Vectorworks is preparing to release the 2025 version of its product line.
Vectorworks 2025 focuses on 3D interactivity and visualization, providing new methods for users to enhance the way they visualize their models, design intent and data within the working environment.
"At Vectorworks, we're dedicated to creating usability wins for our customers, ensuring that our software doesn't dictate the limits of what's possible,” says Vectorworks CEO Biplab Sarkar. “Our latest version is a testament to this commitment, providing powerful tools that seamlessly integrate into your workflow, allowing you to focus firmly on your ideas without obstacles."
Key features of this new release for all designers include onscreen view control, which allows for instant access to all views of a model, along with a click-dragging functionality to quickly orbit models. The two-point perspective feature allows users to create traditional architectural compositions and professional photography perspectives with a single click, replacing previous hand-drawing methods.
In addition, the new object level visibility feature enables users to manage the visibility of specific objects within a design with options to show, ghost, hide or isolate individual objects. The Vectorworks cloud drawing reviewer allows customers to view and comment on documents from anywhere, streamlining the review and design process.
For customers in the landscape industry, Vectorworks 2025 enhances data-centric, collaborative workflows. Key features include a precise 3D curb tool for modeling curbs, edges and borders. The survey point tool is used for establishing a geographic project base point among collaborators, and updates to the landscape area and hardscape tools to document sustainability data.
