While Vectorworks can be used for standard 2D drafting, its power comes from an integrated 3D modeling system. One of Vectorworks’ key selling points is that it provides a full scope of design tools in single platform: 2D and 3D drafting, analysis, presentation graphics, graphic design, and construction documentation. Todd McCurdy of MORRIS used the digital terrain model feature within Vectorworks Landmark to bring the urban context of Niteroi, Brazil to life by merging the modeled buildings with the terrain. Vectorworks aims to streamline this workflow. It can often be complicated and disjointed. The resulting workflow is ever a balancing game of delivering professional and innovative products while efficiently expending resources. Every firm must find its own solution, which often evolves into a multi-faceted process. In this post, I will address why landscape architects should take note of Vectorworks.įrom diagrams and concept drawings to specifications, construction drawings, and presentation graphics, delivering high quality products is constantly on the minds of landscape architects. With so much growing interest, it is worth taking a closer look at Vectorworks. In 2015, the company sold a record number of new licenses. Fellow Land8 writer Benjamin Boyd covered the Vectorworks Design Summit in his recent post.

I have recently taken the opportunity to take a critical look at Vectorworks, one of the many drafting programs on the design/engineering market.
