VECTORWORKS 2016 STUDENT SOFTWARE

Point Cloud Support - allows designers using their preferred 3D scanning device to capture a physical location and import a 3D point cloud object into Vectorworks software to manipulate and measure.Energos - offers a dynamic, intelligent gauge of a building’s energy performance during the design process and is based on the Passivhaus calculation method.Designers can create visual scripts that take advantage of Vectorworks software’s 2D and 3D modeling capabilities, integrating seamlessly with BIM environments. Marionette - is the first and only cross-platform, Python®-based graphical scripting tool in the AEC, landscape and entertainment industries.Subdivision Modeling - allows designers to transform primitive shapes like spheres and cubes into any form imaginable.Project Sharing - is an intuitive means for teams to communicate and collaborate while working concurrently on the same Vectorworks design file.

Here is a short list taken from the Vectorworks, Inc., press pages: Of course those improvements are spread throughout the various disciplines that Vectorworks 2016 covers so my focus will be on the big ones and those native to the Vectorworks Architect 2016 product. What else has changed? They talk about 100 improvements. Yeah, I could be available, get your office working round the clock using different time zones. I can even imagine joint venturing with offices in other countries. I would say that this also opens up some great opportunities for smaller offices to joint venture on projects they could not do on their own. On a slower connection you might have to go get a cup of tea but I suspect it would still be very workable.” The save and commits were quick (much much faster than WGR updates for instance). I immediately wondered if the new Project Sharing could also be used over the Internet that is, could someone work on a project from home or from another office while others worked on it in the primary office? I could not really try this myself but here is a quote from Christiaan Briggs, “I’ve been using Project Sharing over a VPN between my home in London and our office in London, both on very good internet connections. I can imagine the confusion, without a lot of management, in rival BIM products where “work sets” can consist of just about any object. That’s what makes it intuitive Vectorworks 2016 users are familiar with the layer setup so the team manager can easily assign layers to team members. A complaint, which I might call an advantage, is that individual objects cannot be checked out for work, one must check out an entire layer. If you need extra layers, post a note and a team member can respond agreeing to make them. They have taken a sort of social networking approach in which team members can communicate with each other while working on a team project. Those frustrations are a thing of the past! Project Sharingįrom my initial look it will make team work easy and fun.

This should be a welcome tool as it eliminates most of the tedious work of resetting everything when you upgrade to the latest version. The first thing you will do when installing the new version is use the new Migration Manager command which can automatically migrate custom workspaces, preferences, templates, favorite files, and libraries to the new Vectorworks 2016 version. And they didn’t just make file sharing possible they made it easy and intuitive through a new Project Sharing structure. Well it looks like they took my advice, mine and many others. That is, it was possible but difficult for more than one person to work on a file at the same time. In just about every review I have written I have complained that it was still best suited for the small to medium firms due to its lack of teamwork features and ability for more than one person to access the same file at the same time. There is one big addition to the software that might just make all the difference. 2016 could be the best year yet for Vectorworks Architect.
