every step, improving overall productivity.

Create Presentations and Documentation with Ease

Vectorworks makes it simple to produce impressive line drawings and 3D presentations, offering multiple printing options that will resonate with your clients. Generating documentation is straightforward, with tools available to test scenarios, automate schedules, and calculate costs, helping you make the most of every design feature.

Real-time previsualisation is available directly inside Vectorworks to bring you intuitive, live control of lighting fixtures and the ability to test run your show without leaving the application. Explore countless lighting and scenic possibilities and then experiment, edit, and adjust to your satisfaction based on your visualisation.

Keep your files up to date with GDTF Mapping, giving you accurate fixture information to avoid errors. Map GDTF files to fixtures with direct access to GDTF-Share to download and import the files in one action from within Vectorworks. Automatically update all GDTF profiles with one command and store assigned GDTFs within their lighting devices.

Truss corner alignment and light fixture snapping let you control the assembly of a rigging system. Easily choose which truss chord to accurately snap equipment and select fixture hanging angles upon insertion. Save time with less manual work when aligning trusses and snapping fixtures to build a more accurate model with better documentation.
