    Vectorworks is just as useful for perfectly measured, hard-line CAD drawing as it is for making beautiful presentation drawings and renderings. Tools in the application allow you to transition between working drawings and presentation drawings without modifying the underlying geometry. DWG exchange with other design team members works very well

    Blender is still behind Zbrush when it comes to production quality. But ZBrush is a bit on the expensive side. But again, I've used it for 20 years. So the $100s of spent back then have paid off many times over by now. Just something to consider when purchasing, though.

    Pros
    Vectorworks, Inc.
    • I tell people that Vectorworks is CAD for people who know how to draw. You can control the appearance of all the objects on a layer, or you can tweak the way a single object looks. Most of the barriers to producing good-looking, legible drawings are removed.
    • Vectorworks Landmark is made for landscape architects.Creating hardscape, planting, and irrigation plans is pretty straightforward.

    Cons
    Vectorworks, Inc.
    • There's a bit of inconsistency in the operation of some tools that would appear to the user to be more similar.
    • Importing complex Revit models takes a long time and, if the model has a lot of symbols in it, the import might not finish.

    I was an AutoCAD user before switching to Vectorworks when coming to work with my current firm. Vectorworks Landmark includes tools specifically designed for landscape architects - it's not an AutoCAD add-on. The initial investment for a new seat is much less than AutoCAD, and the Service Select program pushes down the annual upgrade cost even more

    Even though it's 4x as old, ZBrush is still better in my opinion. Plus, I'm just so used to it by now after 20 years. Blender will indeed become better over time and the leading industry standard soon, but for now, ZBrush is still better for me for sure. Love it!

    Return on Investment
    Vectorworks, Inc.
    • There is a learning curve for new employees, as regionally Vectorworks is not in wide use and generally not introduced in the academies
    • However, because it is more intuitive as far as WYSIWYG drawing, most people pick up the basics pretty quickly.
    • It's a really powerful suite of tools. Sometimes it's good to spend some time afforded by a larger project to explore ways to use the software more efficiently (e.g., improving worksheets, using different smart object tools, etc.)

    • a single tool to quickly and effectively create 3D objects.
    • Highly detailed 3D models allow us to create a range of highly detailed NFT 3D art collections for our clients.
    • Setting up licenses across an entire team can become costly.

    Screenshot of Vectorworks Landmark 2025Screenshot of a geographic survey or reference point with a single operation, that helps to save time and avoid complications among collaborators. This serves both new and existing projects. Users can place a survey point anywhere in the document to specify coordinates, angles to true north, and elevation information in both 2D and 3D.Screenshot of the interface to design accurate curbs, borders, and edging elements based on profile extrudes or individual unit placement. These elements can be created as freestanding or integrated with hardscapes and landscape areas. Specify corner and insertion details and define front and back curb modifier points for terrain manipulation. Design styles improve work consistency and save time by reducing the need for revisions.
