We use VW Fundamentals for our architectural design and production work, along with the 3D work that we do. We like how tightly integrated the 2D and 3D components are.
- We really like the wall tool, as it is extremely customizable. Additionally, it has many smart elements that work with BIM.
- We like the parametric functions that allow for rapid customization of various building elements, such as windows and doors.
- The terrain modeler is very good, too. We are able to analyze cut and fill calculations in real time with it.
- The program is getting a little 'fat', and needs to be slimmed down. It is starting to bog down a bit when doing certain functions. The program of late is more buggy then we are used to seeing.
- I like how smooth Sketchup is in 3D. It would be great to get VW's to be more responsive in 3D.
- The space tool is very clunky.
- I would be great if a texture map could be a video and not just a still image. We could really use that.
- PLEASE get the energy modeling capabilities up to speed. It needs to be much more intuitive and NOT based on Passive House standards. Please include a clear output for a projects Energy Use Intensity (EUI) and how a project is doing relative to the 2030 Commitment.

Vectorworks is our primary BIM design tool - since 1994 we've been using Vectorworks and its predecessor incarnations to provide a one-software solution for design, modeling and construction drawings. It's perfect for our workflow, communicates flawlessly with other software platforms and is the best value on our Mac platform.
- 3D modeling - no need to start in SketchUp or other more rudimentary programs.
- Seamless import/export with other programs - ideal communication with consultants.
- Superb customer service, training, and tech support.
- We wish more US-based BIM users were trained in Vectorworks - however, it's very easy to get up to speed.
- AR tools are in their infancy on mobile devices - however great improvements in recent releases. Very accessible and impressive tools for use with clients.
