Vectorworks Architect | Vectorworks

Vectorworks Architect is a flexible software which can support an entire project from conceptual design to design development to fully coordinated BIM models and construction documents. Its versatility helps to pull everything together and increases efficiency in project execution and documentation.

Building Information Modeling

BIM modeling software isn’t exactly known amongst architects for promoting creative expression. But Vectorworks is different. It allows free sketching, modeling, and documentation of design ideas with precision drafting capabilities and the most flexible 3D modeling engine available, powered by SIEMENS Parasolid.

In BIM Modeling, getting the most information out of the model is essential for design optimization. Vectorworks makes it easy to quantify and analyze information as early as the schematic design phase:

• Quantify and analyze information
• Run “what if” scenarios and automate schedules
• Calculate costs
• Analyze energy efficiency

Collaboration and File Sharing

Vectorworks makes it easy to collaborate and share files with colleagues, consultants, and clients. The 3D modeling software offers the most default import/export capabilities available, as well as support for openBIM and IFC, and direct links with several other software:

• Revit®
• SketchUp®
• Rhino®
• Photoshop®
• Cinema4D
• AutoCAD/DWG

Emerging Technology

Technology in architectural modeling is changing rapidly and Vectorworks makes new technologies accessible such as:

• AR/VR
• Point cloud
• Photogrammetry
• Cloud services
