Welcome to Vectorworks

Welcome to Vectorworks® software—a CAD and BIM program that includes all the 2D and 3D tools and technology you need in one easy-to-use, cost-effective package. In addition to precision drafting, it provides powerful tools for 3D modeling that can be used to create, present, and even manufacture designs. Built-in database and worksheet capabilities help track costs and materials. A host of import and export formats makes it easy to share files. Cutting-edge rendering technology provides you with all the options you need to present your clients with beautiful designs.

At Vectorworks, we believe your design software should offer the freedom to follow your imagination wherever it may lead you, to seamlessly share your vision at any phase, and to easily interpret the information needed to make the smartest decisions every time. Vectorworks seeks to build intuitive, powerful, and practical software solutions for design professionals around the globe.

The Vectorworks Fundamentals product includes extensive symbol libraries, default drawing resources, and a built-in scripting environment that can be used to automate routine tasks. Renderworks® is built in so you can create beautiful photorealistic, hand-drawn, or schematic rendered views of your designs.

The Vectorworks Design Suite is a complete design and production management system for architects, landscape architects, and entertainment designers. Some features in the Vectorworks Design Suite expand upon core Fundamentals or Renderworks product functionality. The Vectorworks Design Suite includes the combined feature set of the Vectorworks Architect, Landmark, and Spotlight products; the Design Suite workspace contains a major subset of the entire combined feature set.  Vectorworks Spotlight customers have the option to add Braceworks® and ConnectCAD®.
