Vectorworks CAD software is a line of industry-specific 2D/3D and BIM solutions that allow designers to advance their ideas from concept through completion. Two of the programs are described below, and more information is available online.

Vectorworks Designer Software – Whether your specialty is architecture, landscape, or entertainment design, Vectorworks Designer software gives you the freedom to create without having to use additional applications. The program provides a competitive edge by offering a large set of design tools in a single, intuitive interface. Draft, model, and present with Vectorworks Designer – the ultimate solution for the professional who needs it all.

Vectorworks Architect Software – With Vectorworks Architect software, you can do it all, from sketch to BIM. Contrary to how other programs force creative constraints upon the design, Vectorworks Architect software allows you to maintain creative freedom while making it easy for everyone involved in the project to efficiently work together. You’ll enjoy robust BIM functionality, great documentation, and intelligent tools, along with the flexibility to design in 2D or 3D without restrictions. The program’s powerful Parasolid® 3D modeling engine tackles complex models. Plus, BIM capabilities help you streamline costs, analyze materials, and increase energy efficiency while staying true to your design concept.
