Previous to this update the company released Vectorworks Cloud Services to Service Select subscription customers. Cloud Services gives customers the options of storing work in the cloud so that it can be accessed wherever they are and using a variety of devices. The company has released Nomad app for iOS which enables users to view, mark up, save, print, and share designs. Vectorworks says an Android version is coming out in the shortly. But, Vectorworks has much bigger visions for the cloud with the announcement of the 2013 release; Vectorworks CEO Sean Flaherty said the company will be expanding applications for the cloud.
In 2009, the company revamped Vectorworks by switching to Parasolid modeler as its 3D kernel, replacing Solids++. With Vectorworks 2013, the product had a new clip feature that lets customers work with a clip cube area to isolate geometry within the cube and even edit it. The advantages of the Parasolid modeler are also on display in the improvements made to roofing tools.
Vectorworks 2013 Full
New advances in rendering include non-blocking rendering. This feature allows people to continue to work on a design while it updates rendering information in the background. The Vectorworks modeler maintains 2D information in the background to make switching between contexts easier. The 2013 version will also include textures from Arroway and fast access from the menu to buy more Arroway textures. The new, built-in library includes wood veneers, concrete, wood flooring, stonework, tiles and other construction materials.
As processes evolve, architects and designers need superior tools to transition their designs from vision to reality. Answering that call is the Vectorworks 2013 product line from Nemetschek Vectorworks, Inc. This multi-dimensional software suite helps users implement Building Information Modeling (BIM) techniques and workflows and gain an edge in drawing, 3D modeling, integrated rendering, and high-quality presentations.
Specifically serving this industry is Vectorworks Architect, an intuitive software solution that multi-tasks just the way users desire. The 2013 release contains many useful improvements, including new commands and tools. Among them are:
I discuss the relationship between Lightwright and Vectorworks at length in Entertainment Design; Scenic, Lighting, and Sound, with Vectorworks Spotlight 2013.This is an important excerpt about good workflow, and avoiding Potential issues.
The following are real-world system recommendations for running Vectorworks 2013. In some demanding cases, we would suggest a more capable machine than is described by these recommendations. Likewise, there are some less demanding situations where Vectorworks will perform well on older hardware. The Vectorworks user experience is always improved by faster processors, faster graphics cards and adequate RAM.
"Whether you're an architect, a landscape professional or an entertainment designer, we know your process as a designer is evolving. With Vectorworks 2013, you'll discover new tools and forms of collaboration to support your design practice, streamline your workflows and improve your efficiency."
The Vectorworks 2013 product line contains more than 80 improvements, including new commands and tools. Performance in many areas of the program has also been improved, and examples of this include wall network manipulation, hidden line rendering, changes to Vectorworks Spotlight lighting devices and 2D navigation of Vectorworks scenes.
You asked and we listened. With Vectorworks 2013, we've added several improvements and capabilities to the DXF/DWG import and export process that will dramatically improve the interoperability process.Now you can export Vectorworks 3D objects as 2D flattened graphics in the DWG model space.A new command lets you do a batch export for DWG/DXF from multiple files at the same time.A new option allows you to make 2D and 3D conversion resolution adjustments during DWG/DXF imports.A new option lets you choose true (RGB) or indexed colors on DWG/DXF exports.A new DWG/DXF import feature improves the speed of your imports by alerting you when complex hatches with multiple boundaries are found. This alert gives you the option to skip importing the hatch, convert hatches to lines, or proceed with the import.
The lighting device object has been completely re-engineered to offer you great new capabilities and speed for new reset and regeneration times that are 10 times faster than in the 2012 version. Plus can now fully customize the lighting device parameter display with a new dialog box that allows you to add custom fields and re-order and re-name existing parameters. You can also add unlimited label legend labels to lighting devices.
The lighting device object has received a serious boost with features that are sure to make you more efficient. It's no longer necessary to try to remember label names when assigning a label legend. Instead, use the new pop-up on the lighting device. See the full height of the beam clearly at the focus point. Freely mix your own information with the built-in information using customized data records. See the simulated color of multiple gel sandwiches.
A great addition to the Vectorworks program is a new hyperlink feature. With Vectorworks 2013, you can create hyperlinks with associated thumbnails or symbols to launch websites containing product manufacturer data, open other Vectorworks documents, open a folder, or display saved views, sheet layers, open file resources such as image files, PDFs, movie files, and more. Plus, hyperlinks are preserved when exporting to PDF.
