Nemetschek Vectorworks, Inc. announced the availability of the 2012 version of its Vectorworks line of design software, including: Vectorworks Designer, Architect, Landmark, Spotlight, Fundamentals and Renderworks. Upgrades include enhancements related to 3D modeling, BIM, GIS and rendering. Vectorworks 2012 software is also compatible with OS X Lion.
The 3D modeling enhancements include the software’s ability to now examine the model under the cursor and set the working plane automatically, removing the general need for users to manually set working planes. The Vectorworks 2012 Spotlight application also features a more intuitive way to focus instruments, as well as a new soft goods object that enables the creation of curtain, border and pipe-and-drape assemblies.
Other enhancements reflect user requests, including a new 2D X-ray fills mode, faster viewport navigation, new custom color options for backgrounds, faster access to frequently used settings, coincident selection, streamlined polyline arc editing, offset improvements, improved wheel zooming and others. This version also offers designers the ability to generate hidden lines between intersecting geometry and, in the Design Series products, to modify objects by record value.
