With this one program, you can create all the detailed working drawings you need. You can also easily visualize your design in 3D and create animated walk-throughs. Advanced production drafting capabilities

In addition to precision 2D drafting, VectorWorks Designer offers advanced tools and technology to help you manage CAD standards and create complete sets of construction documents. You'll find features, such as an advanced navigation palette, that allow you to quickly and easily navigate between layers and classes, as well as manage saved views. An Issue Manager tracks your issues in a log and automatically updates your title blocks. A timesaving Batch Print command allows you to print all your drawing sheets with a single click.

VectorWorks Designer cutting-edge object technology, a feature typically reserved for programs that cost thousands more, makes it easy to create and change design elements without having to redraw them. VectorWorks Designer offers a complete collection of tools for: Building and interior design Landscape and land planning Lighting and entertainment design Machine design and fabrication With VectorWorks Designer, you can easily create walls, stairs, doors and windows. You can add plants and create exterior environments. You can grab lights and trusses or layout a seating plan. You can even detail the design with nuts and bolts, belts and chains, structural shapes and other engineering elements. And, because most objects in VectorWorks display in 3D as well as 2D, you'll be automatically creating 3D models of the design as you draw. Sophisticated 3D modelling

In addition to the largest library of ¿intelligent¿ 2D/3D objects available in any CAD program, VectorWorks Designer offers unique object/NURBS interaction and other advanced 3D capabilities. For example, you can fit walls to the underside of any NURBS object to create organic building objects. Or, slice a 3D model into floors or levels. You can build models from existing 2D drawings by simply sketching profiles, or by modelling directly in 3D. Unique surface/solids capabilities allow you to seamlessly switch between the two and combine shapes to create standard and non-manifold geometry. And, with 16-bit floating point precision, your models will be accurate and ready for analysis and manufacturing. Automatic cost and materials tracking

Built-in database and worksheet capabilities allow you to attach data records to objects in your design and then create worksheets that report on the fields you choose to display. VectorWorks Designer also offers automatic materials lists, scheduling and take-offs in a number of preformatted styles. Complete collaboration capabilities
