BIM Project Delivery
Leverage intelligent, data-rich BIM workflows that include parametric objects like site models and softscape elements. Easily manage data and collaborate on your models.
Collaboration
Work seamlessly in a multi-user environment and share files with collaborators using common formats for AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, and Rhino.
Planting and Softscapes
Use tools for tree preservation and plant layout/selection to create detailed planting plans for landscape beds, rain gardens, green roofs, and more.
Schematics and Context Modeling
Geolocate your projects and integrate GIS to visualize site concepts with massing models, intuitive bubble diagramming, and powerful data visualization tools.
Sustainability and Site Performance
Optimize environmental impact with tools that help you assess embodied carbon, biodiversity net gain (BNG), biomass density, urban heat island effects, and permeability.
Worksheets and Reporting
Automatically generate estimates, proposals, quantity take-offs, plant lists, material schedules, and land use reports directly from your site drawings.
Bespoke Landscape Design Elements
Achieve truly unique landscape designs with advanced 3D modeling, and add custom parametric elements using algorithmic-aided design tools.
Cloud Sharing and Processing
Collaborate on projects from any web-enabled device, and free up bandwidth by shifting resource-heavy processing like rendering and file exports to the cloud.
Construction Documentation
Generate comprehensive construction documentation that includes live sections and elevations, site layouts, schedules, installation details, and legends.
Grading
Model complex terrain in both 2D and 3D, perform slope analysis, calculate cut and fill, and set accurate spot elevations to inform your grading strategies.
Hardscapes Design
Use specialized tools for hardscapes to add functional outdoor spaces to your landscape designs, from patios and city squares to paths, roadways, and overhead structures.
Irrigation Design
Design and analyze comprehensive irrigation systems with tools that factor in water budgeting and parameters like pressure, flow rate, and velocity.
Manufacturer Symbol Libraries
Access extensive symbol libraries from industry-specific manufacturers that include plants, hardscape features, site furnishings, structures, and more.
Mobile App
Use photos of existing sites to create 3D models, generate existing site inventory via point clouds, review cloud-hosted files, and visualize designs with AR and VR.
Quality Assurance
Visualize and validate your landscape designs with embedded data, and generate detailed data sheets that support project requirements such as compliance and site conditions.
Vectorworks Partner Network
Enhance your workflows with integrations from industry leaders like AutoTurn and Esri, plus partnerships with plant providers and nurseries.
Visualization and Presentations
Explore landscape concepts with AI and showcase your design solutions with immersive AR/VR experiences and rendered site plans, sections, and unique exterior perspectives.
Water Management
Analyze surface drainage to capture rainwater for reuse and infiltration, plus use hydrozones and worksheets to budget more efficiently and meet water conservation goals.
