These are: Architect, Landmark (for landscapers), Spotlight (for media and entertainment/stage design), and Fundamentals (a basic version). Vectorworks comes in four flavours, all built on the same core technology. And, post-launch, Vectorworks has added two exciting new capabilities: first, Scan-to-BIM, supporting Apple’s brilliant mobile RoomPlan Technology and second, quality checking via Solibri Inside.īut first, let’s look at the sales strategy for this product. In Vectorworks 2023, the BIM feature updates continue. Behind the scenes, meanwhile, some major rearchitecting has been undertaken, not least with a whole new port to Apple Silicon.

New features needed to be added to the core BIM tool, in Windows and Apple Intel.
Recent releases of Vectorworks have been both important and tricky. The 2023 version now offers users support for scan-to-BIM with Apple’s RoomPlan and quality checking via Solibri Inside

Totally pie-in-the-sky as far as we're concerned over here, of course.Vectorworks has been busy with a major update to its flagship product. Some of those features in that Road map in the development and 'In Active Research' (i.e.'Wishes') are real nice, though. I know for a fact that there a couple of users here who are still active on this board (for the moment.and still users.again for the moment.) bringing up issues and concerns, but who also show up in other program forums as well with the other programs they use or are forced to use for job-related reasons. I wonder for how much longer Graphisoft will be able to sustain this "brain drain" of user insight, knowledge and experience accumulated over years, with users opting for other market alternatives (or being forced to) and that they're now practically just gifting their rivals and competitors in the market. The overall and over-arching point here is that if you don't serve your users' needs and requests for program improvements in features and tools, your competition surely will, facilitated by some of those same disgruntled users (and more pointedly, former users) and refugees from your program who see their needs not having any priority or significance for developers here.Īs you can see first-hand from some of those features in that roadmap.

(In fact, I've actually observed this in real time with screen caps being shown how a particular feature works in ArchiCAD and why and how it would be useful in a Vectorworks BIM environment or in a Revit feature upgrade in the future.)
Having worked in Vectorworks over the last several years and seen the direction they're attempting to take the program in as well as the discussions held over there with their users and developers, it tells me that it's not so much that we have a whole bunch of Vectorworks/Revit/Autodesk users and developers lurking on the forums here and either cribbing off of the program and discussions here, but rather the opposite in that you have an increased proliferation of ArchiCAD or former ArchiCAD users in there boards driving the discussions and introducing ideas for features that come directly from their experience using ArchiCAD to be introduced in these other programs.
I've made a similar observation in the Revit Trello board/wishlist forum as well as in the feature set list in AutoCAD in recent years. What's so fascinating and intriguing looking at that Vectorworks roadmap is how a lot of those features and tool improvements/wishlist items seem to be taken either directly from ArchiCAD itself (as in the features it currently has) or from the Wishlist section here as features that some on here have asked for improvement in, or introduction to the program.
