About Vectorworks Architect

Sketching, drafting and modelling share a single BIM workflow in Vectorworks Architect, which is made for architects. Its maker contrasts it with other software by saying it can support a project from beginning to end, or help at any single point along the way.

From concept to construction documents

According to the maker, the software covers conceptual design, fully coordinated BIM models and construction documents. The idea is that one tool pulls the stages together instead of passing a project between separate applications.

Where the product sits

The software is part of the wider Nemetschek group, which describes itself as a provider of software for the architecture, engineering, construction and operation industries and as an advocate for open standards and OPEN BIM. The group's current pages organise their solutions by project type, such as offices and commercial buildings, cultural facilities, and airports, railways and ports.

TrustList summary

Vectorworks Architect is design software for architects that combines sketching, drafting and modelling in one BIM workflow. The maker presents it as a tool that can carry a project from start to finish, or help at any single stage, rather than covering only one task. It is listed under architecture software.

What Vectorworks Architect offers

Conceptual design: early sketching and form exploration.
BIM modelling: fully coordinated building information models.
Construction documents: drawings and documentation produced from the same project.
Flexible use: it can be picked up partway through a project as well as at the start.

Who it serves

Architects and design practices that want to keep concept, model and documentation work in a single application. The Nemetschek Group site linked to this listing says the group supports open industry standards and OPEN BIM, which allows customers to choose the tools that suit them.
