This enables a consistent interface and access to all the same features whether using Nomad’s 3D model viewer or exporting a web link. Service Pack 3 for Vectorworks 2022 includes game-changing upgrades to the Vectorworks Nomad App and Web View capabilities based on the Unity Technologies® game engine. More Cloud Services updates include:
Simplified Direct Link with Twinmotion for Time Savings in Syncing Model Changes Vectorworks 2022 introduced Next-Gen technology features including a new Direct Link to Twinmotion.

Additionally, the Datasmith export now supports data and light information in the Unreal Engine editor for more data-rich and detailed models. There’s a variety of applications to use for rendering. Check out our guide for tips and tricks on using Twinmotion with Vectorworks software. The service pack is available as a downloadable update for all U.S. English-based versions of Vectorworks 2022.
