Vectorworks

As a core 2D & 3D CAD programme VectorWorks is the drawing worktool that ‘does it all’ from concept to detail design which combined with RenderWorks offers unparalleled presentational options for the creative designer. It is easy to learn & use, easily exports/imports DWG files in any format and allows smooth integration with other specialist programmes such as SketchUp, Art•lantis, Cinema 4D & Piranesi.

The basic version is Fundamentals from which specific versions of the software have been developed to suit different design disciplines – Architecture & Interior Design, Landscape, Theatre & Product Design. It is a world class leader in several of them.

BIM & VectorWorks

VectorWorks ARCHITECT provides Building Information Modeling (BIM) capabilities that offer a true increase in productivity. With BIM, your 2D drawings, 3D drawings, and project data are linked into a simple, yet flexible design environment. Changes made in one view are updated in all others.

Unlike other BIM programmes, VectorWorks Architect does not limit you to a confined workflow - you are not restricted to a 3D environment as you can still work easily in 2D and then design in 3D with free-form surface and solids modeling tools, or merge 2D/3D in VectorWorks hybrid design environment. In VectorWorks the use of BIM as a beneficial production tools is easier to integrate into your existing office standards.

RenderWorks
For dynamic presentations you’ll need to incorporate the RenderWorks option which seamlessly integrates into all VectorWorks solutions to provide sophisticated photorealistic, hand-rendered or other effects. Whatever style you want you can create stunning presentational material to help you sell your designs.

Change your CAD programme?
As technical advances in architectural software arrive it is beneficial for design organisations of all disciplines to re-evaluate the efficiency of their current CAD platforms and assess their efficiency.
We provide specialist training programmes for those who wish to migrate to VectorWorks from Autocad or similar applications which are more complicated to use.

If at a later stage you require further developed rendering & animation techniques Vectorworks fully integrates with Art•lantis R & Art•lantis Studio.
Google SketchUp Pro
The simplest tool for creating and communicating in 3D design. Developed for the conceptual stages of design, this powerful program allows for quick and easy 3D form creation - allough not a true 3D CAD programme it is sophisticated enough for complex projects yet also accessible for beginners. It is an indispensible design tool, which is fun to use, and working creatively within its simple interface can produce stunning presentational results. Along the workflow it also integrates seamlessly with Vectorworks & Piranesi.

Art•lantis
To develop your presentations further Art•lantis provides fast, precise and flexible ‘fine-tuning’ of any 3D scene results in images and animations of incredible realism and atmosphere. Textures, surface patterns, integration of multiple light sources, global illumination, soft shadows, parallel views' together with its unprecedented level of speed and performance.  Includes Site Insertion, Parallel Views, Billboards and more.
Art•lantis R offers High Resolution Rendering with a Fast Radiosity engine which lets you compute images in radiosity, even in preview. It works with ‘drag and drop’ 3D objects including vegetation. It has total DXF, DWG & 3DS compatibility, plus allows perspective and projected views.

Piranesi
Piranesi is a specialised '3D painting' tool allowing you to take the images rendered in SketchUp, Vectorworks & Art•lantis and quickly develop them into high quality photorealistic images, by painting in textures and scenery with automatic perspective and masking; or use Piranesi's wealth of effects to generate non-photorealistic images that have a more subtle, hand-rendered feel.

You can even use Piranesi with a 2D plan or elevation image, or to generate Panoramas to give your client presentations a more dynamic look.
