The best CAD software for architects, interior designers and 3D designers. The industry’s only modelling, drafting, and documentation software built with BIM at its heart.

Tackle complex ideas in 2D and 3D, refine details in your building’s construction, explore your project’s energy efficiency, streamline it’s costs — do all of this and more in Vectorworks Architect.

Imagine it. Design it. Document it.

Freely sketch, model, and document your design ideas with precision drafting capabilities and the most flexible 3D modelling tools, from solids, NURBS, subdivision, and algorithms-aided design.


Maximise the “I” in BIM

Easily quantify, analyse, and visualise information as early as the schematic design phase so you can make smart decisions.

Run “what if” scenarios and automate schedules, calculate costs, and analyse energy efficiency to maximise each design element.


Work with anyone

Easily collaborate and seamlessly share files with colleagues, consultants, and clients.


Win more work

Produce remarkable line drawings and stunning 3D presentations to impress even the toughest of clients.

Create an immersive presentation experience with cutting-edge technology like virtual and augmented reality and rendered panoramas.


Making the switch is easy

Learning a new software can be daunting, but with Vectorworks’ customisable user interface the transition experience doesn’t have to be unfamiliar. Bring your own CAD standards and libraries or customise them — the choice is yours. We’ll make the transition easy by helping you migrate to BIM at your own pace.
