Vectorworks Architect

Features

Vectorworks Architect is architectural CAD software that offers BIM capabilities in a flexible design environment.

Designing in 2D and 3D simultaneously, Vectorworks Architect offers an ease of use and intuitive functionality. Its set of hybrid tools include standard building shell components, all of which have relevant information included. Used widely by architects and interior designers, Vectorworks Architect offers the complete suite of tools and libraries of components to put together concept models, 3D visuals, detailed plans and sections, and all the necessary schedules needed to complete the project.

Sharing projects with other professionals is easy as you import/export directly from/to DWG, PDF and other formats, as well as allowing you to work with IFC data.

Vectorworks Architect’s approach to BIM is not prescriptive and will complement your existing design process instead of replacing it.

Vectorworks Architect 2012 builds on the previous breakthrough release. Further improvements in 3D work allow you to create concept models directly in 3D, with an edit history which blurs the boundaries between 2D and 3D drafting and modelling. Huge increases in the capability of the Wall, Space and Roof tools as well as the makeover of the Window and Door tools make it even easier to design complex and unique models, adhering to BIM standards as you work.
