Before shortlisting, verify that your firm's existing plugins and custom scripts will import cleanly—Vectorworks uses its own object model, and third-party integrations sometimes require rework after major version updates.

"Powerful software with great potential that still struggles with bugs and its own legacy"
What do you like best? Extremely capable 3D modeling that's very well integrated with equally capable, very graphically rich 2D drafting, along with powerful, built-in, rendering capabilities.

"More productive than you ever imagined"
What do you like best about Vectorworks Architect? What I like best is being able to be a lot more productive than anyone I know that uses 2D and especially folks still using AutoCAD. I can't imagine doing tons of work on models in SketchUp only to have to butcher them to insert a bunch of lines into AutoCAD or similar 2D applications. And then when changes to the wok happen (and a LOT of them ALWAYS happen) you have to go back and redo the model AND the CAD drawings separately??? NO THANKS...
