Vectorworks Training

Are you an artist, architect, or interior designer? If so, then you need to understand how to take advantage of Vectorworks, the ultimate software for computer-aided design (CAD). The Vectorworks platform provides all the features and functionality you need to take your ideas and turn them into actionable plans and realistic visualisations. The software currently has a massive user base of over 685,000 people.

Within the Vectorworks suite of programs, you can seamlessly integrate Interiorcad as a powerful plugin. Interiorcad serves as an end-to-end solution for the design and manufacturing of cabinets and architectural joinery. This versatile plugin allows you to swiftly and easily create furniture and casework of any shape or size. Particularly essential when designing kitchen spaces, where cabinets and furniture play a crucial role in aesthetics, Interiorcad empowers you to design and present your plans in three distinct modes, from initial sketches to lifelike renders. It seamlessly augments your Vectorworks experience, ensuring efficient cabinet and joinery design within the platform.

Within the program itself, unique shapes and objects can be designed and presented with real-life dimensions. You can then extract data from the program to get cutting lists, construction plans, and cost estimations. Furthermore, you can change your design at any time to suit any changes the client wishes to make.

What’s New In Vectorworks 2024?

Vectorworks 2024 introduces an updated and modernized user interface that enhances efficiency and allows for effortless customisation. The View and Mode bars have been restructured, placing essential tools front and center for easy access. This intuitive arrangement simplifies navigation and workspace personalization, saving valuable time for designers.

The revamped Project Sharing feature ensures that project data and geometry are always up-to-date. Project Sharing+ brings meticulous change tracking into play, ensuring reliability regardless of project size or team composition. Notably, designers can now save custom viewport settings as "styles," making them easily transferable between different sheets or project files. This feature streamlines workflows by eliminating redundant tasks and minimizing the risk of errors.

A significant enhancement in Vectorworks 2024 is its integration with Excel files, facilitating bi-directional data referencing. This integration reduces manual input and enhances connectivity to external data sources, fostering improved collaborative data capabilities. Additionally, the Shaded Rendering feature has been refined, allowing designers to infuse their designs with heightened realism. Enhanced shadow casting and the addition of camera settings for depth of field, exposure, and bloom effects bring real-world camera dynamics to the real-time Shaded Rendering mode.
