Global design and BIM software provider Vectorworks, Inc. has released key updates to the Vectorworks 2023 product line focused on providing users with a more efficient and reliable experience on Vectorworks 
Cloud Services and the Vectorworks Nomad mobile app utilizing Apple’s innovative technology.
The existing Photos to 3D Model feature in Vectorworks Cloud Services has been upgraded to take advantage of Apple’s new photogrammetry API on macOS, known as Object Capture. Job submissions now incorporate this framework on the Cloud infrastructure, desktop app, web portal and Nomad mobile app.
In addition, using Apple’s room scanning framework, RoomPlan, the Nomad mobile app can now produce models with classified geometry, such as walls, windows, openings and doors, which can be imported directly into a Vectorworks model. Users can quickly scan an existing room layout using their iOS mobile device to create a reality capture that is accessible and easy to use.
Building on modern technology gives Vectorworks the ability to continuously provide further updates to the Nomad mobile app. This latest update gives users more control over light representation in their 3D models. The new Lights panel in the 3D model viewer allows for light object visibility control from the viewer, which aids in design presentation. Individual light objects exported from .vwx files can be turned on and off, and heliodon or directional lights can now also set the position of the Light direction control when opening a model in the Unity-based 3D viewer.
Users can try out the latest Vectorworks Cloud Services features by logging into www.cloud.vectorworks.net . To access the new features in the Vectorworks Nomad mobile app, download the latest version from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
