Vectorworks Architect Screenshots

Screenshot of Vectorworks Architect 2025Screenshot of where the user has the ability to select multiple walls and apply surface finishes in a single operation. From here, users can manage, annotate, and create reports with customizable project finishes and data visualization to help streamline the documentation process.Screenshot of where to assign classifications to Vectorworks objects and sub-parts and manage them centrally with a rules-and-criteria-based system. This helps save time and reduce risk for errors with automated application of local and national classification standards in a BIM collaboration and specification writing workflow.Screenshot of a tool that balances automation with customization, used to create finely detailed countertops and achieve quality visuals and reports. Users can manage countertops across projects with customizable styles and find superior control of design features like overhangs and backsplashes. With efficient modeling and automatic hole cuts, time becomes available to create without having to worry about manual processes.Screenshot of an example of the one-click navigation that allows for instant access to all views of a model and interactive model orbiting with click-dragging. The optional display of XYZ axes, compass direction, and working planes help orient and navigate the model.Screenshot of where to show, ghost, hide, or isolate specific objects with individual visibility control. Navigate to specific parts of the model by isolating objects and create custom drawings or viewports to clearly communicate design intent. Apply object visibility directly within the design layer or save it to viewports and data visualizations. Find fast, flexible workflows, while also working harmoniously with Class and Layer visibilities.
