Combine the strength of Vectorworks with the speed of AI image generation powered by Stable Diffusion. Directly available within the Vectorworks interface, this experimental feature uses Vectorworks Cloud Services for a zero-install, uninterrupted workflow to quickly ideate illustrative concepts or create refined images using your Vectorworks models at any stage of design.

Create higher levels of realism earlier in your design process with improvements to Shaded rendering. Take advantage of unlimited shadow casting in real-time processing to assess your designs more confidently on the fly and quickly determine lighting,
camera, and material setup so you can create better visuals more quickly. The shaded options dialog now includes direct access to lighting controls, like ambient and environmental lighting, and Renderworks background controls. Access all new camera settings that allow you to define depth of field, exposure, and the ability to add bloom for camera-like effects on your shaded render views.

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.

Excel Referencing: Excel files can be imported as worksheets into Vectorworks.
DWG Import/Export Optimization: File structure is now simplified during
import, and graphic overrides of layer and class settings will happen
during import, saving you time.
3D Dragger Visual Improvements: Improvements to the 3D Dragger that give
you more freedom when transforming your models. Additional modes like
snap-free, planar, and auxiliary rotation options will give you better
control of your modeling process.
Shaded Rendering Shadows and Camera Effects: Create higher levels of realism earlier in your design process with improvements to Shaded Rendering. Unlimited shadow casting and UI improvements for direct access to lighting and background options.
Join Stephan Monninghoof ( Vectorworks Product Planner) as he covers all the updates in the user interface that will make working in Vectorworks more efficient and easier to customize. The reorganized View and Mode bars bring a wide range of tools to the forefront, so you can decide how to organize and have everything you need right where you need it. And for our night owls, Dark Mode is now available on both Windows and Mac.
Join us as we take a closer look at Renderworks Styles.Rather than rendering modes, the use of Renderworks styles collects the selected rendering mode and its options such as the lighting options, Renderworks camera effects, and the Renderworks background into a single resource that can be quickly used when
needed. The selection of render mode or Renderworks style can produce vastly different effects, and, in complex drawings, can require various amounts of time and computer resources. It's important to select the appropriate rendering mode or style for your current
activity and project phase.
