Realise your most inspired visions with Vectorworks Architect. After all, you inspired its design. It's flexible, so you have the freedom to design the way you want. It's versatile, so you can create, model, and present easily and precisely with one application. It's intuitive, so it works the way you think. It's a smart investment that's affordable, customer-focused, and proven worldwide.
Enjoy the Freedom to Design the Way You Want
With the Vectorworks Architect program, you’re not limited to a prescribed workflow, so you have the freedom to work the way you want to work. Incorporate your existing approach to design to make the best use of the skills you already have in-house. Collaborate seamlessly with co-workers and colleagues with other software applications. Here are some of the compelling reasons to purchase or upgrade:
• Use a quick sketch or a simple diagram when that’s all you need.
• Put together winning 2D/3D presentations when you’re still competing for the job and don’t have the time or budget to make the investment in a detailed BIM approach.
• Turn your project team loose with the outstanding production tools of the Vectorworks software.
• Incorporate BIM technology when it’s right for the client and project—without turning the firm upside down.
Freeform Modelling
Whether you’re working in 2D or 3D, unified view mode lets you draft or model within a unified coordinate system. With an intuitive interface, you can design from any 3D view, 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 so easy. The SmartCursorTM helps you by showing hints, like the angle from the previous segment, as you draw. Plus, an advanced suite of solids and NURBS surface tools allows you to create any shape and easily explore organic geometry. Blend, twist, sculpt, deform, or punch holes. Anything’s possible with the Vectorworks Architect 2011 software.
Going Beyond the Building
Make the entire design stand out. Architecture is more than just the building. With the Vectorworks Architect program, you can design anything—graphics, interior details, hardware, furniture, fittings, or whatever you can imagine—without having to learn or use additional applications.
Efficient Workgroup Capabilities
Break up complex projects. Whether you’re a sole practitioner collaborating with other professionals or a large firm dividing work among different members of the team, workgroup referencing provides a flexible way to split even the most complicated
project into manageable pieces.
Easy File Translation
Get on the cutting edge of digital practice, and move your building models fluidly between design, analysis, and construction packages with Vectorworks’ IFC 2x3 translator. Import and export AutoCAD® 2011 (and earlier) files. Send out drawing sets as multi-page PDFs.
Cutting Edge 3D
See it in 3D. Send models to CAD/CAM machines, CNC routers, and other 3D printers. The Vectorworks Architect package supports a number of standard 3D file formats, including Parasolid X_T, IGS, SAT, KML, STL, and 3DS.
Flexible: Enjoy the Freedom to Design the Way You Want
With the Vectorworks Architect program you're not limited to a prescribed workflow, so you have the freedom to work the way you want to work. Incorporate your existing approach to design to make the best use of the skills you already have in-house. Collaborate seamlessly with co-workers and colleagues with other software applications.
Versatile: Create, Model, and Present with One Application
Move easily between tasks. From design concepts to construction documentation and every design phase in between, the Vectorworks Architect product marries precision drafting and flexible modelling with state-of-the-art technology. Create, model, and present easily and precisely with one application. With Vectorworks Architect software, you can do it all.
Intuitive: Work the Way You Think
Easy-to-use Interface and Drafting Tools Do what you like to do best—design. You won't waste time getting up to speed because the Vectorworks Architect software's simple, customisable interface and what-you-see-is-what-you-get display make it easier to learn and use than standard CAD applications. No matter what you're switching from, the Vectorworks Architect application interface will be familiar. Vectorworks' SmartCursor™ technology replaces manual drafting tools, so even inexperienced CAD users can make the switch easily.
Smart: Make a good investment in yourself
Affordable, customer-focused, and proven worldwide—Vectorworks is a smart investment in you.
Proven Worldwide
Be part of a long tradition of excellence. The company was founded over 20 years ago, and the Vectorworks product line now counts more than 450,000 professional designers worldwide. We listen to our customers and use their feedback to create a product that continually exceeds their expectations, delivering superior design flexibility and world-class graphics.
Renderworks Features
Renderworks 2011 is faster, easier, and more powerful than any of the previous versions. Now based on the robust CINEMA 4D render engine, the results are breathtaking and easier to achieve. It is an ideal solution for architects and designers.
When used in tandem with the newest version of CINEMA 4D software, Release 12, you can achieve extra realism and an unlimited choice of rendering options. No matter what your visualisation needs are, Renderworks and
CINEMA 4D give you the power to deliver.
Add Renderworks to Create Spectacular 3D Presentations
Renderworks seamlessly integrates into Vectorworks to provide you with sophisticated photorealistic and hand-rendered effects. Whether you're objective-realistic or artistic-you can create stunning presentations to help you sell your ideas.
Create Realistic Renderings
Interactive OpenGL rendering supports textures, shadows, backgrounds, and allows real-time flyovers and walkthroughs.
For photo-realistic rendering choose between Radiosity and Ray Traced rendering. Both come with options for Final Gather, anti-aliasing, realistic lighting behavior and shadows. Shadow option allows you to add hard or soft shadows to your scenes.
Show your models on the real-world environments by incorporating photos as backgrounds or choose one of the default color, sky/cloud, or HDRI backgrounds. For drama, add atmospheric effects such as snow, fog, and lit fog to your backgrounds.
Show shafts or beams of light with volumetric lighting. Options allow you to control the density and atmospheric effect.
Create Non-Photorealistic (Artistic) Renderings
Artistic rendering mode allows you to soften hard lines and reproduce many hand-sketched styles, including cartoon, color wash, contour, tapered lines, hatch, ink print, lines and shadows, mosaic, oil painting, overlapping lines, soft lines and stipple. They are perfect when you're just trying to convey concepts and give clients a sense for the space.
Take Textures to a New Level
Access a vast library of image-based textures and pre-defined shaders out of the box. Or, create custom textures from file formats, such as TIF, JPG, GIF and BMP. For added realism add reflection, transparency and bump effects.
Turn any color into a texture or, depending on what Vectorworks product you have, you can easily convert Vectorworks Pantone®, Benjamin Moore®, Sherwin-Williams®, Resene®, or Rosco® color palettes into texture libraries.
Turn any photo into a 3D image prop or access the free image prop library that ships with Renderworks.
It's easy to apply and edit textures in real time. Interactively position, resize and rotate textures directly on the surface of 3D objects.
Sun Studies and VR
Accurately create sun studies and solar animation by defining a directional light at a specific latitude, longitude, date and time.
Renderworks provides Macintosh® and Windows®support for QuickTime® VR.
Light and Cameras
In addition to the direction, spot, and point lights found in Vectorworks, Renderworks adds line and area lights. Area and line lights add another level of realism to your rendered scenes, allowing you to transform objects into light sources. They're great for producing soft, glowing lighting effects such as neon tube lighting, fluorescent light boxes, lit windows or skylights.
Physical lighting attributes allow you to define a light object with real-world photometric properties as well as by importing load distribution files provided by lighting manufacturers.
Quickly light scenes and add environments by adding HDRI backgrounds.
Cameras make it easy to set and edit 3D views. Perspective View controls let you set the camera's height, the look-to-height, move the camera left/right as well as pan, adjust the focal length (zoom), change the aspect ratio and clip frame size.
A handy Visualization palette provides a one-stop interface for managing lights and cameras in the model.
Added Import Export Options
- Export EPix/Paranesi option.
- Export QuickTime® Panorama and Object VR movies.
- Export High Dynamic Range Image (HDRI).
