Vectorworks is a unique and world-leading CAD and BIM software for Windows and Mac Platforms, developed by Nemetschek Group from Germany in 1985. It is widely used by hundreds of thousands of designers around the world in architectural design, landscape design, lighting design, mechanical design, and many other fields. Although less popular than AutoCAD, it is the preferred tool for architectural and product industrial designers in Europe, America, Japan, and other industrialized countries.

Vectorworks is committed to developing Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) solutions that are flexible, versatile, intuitive and affordable, and provides a wide range of 2D mapping, 3D modeling, BIM and rendering capabilities for your architectural design and landscape design needs. It comes with designer-centric tools and features that give your workflow great degree of freedom, ease of use, and flexibility. And, using Vectorworks means that you will most likely not need to buy, learn or maintain any other software to meet your design needs.

Vectorworks offers a number of simple but powerful building and product industrial design tool modules, such as Architect, Landmark, Spotlight, and Fundamentals. The functions provided by these modules give it professional performance in architectural design, landscape design, stage and lighting design, mechanical design, rendering, and so on fields. In fact, its extensive and professional functions have been accepted by various industries.

By deeply integrating with BIM software, Vectorworks supports multiple technologies and approaches to integrate construction data into your design and report that data on demand. This doubtlessly brings high accuracy and productivity to your company. Its built-in collaboration tools make Vectorworks the right solution for both small and large teams and projects of all sizes.
