Built to showcase your skills and creativity, Vectorworks Architect offers all the design, rendering, documentation and collaboration tools you need—from 2D graphics to 3D modeling to fully integrated BIM. Architect is the comprehensive, powerful solution that combines absolute creative expression with maximum efficiency. With a continued focus on re-engineering and modernization of core architectural objects and data reporting to support the creation of precise BIM models, Vectorworks Architect 2022 offers workflow improvements for greater precision, control, and accuracy for the visual model and the corresponding data. Wherever your ideas take you, you’ll get there faster with Vectorworks 2022.
Building Information Modeling
BIM modeling software isn’t exactly known for promoting creative expression. But Vectorworks is different. Freely sketch, model, and document design ideas with precision drafting capabilities and the most flexible 3D modeling engine available, powered by SIEMENS Parasolid. So you’re not limited by presets and strict parameters — you have the flexibility needed to design anything you can imagine.
In BIM Modeling, getting the most information out of the model is essential for design optimization. Vectorworks makes it easy to quantify and analyze the 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 allows you to easily 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:
- Revit®
- SketchUp®
- Rhino®
- Photoshop®
- Cinema4D
- AutoCAD/DWG
Emerging Technology
Technology in architectural modeling is advancing rapidly and Vectorworks makes new technologies accessible such as:
- AR/VR
- Point cloud
- Photogrammetry
- Cloud services
