It was an inexpensive option for playing with my house remodel.

I used this to try and map out the remodel of our house. I've been working with illustration programs for years, and but I found this program too difficult and clunky to work with.

This was their perfect website for me when I had to complete a school project. Once I figured out how to use it, it was pretty easy.

I finally got tired of struggling with it and gave up.

It was really fun to use and didn’t take too much time to get the hang of.

Great way to get a real vision of what your building will look like.

It was surprisingly accessible. I came into it having only done one class on drafting in junior college and was able to figure it out easily.

The furniture is a bit limited and you can't change all the colors but it didn't hinder my design.

Designs are easily and quickly developed and give my clients excellent 3D visualisation of what they could invest in before instructing professional architects and quantity surveyors.

The inventory facility gives me good integration to the first business plan for constructing, fitting out and ultimately operating the building.

Recently had an interest in doing 3D design and I really like this program. It's easy to use and has a good tools.

The tools are limited and the software doesn't have many kitchen furniture options. Each room needs to be built separately which takes longer to finish the project.

Great service, very easy to use even if you're not used to using those kinds of softwares. Offers some really nice features, it's a good go to get a rough idea of your plans.

Recntly I'v also ben using the software for community halls to illustrate grant applications with great success.

I would recommend this software to other architecture and interior design firms.

As an Architect + Planner + Interior Architect & Designer. Having the ‘Verticle Market’ solutions available like Vectorworks ‘Architect’ & ‘Designer’ is so very valuable.

When we factor in money, easy answer VectorWorks. We are a full BIM FIRM and VECTORWORKS does everything we need.

And the built in rendering tools are awesome as well, the result is more than enough to be used for project presentation.

We are finding now that some of our consultants are now using the software therefore the sharing of files is extremely easy. BUT the exporting of files to AutoCad are great too.

This is a pain as when it is needed across the office the dongle has to be physically passed over. We would prefer an online based license moving system.

Because of the limited use of this program in some markets, collaborating with others can be difficult.

It's safe to say VectorWorks is at the top of their game when it comes to architectural design.

And for BIM, it is hard to justify not using the industry standard software. So where is the edge for Vectorworks.

We take advantage of the software’s BIM capabilities to generate elevations, schedules, and smart tags. This program is visually appealing and easy to navigate.

BIM capabilities, ease of learning, ease of use, ease of rendering, Smart tools, exceptional customer service, stability and speed of work.

We use this software for early concept design as it simple and easy to use and produces beautiful concept plans and elevations.

We love this software for early concept design. The squiggly line affect means we can produce production quality drawings with ease that do not scare clients in the way a technical drawing would.

Has had issues with iOS updates in the past and time has been wasted waiting for patches. Very occasionally crashes for bizarre reasons.

The only downside of Vectorworks is that it won't work well when you need to collaborate with those who don't use it.

Easy to setup and create drawings. The tools are intuitive.

It is a bit complex to setup design layers, and also troublesome to sort the classes.

The cost of the program makes it difficult to acquire it.

Complicated and feature-rich, requires a level of training and skill to properly utilize it to its potential. Difficult transition from AutoCAD.

The ease of use, the customer support from the software company, and the ease of training.

Solid set of features for a variety of use cases. Fairly easy to use, and offers lots of automated features that help speed up drafting tasks.

Vector works allow for collaboration with other CAD software, like REVIT ARCHITECTURE, its a perfect BIM tool.

The transition has been a smooth and good experience so far.

Space Designer is an online architectural space-planning application that lets users visualize their projects in 3D. Its intuitive tools are user-friendly for professionals and novices alike.

Its technology is adopted by a large range of individuals and professionals, such as event designers, realtors, furniture retailers, communication agencies or interior designers.

Space Designer 3D lets anyone draw an architectural project in a few seconds.
The application is built as a modular platform – companies can add extensions, new tools and custom interfaces.

Every project automatically generates a customizable inventory list that includes multiple metrics, such as object dimensions, products, and quantities. The produced data can be personalized to business needs.

The product catalog is fully customizable. 

More than a designing and visualization application, it is a communication channel between individuals and professionals. 

Space Designer 3D is an ecosystem containing several applications in one. One of its goals is to attract clients on your website and entice them to stay longer, to interact with your product thanks to the 3D application. To achieve this interaction, we integrate the application on your website under a white label, allowing prospects to see in 2D and 3D. Prospects have to sign up to access their project, in which your product is displayed.

This interactive journey can be adapted depending on your business model in a lot of different ways. In any case, this system involves your prospects directly. They become active in the process, not passive. You offer them another way to shop from their home, an option where they can “manipulate” the product in 3D.
Your product can be a house plan, furniture items, a service like interior design… it can be both tangible and intangible.

The aim is for your prospect to go through a journey on your website, play with the application and end this journey with a purchase of your product. But even if the journey doesn’t end with a purchase, you have their contact information, which will allow you to get in touch with them and encourage them to either buy your product, or get in touch with you to help buy it.
This lead generation list can be customized : you can encourage prospects to leave certain key information that matters for your business model, such as their region, or their country, etc.
