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
With Vectorworks Landmark 2023, you can easily specify and model hedgerows — mixed or single species. Seamlessly apply hedges to the site model surface in both 2D and 3D views, quantify by linear unit, and simultaneously illustrate them at mature spread and height.
Learning Objectives
The new folding door and window configurations can now accommodate a custom number of leaves and sashes. These additions will save you time and help you quickly create and manage common multiple folding door and window configurations without needing to custom model them yourself.
Learning Objectives
Easily create detailed reports and quantity takeoffs for building objects using a new set of functions and function parameters. With these improvements, you'll be able to produce highly accurate reports for walls, slabs, roofs, and railing/fence objects and their defining components.
Learning Objectives
New Revit file import options in Vectorworks 2023 give you more flexibility when collaborating with consultants and clients using Revit. Now, Vectorworks will support the translation of more Revit object types and provide better organization of the imported file data making it easier to design your project within the context of existing information. You can also reference a Revit file directly for a better collaborative workflow.
