You can walk around and look around all you want. Put the phone in your Google Cardboard goggles, and you are in! That is, you are inside the model virtually. Now the image of the model will change to a stereoscopic view. Copy the link and open it on a smartphone then click on the virtual reality icon. You can send the link to a client and by clicking on it, the client can also view the model in 3D. After a bit of a wait, your model will pop up in your web browser. Then while being online click on the new export feature that sends the model to the Vectorworks Cloud. You the designer can take your 3D model, your BIM, of your latest project to the level of detail you want. And progress they have made web view now handles larger sized files, the interface is better, and the virtual views work well. Last year, I made the comments below on web view, but I also said it was a work in progress. OpenGL makes that easy.Ġ6 – An example of an OpenGL fly-around view, notice the quality of items.

In fact, today, many print shops will print color for the same price as black and white so why not add some colored elevations to your construction documents. The quality of renderings you get from it is just fine for many presentations, like colored elevations and sections. In fact, this is the fun factor in architecture and design today, designing in a virtual world. If you are working in 3D or BIM if you prefer that term, what more do you want? Combine that with multiple drawing views, and you can really have some fun.

Working on a project like the one I have shown here, the 3D model is always there, rotate around it, zoom in and out, whatever you want and it is like live action – no waiting around.

I have to say I this is one area of the program that is really strong it has been around for a long time, and I can’t exactly say what they have done to it, but it hauls ass. 05 – Renderworks continues to improve in Vectorworks 2018 with more Cinema 4D rendering goodness.
