Anchor your Vectorworks model to its real-world position on the map without needing GIS expertise. With the Geolocation Setup Wizard, you can align satellite imagery, surveys, point clouds, and GIS layers around a single survey point. Move smoothly between local project coordinates and true geospatial positions as needed, and easily keep federated models aligned for coordination and review.

Georeference a blank Vectorworks file using the Geolocation Setup Wizard by entering a project address, selecting a coordinate reference system, positioning the base map, and placing a survey point.
Geolocate a file that already contains geometry — such as an imported survey DWG or an existing building model — by setting the correct CRS, angle from true north, and survey point alignment options without transforming existing objects.
Import georeferenced DWG, IFC, and point cloud files aligned to the document's georeferencing so consultant models and scans land in the correct real-world position and scale.
As a valued member of the Vectorworks community, we would like to welcome you to this exploration file.
This project documents several common outputs for retail interior design workflows. This project imagines the redesign of an existing store located on a typical UK high street. The file is structured with DesignLayers which are associated with building Story levels, as well as Classes to control the graphics outputs and visibilities of objects. Saved Views and Sheets showcase the processes used to create a data driven model, using features such as, record formats, IFC data, data visualizations, and reports.
We suggest running through the Saved Views and Sheet Layers (in the Navigation Palette). You might then explore further via the individual DesignLayers. Feel free to adapt any of the resources you find in the Resource Manager.
The Urban Park demo file can be used to explore various tools and features found in Vectorworks Landmark such as hardscapes, plants, graphic legends, viewport styles, title blocks, worksheets, and more! Make use of the saved views and sheet layers to explore this file.
The Office Park demo file can be used to explore various tools and features found in Vectorworks Landmark such as plants, hardscapes, landscape areas, graphic legends, viewport styles, and more! It also showcases the ability to import and export Revit files. For instance, the building is a Revit model that has been imported. Make use of the saved views and sheet layers to explore this file.
This course demonstrates how to increase productivity by navigating to the design layer using a viewport. This course also shows one how to improve design navigation workflows by using viewport navigation features and saved views.

Produce traditional architectural compositions views with ease using Two-point Perspective mode. Toggled on with a single click, you can work with it directly in designlayers or add it to saved views and sheet viewports to provide a clear understanding of a 3D view. Once activated, it stays activated even when you change your view.
