Easy to learn and use With VectorWorks Architect, you can do what you like to do best-design. With a simple, customizable interface that's menu and icon driven, it's easier to learn and use than standard CAD programs. VectorWorks Smart Cursor� technology replaces manual drafting tools, making it easy to find snap points, offsets and tangents, as well as draw precisely and quickly. And since VectorWorks Architect is tailored to the architectural design and production process, it works the way you think. In addition to offering standard CAD tools, VectorWorks Architect allows you to design with real-world building components. You can quickly sketch ideas with VectorWorks Architect's 2D drawing tools, then rework, refine and document your designs with doors, walls and windows. The building objects are easy to edit and automatically display correctly in 2D and 3D views. So, creating 3D models of your 2D drawings is fast and easy. A complete solution Unlike other programs, VectorWorks Architect offers a comprehensive range of 2D, 3D and production management capabilities that benefits all phases of the design process, including pre-design, site analysis, schematic design, design development, presentation, visualization, construction documentation and material take-offs. Plus, VectorWorks Architect goes beyond designing buildings. You can design just about anything using VectorWorks Architect without having to use any additional programs, from interior space and retail fixtures to custom cabinetry and furniture. Increase productivity with object-based design For more than twenty years, VectorWorks Architect has provided building information modeling (BIM) capabilities that offer a true increase in productivity. With BIM, your 2D drawings, 3D drawings and project data are linked into a simple, yet powerful design environment. VectorWorks BIM technology allows you to design in 2D and 3D simultaneously. Changes made in one view are automatically updated in the other. And, because your drawings are linked, a change in one can automatically ripple through the entire drawing set, saving you time and reducing drawing errors. Plus, you can integrate information into your design to automatically generate schedules, as well as track materials and costs. And, you can export this information to use downstream in other costing and database programs. Flexibility to fit your workflow Unlike other BIM programs, VectorWorks Architect does not limit you to a certain workflow. You can work in 2D or 3D-or even merge 2D and 3D. You're not forced into using just one or the other. And, you're not limited to the building objects VectorWorks Architect provides. You can also easily create your own custom building objects. You won't find these capabilities in most other architectural software programs. For larger firms, VectorWorks Architect offers CAD management tools to help develop, organize and manage CAD standards. VectorWorks Architect workgroup referencing features allow teams of designers to collaborate on the same project. VectorWorks Architect is also completely customizable. You can easily rearrange tools, commands and keyboard shortcuts to suit your needs. A built-in scripting environment allows you to automate routine drafting tasks or create full-blown commercial applications. Track costs and materials automatically VectorWorks Architect provides automatic data tracking capabilities. So you'll never have to count items in your drawing again. Schedules, reports and materials lists are automatically generated and updated from the information in your design-saving you countless hours and reducing errors. Unlike other CAD programs, VectorWorks Architect provides a free framing model. This time-saving tool allows you to generate 2D framing plans and elevations, 3D framing models and framing take-offs for floors, walls and roofs quickly and easily. Create high-end presentations VectorWorks Architect provides advanced graphics capabilities not normally found in CAD programs, so your 2D drawings don't have to look dull and sterile. With VectorWorks Architect, you can easily control line weights, as well as add colour, patterns, hatches and even gradient fills to your designs. Exclusive sketch rendering technology allows you to turn hard-lined drawings into soft, hand-sketched illustrations. You can even easily import digital images into your designs or graphics created in PhotoShop� to use as backgrounds or to illustrate design ideas. For more advanced 3D rendering and animation capabilities, plug in RenderWorks. Share files easily With superior DXF/DWG translation, VectorWorks Architect allows you to work with whatever and whomever you need to get the job done. We're founding members of the Open Design Alliance,� and we have a full team of engineers dedicated to ensuring DXF/DWG compatibility. We also support a number of graphic file formats, such as GIF, JPG, BMP, TIF and EPS, allowing you to easily import digital images into your designs and export your drawings to graphics programs. Support for IGES, .SAT and .STL allows you to send VectorWorks models to 3D printers and rapid prototyping machines. You can even import .3ds files into VectorWorks. Affordable It's easy to see why VectorWorks is used by more than 400,000 designers and sold in more than 80 countries-no other software offers so much for so much less. VectorWorks Architect can help you save money right from the start. But affordability goes beyond the initial purchase price. With VectorWorks Architect, you also get free technical support, affordable training, free updates and reasonable upgrades. Not to mention the gains in productivity you'll see almost immediately, since VectorWorks Architect is so easy to learn and use. System Requirements Macintosh System Requirements
