"The most versatile software out there"

What do you like best about Vectorworks Architect? Vectorworks has always been great 2D software. About 10 years ago I started doing more and more 3D modeling. I am at the point where I created a complete model for every project and the time I save in creating documents is amazing. That Is benefit one. The great thing about Vectorworks is that it is not only for architectural models, but you can model anything you can dream up. You can render it and present it in hundreds of ways.

"Great user interface"

What do you like best? It feels like drawing on paper, but you are using the screen. It's much more 'personable' than AutoCAD, which feels like I am operating a machine when I use it.

"More productive than you ever imagined"

What do you like best about Vectorworks Architect? What I like best is being able to be a lot more productive than anyone I know that uses 2D and especially folks still using AutoCAD. I can't imagine doing tons of work on models in SketchUp only to have to butcher them to insert a bunch of lines into AutoCAD or similar 2D applications. And then when changes to the wok happen (and a LOT of them ALWAYS happen) you have to go back and redo the model AND the CAD drawings separately??? NO THANKS...

"A CAD Program for Architects"

What do you like best about Vectorworks Architect? Vectorworks was designed from the beginning to be used by architects and designers for architectural projects. It is not loaded down with features that a designer will not need or use. It is also very user friendly. I found it much more intuitive to learn than my previous CAD program.
