Vectorworks Fundamentals Reviews & Product Details

Perpetual licensing options to be able to edit docs. It includes 2D and 3D modeling tools for a less expensive option, too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cannot auto-create schedules, there are no site modeling features, takes more time doing things manually that are automated in the other VW modules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is possible to draw and think like an architect NOT a computer programmer; I also like the ability to see line thickness, object attributes, layer colours etc., etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great programme but its cost is now beyond my means (semi-retired on limited income) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User friendly, great for presentations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The DWG conversion is not great. The custom workspace doesn't export properly from older to newer versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How easy it is to import other file-types

How simple it is to draw and make adjustments.

Compared to ACAD it is much easier to make a clear drawing, especially because you immediately see what you will get on the drawing later Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not much that is not possible, I have not come across anything that does not work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The symbols are very similar to the ones used in other softwares, so it's really easy to adapt from another one to Vectorworks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing in particular once used to it. I was used to render in 3d Studio and V-ray, so to change to another renderer can be a bit challenging at the beginning, when used to be jumping between a few programmes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vectorworks is great design platform. Easy to use for both pc's and Mac systems. Many disciplines use the software so if can be down all on one platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As with any CAD software, it has some limitations- The door tool used to be limited but with the latest releases in 2017 and 2018 have made great strides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how you can overlay plans on separate design layers, but turn some on underneath to see how different plans work together. It really helps with coordinating different drawings and incorporating MEP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not as widely used as say AutoCAD or Revit, so we are often converting and exporting to dwg files to work with other firms and our consultants. It also doesn't have the best hatches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface of Vectorworks is somewhat like Adobe Illustrator and allows me to create different kinds of scaled diagrams and 2d graphics with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The drafting capabilities are not as precise as AutoCAD or Rhino. Curves and splines are also a bit more tricky to draft. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The versatility and easiness of use. Is a very complete software too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's nothing I can think off. I've been loving VectorWorks since Minicad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do event design, so require an array of different needs from the software - but I love that everything can be in one file: floorplans, 3D builds for rendering & build drawings for scenic etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are constant things that go wrong in a file and it usually takes awhile to pinpoint what the issue is, but its usually some weird setting or if I've imported something with an error etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
