Vectorworks Architect Reviews

“Outstanding Software

Pros

Its BIM capabilities, ease of learning, usability, rendering ease, smart tools, exceptional customer service, stability, and speed of work are noteworthy.

Cons

Really... nothing. If the software lacks a feature that others have, they're probably working on it for the next version.

“Legacy User Loves Vectorworks 2020

Pros

I wish the initial price was lower :-)

“Vectorworks review

Pros

The wide range of features and functionality is impressive.

Cons

Glitchy quirks randomly appear and there's little support from VWX techs.

“Produces beautiful drawings

Pros

I love using this software for early concept design. The wiggly line effect allows me to produce production-quality drawings effortlessly, which are less intimidating to clients compared to technical drawings.

Cons

We use this software with a dongle license, which is a hassle because it has to be physically passed around the office. I'd prefer an online-based licensing system. Also, when exporting drawings to AutoCAD for detailed design, we encounter some accuracy issues.

“Event Planning with Vectorworks

Pros

I really like that I can draw in 2D and it generates the 3D for me. For event production and planning, it's essential for configuring space, from set pieces to lighting design.

Cons

The cost. It's a bit pricey, but considering everything it does and its ease of use, it's worth the investment.
