mojado Posted December 9, 2024 Report Share Posted December 9, 2024 Vectorworks 2024 SP4 v29.0.4 Vectorworks brings big updates that will accelerate your BIM workflows without getting bogged down by technology. You'll find core architectural objects have been re-engineered and modernized, and a better use of data and resources for more precise BIM models and documentation. At this point, you’ve seen us tease features surrounding user experience, BIM, BIM for landscape, entertainment, and interoperability. You’ve also seen videos of members of the Vectorworks team discussing the major highlights, which you can watch again by navigating to the blogs linked in this paragraph. The newest version of the design and BIM software brings game-changing upgrades centered around the theme of workflow acceleration. The new features and updates will streamline your process and give you more time to design. Vectorworks always does a pretty good job of improving functionality across a decent spread, typically in rendering, landscaping/GIS, BIM and drawing. Vectorworks offers a solid upgrade in terms of features and functions, and the development team has been very quick off the mark to incorporate Apple’s exciting scanning technology, included in its high-end phones and tablets kitted out with a low-density Lidar. When combined with Apple’s AR Toolkit and photogrammetry, it seems that a whole new breed of mobile applications is set to revolutionise data capture on commonly available devices. For example, it’s now possible to scan an interior, with Apple’s technology identifying walls, doors, windows, and some furniture, and put this data straight into a BIM tool. Typical Lidar data can be messy and is essentially dumb, but Apple’s AR toolkit does a much more robust conversion of surfaces into objects. I am sure customers will have hours of fun with this technology and it should impress their clients, as it’s all a bit like magic. As for the business model change to subscription-only, there is now a sense of inevitability. The whole software industry may soon be moving in this direction. But customers lose their bargaining power in subscription models, as they are shifted away from deciding for themselves if and when they want to upgrade. In the past, such steps were typically taken only if the customer considered a new version was worthy of its cash and if it was happy to increase its overall annual tools budget. The advantage to the software vendor, however, is clear for all to see. With mature products, lower development velocity has tended to mean fewer game changing updates and more refinements. Less revolution, more evolution. Vectorworks isn’t a development laggard, but it’s going to have to work hard to appease aggrieved customers. That said, in the market for BIM tools, its subscription prices are still lower than those of its competitors.
