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.

This on-demand class offers a comprehensive exploration of working with data in Vectorworks software, covering everything from built-in object parameters to advanced visualization and reporting techniques. Participants will start by examining the different types of native object data within the software, then progress to creating and attaching custom records for both simple and complex objects. The class will also demonstrate practical methods for viewing, managing, and presenting data using tools such as Data Visualization, Data Tags, and report generation. This class will develop your skills to structure, manage, and leverage object data effectively—ultimately boosting project efficiency, accuracy, and documentation quality.

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 architect, International Associate AIA, and lead
product specialist Luis Ruiz for a visual journey through how interior design
ideas are communicated to clients, from hand-rendered perspectives and sample
boards to CAD plans, photorealistic renderings, VR walkthroughs, and today’s
AI-powered tools. You’ll see how each shift has changed the designer–client
conversation while the core challenge has stayed the same: helping people
clearly envision spaces that don’t yet exist.
Drawing on his architectural background and years
supporting interior designers worldwide with design technology, Ruiz will
connect historical methods, current platforms, and emerging tech to reveal
what’s been gained, what’s been lost, and what may come next for your practice.
To receive 1 AIA LU and 1 IDCEC CEU, please make sure to login and complete the quiz after watching our webinar.

Trace how interior
designers have communicated spatial concepts, materials, and design intent to
clients across four eras — from hand-crafted to AI-augmented — and how each
stage shaped the client relationship.
Compare today’s
visualization options, including real-time rendering, VR, AR, and AI-powered
tools, so you can match capabilities, cost, and accessibility to different
project types and client expectations.
Explore emerging
technologies such as digital twins, metaverse environments, haptic interfaces,
and generative AI.
Discuss how new
technologies may reshape client communication for interior designers in the
years ahead.
