BIM and CAD package popular with architects who also do landscape, lighting and stage design.
Why we recommend it
Vectorworks is the most flexible of the major BIM tools — it handles freeform geometry far better than Revit, which suits practices doing conceptual or non-orthogonal work.
Strengths
- Handles freeform and organic geometry well
- One tool across architecture, landscape and entertainment
- Perpetual licence still offered
Keep in mind
- Smaller consultant ecosystem than Revit
- File exchange with Revit teams needs care
