The Best in BIM
With Vectorworks Designer, you can create Building Information Models (BIM) without changing your preferred design process. Whether you’re looking to streamline costs, analyse materials, increase your energy efficiency, or just create world-class designs, the Vectorworks Designer solution is an efficient way to introduce BIM capabilities into your workflow. Enjoy the robust and flexible capabilities of BIM with ease of design, great documentation, and intelligent tools.

Industry Leading 3D
An advanced suite of Parasolid-based solids and NURBS surface tools lets you create any shape and easily explore geometry. Plus, with graphical scripting tools, subdivision surface modelling, point cloud support, you can create any shape and easily explore geometry. Vectorworks' intuitive interface lets you design from any 3D view using modes in modelling tools that automatically infer working planes as you move your cursor, and enjoy the superior quality that allows you to manipulate your model with ease. More accurate object information and better snapping make drawing in 3D easy.

Seamless Interoperability
Import or export a wide array of image files. Publish your design for inclusion in your firm’s marketing materials or website. Get on the cutting edge of collaborative digital practices, exchanging 2D, 3D, Building and Site Information Modelling (BIM/SIM) data and models for numerous multidisciplinary, multi-platform design workflows, as well as sending models to CAD/CAM machines, CNC routers, and 3D printers.

Flexible Workflows & Project Sharing
Enable multiple designers to work concurrently on the same Vectorworks Designer file with Vectorworks' Project Sharing feature. Project Sharing provides a flexible way to manage productive workflows for even the most complicated project. Plus, the software lets you create, model, present, and develop your designs easily and precisely with just one application.

Superior 2D Documentation
Vectorworks Designer offers precision drafting tools, intelligent objects for building, detailing, MEP, furniture, millwork, machine parts, and annotations, plus thousands of free symbols from leading building product companies. Batch print drawing sets or export them as multipage PDFs at full or reduced sized. Plus, use the exclusive sketch rendering technology to change hard-lined drawings into soft, hand-sketched illustrations, blurring the line between clear, accurate technical documentation and compelling presentations.

Superior SIM Tools
Vectorworks Designer provides an efficient way to introduce Site Information Modelling (SIM) capabilities into your workflow. The program’s tools will help you analyse your design for area, volume, slope, cut/fill, and other data such as water flow and sun/shade. Scan in planting plans and trace over them with ease. Or, simply enter your field measurements. Use the property line tool to define a site’s boundaries and setbacks. Plus, building tools and site objects easily document existing structures and site conditions. In addition, you can use the program’s drawing, modelling, and 2D and 3D graphics capabilities to create compelling presentations.

Unmatched Experiences
Vectorworks Designer software gives designers in the entertainment industry an edge to advance their ideas from concept through completion. The extensive libraries of signature brand lighting are complemented by best-in-class documentation tools, so users can quickly create light plots, automate paperwork, and visualise your design in rendered 3D views.
