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
The new non-blocking Hidden Line rendering feature in Vectorworks 2022 will speed up workflows and make hidden line an excellent choice for rendering and navigating your 3D models.
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
General improvements in Spotlight 2022 make editing and revising lighting designs easier by creating more efficient and intuitive ways to accomplish common tasks. You’ll see improvements in overall visualization capabilities and accuracy. Several new
Context Menu commands let you select lights by position, rigging object, and instrument type as well as the ability to rotate groups of devices around insertion points, swap the positions of two lighting devices, and more.
Learning Objectives
Say goodbye to hand-calculating lengths of cables and hand-drawing complex cable runs. With the new ConnectCAD Cable Route Planning, you’ll have access to a full-featured 2D and 3D cable planning system that will allow you to plan cable runs and drops, perform calculations, and more. You’ll save countless hours and reduce errors with more precise estimates on lengths of cable needed for installation.

We’ve simplified ConnectCAD’s device editing workflow in version 2022. Now, all device databases can be accessed directly from Vectorworks meaning you’ll spend less time jumping from file to file to edit devices. We’ve also improved the Device Builder to allow you to create a new DA device in the builder. But it doesn’t stop there — you’ll also see improvements to signal type editing. Now you can see all the signal and connector types in the ConnectCAD setting dialog for easier editing and management.
Learning Objectives
Take your show to the next level with new laser visualization in Vision 2022. With support from industry leader, Pangolin, and the connection to Pangolin’s technology, you’ll be able to add and configure laser projectors. Vision will also support controlling lasers using Pangolin’s BEYOND software through a network streaming to vision. All of your lasers can also be previsualized in either Vision or Pangolin.
