Experience a New World of Design with Vectorworks 2025

The world of design is evolving, and so are the tools that empower these creative professionals. As the design industry grows more dynamic, so does Vectorworks. We’re always committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, ensuring that our software meets and exceeds the ever-growing demands of designers worldwide. Vectorworks 2025 is officially here, bringing a whole new world of groundbreaking features that redefine 3D interactivity and visualization, transforming how designers visualize their models, design intent, and data in their working environment.

At the core of this new product line are the visualization-related changes including the Onscreen View Control feature, which offers instant access to all model views with simple click-dragging functionality, allowing users to orbit models seamlessly. The Two-Point Perspective tool elevates visual compositions by enabling traditional architectural and professional photography perspectives with a single click.

One-click navigation gives you easy, instant access to all views of your model with Onscreen View Control.

The new Object Level Visibility feature enhances design flexibility by allowing users to show, ghost, hide, or isolate individual objects within a design, ensuring that every detail is meticulously managed. Complementing this is the Vectorworks Cloud Document Reviewer, which empowers users to review and comment on documents from anywhere, making collaboration and feedback faster and more efficient.

Empowering Architects and Interior Designers

Vectorworks 2025 introduces several innovative features to streamline design processes and enhance project management across various disciplines. The new countertop tool combines automation with flexible customization, allowing designers to craft detailed countertops easily. Whether working on a large-scale project or a tailored design, this tool provides superior control over features such as overhangs and backsplashes. With efficient modeling options and automatic hole cuts, manual processes are significantly reduced, freeing up more time for creative exploration. Additionally, managing countertops across projects through customizable styles ensures consistency and efficiency, enabling designers to achieve high-quality visuals and accurate reports with minimal effort.

Room finishes in Vectorworks 2025 provide a more versatile and efficient design process. You can now select multiple walls at once and apply surface finishes in a single operation, simplifying a typically time-consuming task. This feature also offers customizable project finishes and advanced data visualization tools to streamline reporting and project management. With the ability to annotate and generate comprehensive reports, designers can better manage their time and focus more on personalizing the space to meet client needs rather than getting bogged down by repetitive tasks.

This latest version further refines BIM workflows with its new construction classification system. This feature allows you to easily assign and classify objects and sub-parts within your projects. By centralizing the management of these classifications and using a rules-and-criteria-based system, the process becomes more intuitive and reduces the risk of errors. Additionally, the automated application of local and national classification standards saves time. It ensures compliance within the BIM collaboration and specification writing workflow, allowing for more seamless integration into construction documentation processes.

Innovations for Landscape Architects and Designers

Vectorworks 2025 introduces enhanced features designed to optimize landscape design, streamline workflows, and support sustainability, offering greater precision and ease for users.

With the 3D Curb tool, you can now design curbs, edging, and border elements with acccuracy, either freestanding or integrated with hardscapes and landscape areas. Profile extrudes, individual unit placement, and corner detail specification simplify terrain adjustments, and these design styles ensure consistency and minimize revisions, saving time.

 The updated Landscape Area tool and the enhanced Hardscape tool streamline the design process, offering intuitive settings and automated documentation to improve visualization and collaboration. The Landscape Area tool supports sustainability goals by addressing issues like erosion and biodiversity. In contrast, the Hardscape tool provides greater control over visual attributes, slope, and sustainability factors such as permeability and solar reflectance. Together, these tools empower smarter design decisions that align with aesthetic and environmental objectives.
