Vectorworks 2025 sets new standards in the areas of BIM planning, 3D interactivity and visualization.
LÖRRACH, Germany, Nov 4, 2024 – Vectorworks 2025 sets new standards in the areas of BIM planning, 3D interactivity and visualization. New, intelligent tools allow users to create models more effectively, design more diverse plans and visualize data in a more meaningful way. This not only creates the basis for well-founded decisions, but also opens up a new level of visual understanding and communication – at every stage of the planning process.
“At Vectorworks, we’re dedicated to creating usability wins for our customers, ensuring that our software doesn’t dictate the limits of what’s possible,” said Vectorworks CEO Dr. Biplab Sarkar. “Our latest version is a testament to this commitment, providing powerful tools that seamlessly integrate into your workflow, allowing you to focus firmly on your ideas without obstacles.”
For All Designers
In an era where designers demand more from their technology, Vectorworks 2025 rises to the occasion, delivering a design software experience that mirrors the way users want to work. This latest release focuses on intuitive visualization and interactivity, with tools that empower designers to bring their visions to life with ease.
Key features include Onscreen View Control, which allows for easy, instant access to all views of a model, along with a click-dragging functionality to quickly orbit models. The Two-Point Perspective feature allows users to create traditional architectural compositions and professional photography perspectives with a single click, replacing previous hand-drawing methods.
In addition, the new Object Level Visibility feature enables users to manage the visibility of specific objects within a design with options to show, ghost, hide, or isolate individual objects. The Vectorworks Cloud Drawing Reviewer allows customers to view and comment on documents from anywhere, streamlining the review and design process.
For Architect and Interior Designers
Vectorworks 2025 showcases the company’s dedication to the software’s continuous development and evolution to meet the needs of today’s industry professionals. The new version allows architects and interior designers to focus on creativity and design rather than the specific capabilities of their software platform.
Key features include a flexible room finish management tool that can generate comprehensive finish reports and more automated BIM data assignment to support construction classifications. Additionally, the introduction of an advanced countertop modeling tool complements the software’s existing interior architecture workflow. The German version also includes a new tool for provisions for void and a new room design feature that is directly connected to Eastern Graphics’ pCon.Catalog. This function gives users access to high-quality CAD solutions and configurable 3D models from renowned manufacturers.
For Landscape Architects and Designers
For customers in the landscape industry, Vectorworks 2025 enhances data-centric, collaborative workflows. This furthers our commitment to making BIM accessible for landscape professionals and encourages them to embrace the software’s smart, dynamic tools.
Key features include a precise 3D Curb tool for modeling curbs, edges, and borders, the Survey Point tool for establishing a geographic project base point among collaborators, and updates to the Landscape Area and Hardscape tools to document sustainability data. Making this data accessible empowers landscape architects and designers to evaluate their designs more effectively, make informed decisions about sustainability, and report on their adherence to any required sustainability objectives or standards.
For Lighting, Scenic, Rigging, and Event Professionals
Version 2025 underscores Vectorworks’ dedication to listening to designers and evolving the software to meet their needs. Several features in the latest version have been implemented specifically at the request of customers in the entertainment industry.
Additionally, Vectorworks 2025 is dedicated to accelerating workflows with a strong emphasis on quality. The introduction of the Showcase previz mode enables streamlined visualization directly inside the Vectorworks Spotlight interface. Customers will also find an ability to automatically download and map GDTF fixture information, as well as significant quality improvements to central functionality such as Schematic Views, Power Schematics, and Truss and Light placement. These enhancements ensure greater output and precision in documentation.
