With the new updates to Vectorworks Nomad, you can quickly scan any room layout using Vectorworks Nomad on any LiDAR-enabled iOS device using the new Room Plan. With Apple’s room-scanning framework, RoomPlan, Nomad can now produce a model with classified geometry such as walls, windows, openings, doors, and more. Then easily upload your model to Vectorworks Cloud and import it into Vectorworks to continue designing.
In addition, you can save time creating 3D models with major upgrades to the Photos to 3D Model feature. Vectorworks Nomad is now integrated with Apple’s new Object Capture, so you’ll be able to create 3D models from photos faster, more reliably, and more efficiently
than ever. And Object Capture uses data from supported iOS devices to recover the size and orientation of the object, making your models more accurate.
Learning Objectives
Confidently deliver quality building information models with Solibri Inside. The easy-to-use model checker captures errors as you design, letting you validate, report, and modify them all within Vectorworks so you can be sure you’ll meet your project’s standards and regulations. Reduce your risk with fewer errors and gain efficiency with fewer file exchanges, saving you, your consultants, and your clients time and money.
Learning Objectives
The new Offset Edge tool lets you offset edges and edge loops from planar and non-planar faces. Offset edges will also include the automatic Push/Pull mode and the support for non-planar faces of 3D objects, giving you more flexibility in your creative process and reducing the steps it takes to model unique 3D solid objects.
Learning Objectives
Getting help with Vectorworks is easier than ever with the new Home Screen — you’ll find a single source for training, learning, product messaging, and growth opportunities. It’s designed to help new designers get started and provide resources to more seasoned designers looking to improve their skills or learn something new.
Learning Objectives
The Shaded Render Mode supports more light objects, glow textures, environment lighting, and reflections meaning you'll get a better understanding of your project while designing and ensure better quality rendering output.
Learning Objectives
Gone are the days of tediously defining the parameters of these building objects. With direct modeling and editing for Doors and Windows, you can now create and edit doors and windows by simply drawing a rectangle on the face of the wall in 3D or a line spanning the opening in 2D. And you can easily edit doors and windows using the same process as the familiar reshape tool.
Learning Objectives
Save time and reduce errors with the new Graphic Legends tool. You'll find a smart tool that completely removes the manual process of creating graphic legends. It automatically coordinates with the resources you've used, giving you an easy editing and customization process to ensure the accuracy of legends and drawing keys for documentation.
Learning Objectives
With improvements to Wall tools, you'll gain efficiency with a more intuitive workflow and more accurate graphic output. These improvements include combining the Wall and Round Wall tools, more consistent ways to create and edit walls, and better control for texture mapping and inserting objects into walls.
Learning Objectives
Spend less time on grading plans and terrain modeling and have more time to design. Improvements to Vectorworks’ site grading capabilities with new Site Modifiers modes like "Aligned," "Pathway Path," and "Boundary Path" will allow site designers to create more complex grading projects with new ways to account for proper drainage, vehicular/pedestrian use, and better control via contour drawing and editing.
Learning Objectives
Breathe new (plant) life into your projects with the integration of Laubwerk Plant objects. You’ll have access to a new, extensive library of 3D plant geometry with a wide range of detail levels, seasonal changes, and growth representations —ready for you to integrate into your Plant styles or on their own. Add better 3D plant representation for documentation and collaboration while maintaining manageable file sizes.
Learning Objectives
Experience better, faster, and more accurate BIM collaboration using BIM Collaboration Format (BCF) files. The BCF Manager is now a web palette that can be kept open so you can seamlessly and efficiently manage model changes with cloud-based collaboration tools like BIMCollab, BIMSync, and more.
Learning Objectives
Experience faster cable configuration, planning, and documentation with the latest upgrades. New views in the Power Planning palette will allow for easier preparation, formatting, and documentation of cable runs. And you can view more data with specialized filter options and modes that make cable management more user-friendly. To top it all off, this information is easily exportable to a worksheet so you can document your power distribution patching and overall power requirements.
