"Capable software with an acquired taste: "
What do you like best about Vectorworks Architect? Feels more like using Adobe Illustrator than, say, AutoCAD. Powerful, easy-to-use 2D polygon editing. The 3D modelling isn't too convoluted: able to work with simple massing. The Renderworks engine may not be what a lot of people require in terms of professional-quality output, but is capable of getting some decent results.

Design can be created in 3D later translated into 2Dproduction drawings . Client presentations can be created as rendered printouts, animations, walk throughs and real time3D model views. With previous experience in AutoCAD, I found the ...

"Vectorworks 2015 review"
What do you like best about Vectorworks Architect? I've been using this software for 20 years since its early days. I find it far more intuitive than other systems I've used in the past. Now that I'm adopting a BIM workflow, or at least headed that way, its built in plug in objects make it easy to develop a design concept quickly. The use of layers and classes allow for easy control of attributes and features both in the model and in the drawing sheets. A drawing can be generated fairly ...

"Flexible BIM for Architects"
What do you like best about Vectorworks Architect? One of the greatest features of Vectorworks is the ability to simultaneously work in 2D and 3D with ease. Other BIM softwares that I have used force you into 3D full time while allowing 2D line work on page views or detail views only.

"Great for complex architectural design and great graphical interface."
What do you like best about Vectorworks Architect? VW has a great graphic interface, not too dissimilar from using illustrator. Its easy to use and more intuitive than Autocad at times. Produces great presentation drawings.
