更新介紹
Solibri Direct
Released with Vectorworks 2021 Service Pack 3, Solibri Direct allows Vectorworks users to create a two-way connection between Vectorworks design series and Solibri Office. This connection creates a live sync exchange between the two, making navigation and updating easier than ever before.
Export Unreal Datasmith
Released with Vectorworks 2021 Service Pack 3, Vectorworks has partnered with Unreal® Engine to create a connection to real-time rendering application Twinmotion® and other Epic Games products that support the Datasmith file format. The Datasmith SDK ensures greater fidelity of model export to maintain the accuracy of your design.
Edit GDTF Data
Released with Vectorworks 2021 Service Pack 3, the GDTF Fixture Builder allows Vectorworks Spotlight users to edit and update lighting devices directly from the Vectorworks design interface. This web-based tool keeps all of your designing in one space, drastically improving your workflow efficiency.
Shared Cloud Folders
Released with Vectorworks 2021 Service Pack 3, Vectorworks Cloud Services now has folder sharing capabilities, allowing users to collaborate with team members and project stakeholders with the Sync and Edit option. The new permissions setting allows team members to work together (and even simultaneously!) on a project without continuously sharing multiple file versions.
Smart Options Display
Stay in the modeling space with tools right at the tip of your mouse. There’s no need to constantly move your mouse between your drawing area and the tool palettes. And the Smart Options Display is customizable to easily access your most-used tool sets, last-used tools, tool modes, and standard views with fewer mouse clicks, letting you focus on your design.
Quick Search
The versatility of Vectorworks comes from a dynamic set of tools and menus to get design done. In version 2021, we’ve made sure that these robust options are easily accessible without slowing down the design process while also freeing up space on your monitor. Quick Search delivers on that. Quickly find and activate any tool or menu command by typing what you need, and Vectorworks will make suggestions based on your search and most common tools.
Vectorworks Graphics Module Cache
We’ve enhanced the experience for users of multi-core processor machines by optimizing the Vectorworks Graphics Module (VGM). The new preference to save VGM cache means up to 5 times faster file loading. You’ll also see improved transition time when changing 3D views and layer visibilities and no delays when navigating in 3D with the Flyover tool or when changing views.
Smart Markers
We’ve given a boost to drawing markers in Vectorworks 2021, creating a documentation workflow that is sure to exceed your expectations. Section markers, interior elevation markers, reference markers, detail callouts, and drawing labels are now consolidated into tools that are completely customizable. Create your own drawing marker from scratch and define unique graphics. You can also backreference a drawing label to the marker itself. And when you publish your drawing sets as PDFs, the markers will auto-create hyperlinks, streamlining navigation through multi-page production plans and construction documentation.
Materials
Say hello to a monumental addition to information modeling in Vectorworks — a resource called Materials. With Materials you can define the graphical attributes and data of building materials all in one location, including the 2D and 3D representation in plan and section views. Materials can also define construction properties, product data, and physical characteristics, providing a single source for structural, energy, and classification information. Materials can also be applied to complex, multi-component objects such as walls or floor systems, as well as to 3D-modeled objects. Like all BIM elements in Vectorworks, when a change is made to a material, any object to which the material is applied will be updated, letting you accurately report materials for your architecture and landscape architecture projects.
Grade Object Improvements
Grade objects have been an immense help to site designers who rely on slope-oriented or point-to-point grading. In version 2021, we’ve improved site modeling to better support your iterative design process by networking grade objects and automating changes made to networks. Changes made in one part of a network will be reflected in the rest of the grade. Or changes can be made to the network itself, giving you greater control in change management.
Landscape Area Improvements
The Landscape Area enhancements extend the virtual replication of softscapes and planted landforms as no other landscape or BIM software can. Landscape areas can now be defined with components and our new Materials resource. These landscape areas can also be saved as a style and can be used to simplify the management of objects when changes occur, making features like green roofs, planted mounds, and rain gardens easier to design and more accurate to report.
3D Modeling Enhancements
The updates to Vectorworks’ 3D modeling can’t be beat. Improvements to the Push/Pull tool now support additional drawing tools like the Line tool, which creates a streamlined method to split the face of a solid and manipulate the geometry. Other modeling enhancements include simplification of editing solids created with fillet, chamfer, shell solid, and more. Rather than navigating through layers of history, you can simply highlight a face or edge for direct editing and speed through your 3D modeling process.
Project Sharing Server
Vectorworks’ versatile multi-user environment, Project Sharing, can now be accessed through a unique Project Sharing server. Easy to install and use, the Project Sharing server will help support a greater array of server configurations, creating an uninterrupted collaborative environment.
Railings and Fences
With improvements to the Railing/Fence tool in Vectorworks 2021, the design and layout of these 3D objects are both powerful and flexible. 3D modification points on the railing or fence have been added, so you can move different parts of the object directly in the model. With a click of the mouse, the new Connect mode automatically joins single railings and fences, simplifying how you work on joining sloped portions with horizontal sections of other railings and fences, ultimately improving project details.
ConnectCAD Device Placement
Signal flow diagrams can be complex and require multiple devices in a connected system. In ConnectCAD 2021, our Device tool provides you with a new Linear Array mode, letting you quickly lay out multiple numbered devices in just a few clicks.
Detachable Tab Palettes
We’ve added improved usability to the Object Information, Navigation (Design Series only), and Visualization Palettes to handle your increasingly complex model and documentation work. You now have the ability to detach the tabs from palettes and either dock them or let them float. Move them to a second monitor to have a clear field for modeling while still keeping them readily accessible.
Audio Tool Improvements
The Speaker and Speaker Array tools now work with Vectorworks Symbols, giving you access to a wide range of content and the ability to create a more realistic looking model. For convenience, the active speaker configuration can be selected from the tool mode bar, making quick work of your audio layouts and easier management of your symbol library.
ConnectCAD Workflow Improvements
Manually searching through a series of PDFs to locate the “other end” of arrow circuits can be time consuming and frustrating. Thanks to smart linking in version 2021, ConnectCAD now has hyperlinked arrow connections that allow for fast navigation between views of schematic layouts both in Vectorworks and in published PDFs you share. Plus, the ConnectCAD device builder window has been simplified, helping you to create, search for, locate, and use the device types you need for your schematic diagrams.
Duplicate Array and Move by Points
The Duplicate Array tool has been enhanced to work in a 3D view, making it easier to use. The modes available with the Move by Points tool have also been updated to allow a live preview of your operation when using the tool. This enhancement stays true to Vectorworks’ direct modeling environment, giving you real-time feedback as you design.
