IT’S ALL ABOUT YOUREXPERIENCE

Designers respond to the world differently. So do we. That’s why Vectorworks® software is a response to the way you design. It feels like you think, supporting the creative process instead of replacing it, and enabling great design to materialize from inspiration, exploration, and discovery.

Creative design is in our DNA, so we place a heavy emphasis on the freedom of artistic expression through the development and documentation of each project. Intuitive programming and workflow features make our products a natural extension of the design process, providing the tools to take you from concept to unmatched experience seamlessly.

Start your workflow transformation with Vectorworks Spotlight, the industry-leading design software in the entertainment business. From the beginning, Vectorworks Spotlight has provided 2D drafting and 3D modeling, realistic rendering, and integrated database worksheets. Today, we continue to empower lighting, scenic, and event designers to work the way you want, and facilitate improvisation and creativity.

There’s so much more to explore. Take a look and see what you can do with Vectorworks Spotlight.

CREATIVE MODELING SOLUTIONS

SUBDIVISION SURFACESEasily create multi-dimensional scenery and forced perspective by pushing, pulling, and molding your model with subdivision modeling. This technique, based on Pixar Animation Studios’ OpenSubdiv library, gives designers the ability to transform rigid lines and primitive shapes likes spheres and cubes into smooth, malleable surfaces, opening new workflow avenues across the entertainment industry and giving you the ability to create any form imaginable.

FREE-FORM MANIPULATIONWith our intuitive interface, you can design from any 3D view using modes in modeling tools that automatically infer working planes as you move your cursor, and enjoy the superior quality that enables you to manipulate your model with ease. More accurate object information and better snapping make drawing in 3D easy. The SmartCursor™ helps by showing hints, like the angle from the previous segment, as you draw, and our patent-pending X-ray

Select technology lets you see through models to select, move, and modify hidden objects with precision and ease. Plus, an advanced suite of solids and NURBS surface tools lets you create any shape and easily explore organic geometry. Push, pull, blend, twist, sculpt, deform, bulge, taper, or punch holes.

INNOVATIVE GRAPHICAL SCRIPTING

Graphical scripting will play a significant role in the workflows of the future. These tools, when built into an intelligent information modeling application, present designers with unlimited opportunities to generate, define, build, and explore form and function throughout the design process.

Built directly into Vectorworks Spotlight, Marionette is the first and only cross-platform graphical scripting tool for the AEC, entertainment, and landscape design industries. This Python®-based scripting tool operates within the Vectorworks platform, delivering a robust and scalable way to program well beyond the confines of traditional design software. When you use Marionette, you can create visual scripts that take advantage of the superior 2D interface and robust 3D modeling capabilities that Vectorworks software offers. Usher in a new world of discovery: systemize random effects to create elaborate, constructible, scenic backgrounds; generate organic shapes from truss; explore solutions to complex design challenges; and much more.

SYSTEM RECOMMENDATIONS

* Like past releases, Vectorworks 2016 added improvements that place still higher demands on graphic hardware. The performance and quality of the graphics provided by the Vectorworks Graphics Module depend directly on the speed, memory, and supported extensions of the graphics card. These new features have the potential to provide a very fast and fluid experience if used on capable hardware, or a noticeably slower experience if used on older or incompatible hardware. Graphic cards should support at a minimum OpenGL version 2.1; cards not meeting this recommendation will have limited functionality and poor performance, particularly when rendering in OpenGL mode. In general, the more powerful your video card is, the better your Vectorworks experience will be.
