Vectorworks
Vectorworks is a professional computer-aided design (CAD) and building information modeling (BIM) software developed by Vectorworks, Inc. It is widely used in architecture, landscape design, entertainment, and interior design industries for creating detailed 2D drawings, 3D models, and documentation. The software integrates design, modeling, and presentation tools to support workflows from conceptual design to construction documentation.
Developers should learn Vectorworks when working in architecture, engineering, construction, or entertainment industries that require precise technical drawings and 3D visualizations. It is particularly valuable for creating BIM models, site plans, lighting designs, and set designs, offering interoperability with other CAD/BIM tools and scripting capabilities for automation. Use cases include architectural firms designing buildings, landscape architects planning outdoor spaces, and theater technicians modeling stage sets.
