The Tu=ech support and educational material is fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The time it takes to understand certain concepts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Designers use their right hemisphere and are known as innovative people are considered "right-brain thinkers"! Whilst the software is clearly written/coded/updated by engineers who are "left-brain thinkers" abd are thought to be analytical and logical. There's a complete disconnect between those, who make the software and those who use it. I believe VectorWorks needs to simplify the software and collaborate with those who use it. Typically there are 2 or 3 ways to produce one action which both confusing and unnecessary. SketchUp and Shoot are straightforward to use and I believe VectorWorks need to take note from their competitors and use this consructive feedback to make it logical for us creatives.

The customer service is fantastic and I feel awkward writing this review, however, I feel it is constructive advice. Having recently completed the 2024 updates course in Newbury, I felt it important to follow up with a review which will help both VectorWorks and its customers.

3d visual capabilities could improve, particularly plant library 3d visualizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Hi Tyler, it’s wonderful to hear that Vectorworks Landmark is assisting with your project planning and design. We value your feedback on enhancing 3D visuals and the plant library.
The best feature of VW Landmark is its ability to generate sumultaneous 2D and 3D drawings, eliminating the need to transfer files back and forth between applications. This is especially helpful when revisions are being made. I also appreciate the ability to create renders directly inside the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are certain tools that take a while to master, and even when I think I have they will still throw me a curve. This can be especially challenging with new hires who have not used the software before, but VW has excellent product support and trainging resources to ease this challenge.

I love being able to take my 2d drawinga and pop it up into 3d view to review my designs. It is very helpful to see how walls, plants, patios look in the 3d view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It was a little difficult to learn and there are some glithces. Also, I wish I could count plants without having to execute a plant schedule. I can't just select all of one plant group and have VWX tell many how many plants there are when I'm in the design layer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Hi Amy, it’s great to know that 3D views are helping you evaluate your designs. If you have ideas for improvements, we recommend checking out our Public Roadmap (vectorworks.net/public-roadmap), where you can submit suggestions and see updates on features in development.

Automatic schedules for plants, materials, hardscape and software areas means Bill of Quantities are generated for you eliminating mistakes in totalling bill of quantities Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This software has a huge array of options and functions which can be difficult to learn without specific instruction tailored to you needs. Though the advantage is you will learn ways to use it you didn't think possible and get that training cost and time back in productivity very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
