In partnership with sister company Maxon, Vectorworks 2022 introduces a new GPU-accelerated render mode called “Redshift” which speeds up rendering time without sacrificing the quality of your design using features like lighting, reflections, volumetric effects, camera effects and anti-aliasing.
Learning Objectives
In Vectorworks 2022, we’re introducing a direct link between your model and Twinmotion that allows you to make changes in Vectorworks and easily have them reflected in the linked file. By eliminating the intermediate steps of exporting and importing, you can save time and easily control the quality of necessary geometries for real-time rendering.
Learning Objectives
Modernization of the Attributes palette lets you organize your workspace with a more efficient tool palette layout. The new UI will also provide you with accurate and immediate visual previews. Additionally, we’re introducing a new Status Bar that can be found at the bottom of the application window. This will give you quick access to the smart cursor settings, hold snapping options and toggle snapping on or off.
Learning Objectives
Upgrades to the texturing workflow give you the ability to map textures to different faces of the same solid modeling object with the ability to rescale and more. You’ll be able to cut down your texturing time with this efficient and more perceptive way to freely create custom objects. Additionally, the render tab of the Object Info Palette has been updated to let you easily view and manage the textures on the object’s various faces. This feature is not applicable to parametric objects.
Learning Objectives
With the latest upgrades in Vectorworks 2022, you can say goodbye to the tedium of waiting for your 3D Hidden Line viewports to update. With Non-blocking Hidden Line, all the updating has been moved to the background, allowing you to continue your work without interruption.
Learning Objectives
Creating precise and accurate BIM models means being able to create detailed reports and schedules. Enhancements to worksheets in Vectorworks 2022 give you just that. UI improvements make generating targeted reports, schedules and material take offs for complex objects easier. We’ve also simplified worksheets and added better visual cues to allow richer reporting of complex models. Between redesigned criteria, a new search function interface and an improved formula bar with a new set of functions, you won’t waste time wrestling with your documentation, leaving more time for your BIM modeling.
Learning Objectives
Get complete representations of installed plants with the new root ball settings. The added geometry and specified data for plant root balls provide the crucial information you need to complete your BIM for landscape workflow and better collaborate with consultants. The new additions to the Plant Object allow for both 2D and 3D representation of root balls and excavation zones.
Learning Objectives
See an efficiency boost in your GIS/BIM workflows with easier integration for site planning and collaboration. In partnership with Esri, you can now access, download and incorporate an incredible amount of information into your design with the vector geometry and data using Vectorworks Layers. You’ll also be able to export and upload from Layers back to the ArcGIS Feature Layers, making it easier to manage specific geospatial data beyond traditional methods and collaborate with GIS professionals.
Learning Objectives
The process for importing various tree survey types is simpler with location parameters for geographical and cartesian coordinates built in with the newly added GIS support for tree surveys. You’ll benefit from the new geospatial import methods when documenting existing vegetation for biodiversity and biomass considerations, and import pertinent survey area types like mass plantings, meadows and more.
Learning Objectives
Enjoy the ability to define subsurface geological strata as components within your Site Model. Now site model components create solid geometry that can be accurately represented in 2D elevation, section, and textured 3D views. The upgraded object components accommodate fixed or variable thicknesses of the strata, allowing you to create a more realistic BIM model
Learning Objectives
In Vectorworks 2022, experience better hardscape resource management in a more efficient workflow. With these improvements, hardscapes will be styled meaning you’ll be able to better manage and customize your 3D designs.
Learning Objectives
During the Great Recession, landscape architect and owner of a mid-size design-build company, Joe Hanauer decided to “tech up”. His goal then was to be a one-person design-build office. Now, with labor markets tight, using technology to create efficiencies for installation crews is increasingly important. With hardware including a tablet, computer, GPS Surveyor, altimeter level and camera, combined with software for note taking, estimating, and designing this session will reveal how they are all essential to creating an efficient workflow from first call to last shovel. This session will also show how this “almost-paper-free” technology workflow can be used to run a one-person office and scaled to work with larger firms, too.
