Building Information Modeling for Every Design Phase

With more support for common file formats than other BIM solutions, Vectorworks Architect can pull together all the necessary information to start a project, providing everything needed for conceptual design, massing models, site planning, and analysis all in one interface. Easily transition from massing models to a BIM model, visualize concepts with integrated 3D rendering, and share high-quality graphics with the entire team through Vectorworks Cloud Services. As project detail increases, Vectorworks facilitates smooth consultant coordination, data reporting, and cost estimation. Using parametric and 3D data-driven BIM tools from project inception maintains model quality and allows for seamless design updates while making construction documentation a breeze.

Work With Anyone

Vectorworks Architect enables easy collaboration and file sharing with colleagues, consultants, and clients. Vectorworks offers the most default import/export capabilities available, including direct import of Revit®, SketchUp®, Rhino®, Photoshop®, and Cinema4D® file formats, as well as robust support for openBIM, IFC, and BCF.
