The Morpholio Trace integration with Vectorworks lets you sketch on your plans and other drawings by sending scale-accurate sheets or viewports via the cloud to your iPad. Sketch freely and then have your ideas flow straight back into your Vectorworks project as images or linework via DXF with less effort. No more manual juggling of PDFs, emails, and uploads simply to sketch by hand.

Identify and utilize existing object data – Recognize different types of default object data, including 2D, hybrid, and complex objects, and navigate the Object Info Palette (OIP) and Resource Manager to explore attached records.
Create and attach custom records to objects – Develop and apply custom records to objects, incorporating various field types such as boolean values, text fields, and dropdown lists, and attach them using conventional methods.
Visualize and report data on drawings – Utilize Data Visualization and Data Tags to display object data within drawings, and generate both preformatted and custom reports for project documentation.
Join architectural designer, educator, and
digital workflow expert Henry Gao as he demonstrates three powerful workflows
that connect Morpholio Trace and Vectorworks into one seamless design process.
Drawing on his many years of experience
helping architects, interior designers, and landscape architects transition
from traditional hand drawing to efficient digital workflows, Henry will show
how sketching, redlining, and concept development can work hand in hand with
professional BIM and documentation tools. With real-world examples, you'll
learn how to mark up Vectorworks drawing sets in Morpholio Trace, send
revisions back for further development, create site and floor plans that can be
brought directly into Vectorworks, and sketch over 3D models to rapidly explore
and communicate design ideas. Plus, discover how integrating freehand
creativity with digital precision can help you iterate faster, improve
communication, and maintain design momentum from early concepts through project
development.
Whether you're new to the Morpholio Trace and
Vectorworks ecosystem—or looking to refine your workflow—this session will
provide practical techniques you can apply to your own projects immediately.

Vectorworks & mtextur: Efficient Architectural and BIM Workflows with Integrated Material Logic
Through direct integration into Vectorworks, materials are accessible exactly where architectural design and BIM planning occur. Manufacturer-specific material data can be quickly and intuitively retrieved, eliminating the need for extra import steps or ongoing maintenance. This supports reliable material decisions, enhances planning quality, and ensures consistent, transparent material use throughout all project phases. With the integrated mtextur database, Vectorworks benefits from a strong, professionally curated material foundation – enabling coherent, practice-oriented, and future-ready CAD and BIM workflows for architectural planning.
