Global design and BIM software provider Vectorworks, Inc. announces the third update to its Vectorworks 2024 product line, which is now available. In addition to performance improvements that elevate the overall quality of the software, the update also debuts a new integration with the online plant database and Vectorworks Partner Network member PlantMaster.

For All Designers

This latest update aims to continue to provide designers with a superior workflow. It brings in several critical improvements that empower customers to achieve faster and more efficient processes, making their work more accessible and productive. Support for dimension-type data fields in the Titleblock border gives customers greater flexibility in reporting project information in the Titleblock. Plus, adding Import/Export support for Revit 2024 files improves the file exchange process with collaborators using the most current version of Revit.

For Lighting and Live Event Designers

Update 3 further enhances entertainment professionals' workflows, creating a more seamless customer experience. Significant developments to the My Virtual Rig (MVR) import and export function deliver better support for Project Sharing, Gobo images, Seating Sections, and other data such as shutter information, colour name and fixture position, so customers can easily exchange higher-quality files. The General Device Type Format(GDTF) import function has also undergone advancements, allowing easier access to fixtures and their data. 

With the new update, Braceworks® customers can expect improvements in generating their reports. Braceworks reports are now even more consistent and readable with a higher visual quality. Furthermore, entertainment professionals will find a performance boost when working with truss objects. Inserting truss objects in files with multiple light objects and other complex geometry is faster and provides a much smoother modelling experience.

This update is available to download for all currently released English-based versions of Vectorworks 2024. To install the update, select “Check for Updates” from the Vectorworks menu (Mac) or the Help menu (Windows).
