Vectorworks Reviews

Architosh
"Program is truly a BIM worthy competitor, especially for small and mid-sized firms or large firms on the Mac. Multi-file workgroup formation for BIM teams is superior from the point of view of limiting file size and working with remote offices. All firms considering BIM should short-list Vectorworks Architect 2009."

"This is the best update in the company's history of Vectorworks. Architects looking for BIM solutions would be remiss in not evaluating Vectorworks Architect 2008. Existing users – even those with no interest in BIM – will find plenty of powerful new features."

Spotlight
Lighting & Sound America
"With Nemetschek NA’s latest release of Vectorworks Spotlight version 2009, users are offered a program that is powerful, flexible, and intuitive. Powerful enough to be able to present my designs in 2-D and 3-D. Flexible enough to let me work my way and intuitive enough to help me make decisions so I can concentrate on my designs."
