We take advantage of the software’s BIM capabilities to generate elevations, schedules, and smart tags. This program is visually appealing and easy to navigate.
It must be integrated with other software solutions and at least on MacBook Pro it is a disaster. I understand that it is not entirely a software problem but it is really depressing.
Vectorworks is a great drafting program. It allows you to do anything you want, with great control over how the drawings look, and many ways to organize a complete drawing set.
Because of the limited use of this program in some markets, collaborating with others can be difficult.
Classes and layers system is generally a good way of working. I like the clean appearance of the workspace.
The biggest drawbacks to using Vectorworks is that it is not as widely used in the construction industry, so can be limited in transferring between consultants etc.
BIM capabilities, ease of learning, ease of use, ease of rendering, Smart tools, exceptional customer service, stability and speed of work.
And for BIM, it is hard to justify not using the industry standard software. So where is the edge for Vectorworks.
I like the pricing aspect the most. It is also important to have cabinets and aspects that can be modified to show client nice, realistic renderings.
3D rendering for clients to show their kitchen and being able to price it, otherwise I hate being forced to use it. We hate the cloud browser.
It's easy to use and the end reports look great. I love the cloud imports for adding character and the ability to import our own textures, countertop, flooring and artwork.
The most frustrating software I use for work. I unfortunately have to use this almost daily for designing cabinetry, and ordering.
Like the ease of creating a design, customers love to see a visual rendering of what they are buying before committing.
Still struggling with color pictures for presentations.
Full color catalogs allow for realistic presentation to clients. Ability to customize colors and textures makes it fun and clients appreciate the extra effort.
