Sketch Rendering

The Vectorworks Design Series products include a sketch rendering mode that applies a hand-drawn or sketch effect to 2D and 3D objects in any projection. The Renderworks product is not required. The vector-based sketch effects are saved as editable resources, and are applied directly to the objects in a drawing. The sketch effects can also be applied to hatches and sheet layer viewports, and can be used in hidden line rendering.

Unlike Artistic Renderworks, sketch rendering can be applied to 2D objects, and individual objects can have specific sketch styles. Sketch effects cannot be applied to worksheets, text, loci, or lights.
