The updates to the Plant Tools include a randomization feature so the design looks more natural. Once exported in a stereoscopic version, the client can place a phone in a virtual reality viewer, such as Google Cardboard, and explore the 3D design. Vectorworks 2017 can also generate virtual reality versions of the model.

Once a 3D design is completed, you can export it to the web and the software creates a link that anyone can access and view on any device. Sharing projects with clients and collaborators is now effortless, Vectorworks says, with several different options. Users can also create 3D shapes for the plants to create an overall canopy planning to help calculate the amount of shade created.įor those collaborating with others who use Revit software, Vectorworks 2017 can now import Revit files directly, retaining the manufacturer-specific objects that are used in the Revit families.ĭesigners looking to add simulated depth to their 2D presentations can now add drop shadows to whatever elements they choose in the project.
The Plant tool has also been updated so hedges can be created with different rows and other plants can be inserted with some randomization so the design doesn’t look too cookie cutter. “Over the years, we have created several gigabytes worth of content that we put behind the paywall, but what we have done recently is open that up and the resources we put on the Vectorworks Service Select site, which is our subscription site, are only available to those customers for a year and after that it is available to everyone,” said Vectorworks CEO Biplab Sarkar.
Also for the first time, all Vectorworks 2017 customers will have access to the Vectorworks Service Select subscriber libraries. The resource manager also provides ways to look at content from other websites. Previously, the software used a resource browser that some users found difficult to navigate, so this has been replaced with a resource manager that allows landscapers to search for, find and insert the content they need into their projects. The resource manager is designed to make perusing the many Vectorworks’ libraries straightforward. “ Irrigation tools in Vectorworks 2017 offer the easiest, fastest, most accurate system I have worked with, giving us a massive competitive advantage in the market,” said Bryan Goff, a beta-tester of Vectorworks 2017 and director of design and sciences at Grey Leaf Design. The coverage analysis tool shows where there is overlap between the outlets.ĭesigners can find content in the resource manager from irrigation equipment providers, such as Hunter Industries and Rain Bird, and calculate the pressure, velocity and flow rate of the project at any time.
Users are now able to create and save zones with similar watering needs with the Hydrozone tool.īuilt-in worksheets allow designers to calculate the water efficiency and meet water budget allowances.
Vectorworks says that’s just one of the new features of its latest software update, Vectorworks 2017.Īmong the most noticeable improvements in Vectorworks Landmark and Designer software are the new irrigation tools that streamline the site planning process.
