Meet our CAD expert

My interests lie in the development of Computer Aided Design which over the years has rapidly expanded into all sorts of industries. Building Information Modelling (BIM) as well as 3D packages have arrived and are making the industry change. For me it's about making a client more competitive in the current climate, enabling them to be more profitable. My role is to provide you with the tools you need and help implement these into your office.

Vectorworks (originally MiniCAD) has been around for a long time and has established itself as the CAD program which offers the ideal flexibility you want as a designer.  This is a breakthrough new version, packed with more features than ever, like our powerful new CINEMA 4D rendering engine and easy-to-use 3D environment. With each of the applications in the Vectorworks® 2011 series, you’ll get versatile, intuitive features—all packaged in a user-friendly interface, making your work easier than ever. 

With Vectorworks you’ll get robust new capabilities that are simple to implement and make your models highly accurate and ready to use in your BIM workflow. Not only did Nemetschek address requests from their users, they have gone far beyond that, with new features and tools to make this the best Vectorworks release ever!!! With all these new features for each design element you’d have to be an idiot not to consider using this in practice.

Accelerate Your Designs

Increase your efficiency. Up your productivity. Go where you want to go. With new technology in the Vectorworks Architect 2012 software, you can create whatever you dream up—with even greater efficiency and increased productivity. Our flexible, intuitive, and smart features continue to give Vectorworks Architect software the edge in 3D modelling, BIM, and integrated rendering. You get better collaboration, usability, and efficiency. So where would you like to take your work? Where will it take you? Start here. Accelerate your designs in 2012.
 
With the Vectorworks program, you’re not limited to a prescribed workflow, so you have the freedom to design in your own way. Incorporate your existing approach to design to make the best use of the skills you already have in-house. Collaborate seamlessly with co-workers and colleagues who use other software applications. Here are some of the compelling reasons to purchase or upgrade:
• Use a quick sketch or a simple diagram when that’s all you need.
• Put together winning 2D/3D presentations 
• Turn your project team loose with the outstanding
production tools of the Vectorworks software.
• Incorporate BIM technology when it’s right for the client and project without turning the firm upside down.

Google Friendly

Import concept models from SketchUp® and access thousands of models from Google’s 3D Warehouse. Export 3D models to Google Earth®.

Cutting Edge 3D

See it in 3D. Send models to CAD/CAM machines, CNC routers, and other 3D printers. The Vectorworks Architect package supports a number of standard 3D file formats, including Parasolid X_T, IGES, SAT, KML, STL, and 3DS.

Building Information Modelling (BIM)

With Vectorworks Architect software, you can create building information models without changing your preferred design process. Whether you’re looking to streamline costs, analyse materials, increase your energy efficiency, or just create world- class designs, the Vectorworks Architect solution is an efficient way to introduce BIM capabilities into your workflow. Enjoy the robust and flexible capabilities of BIM with the ease of design, great documentation, and intelligent tools that the software is known for—right from the start.
With the unsurpassed Parasolid® modelling kernel from Siemens PLM Software, the Vectorworks Architect program has mastered BIM with design and presentation capabilities and arguably the best 3D modelling core in the business. You can create almost any shape imaginable and maintain a parametric model with the Dimensional Constraint Manager functionality. Everything is associated, so all geometry links to dimensions and vice versa. With the click of a mouse, all views are updated...all at once! 

Affordable

You won’t find another professional design application that includes so much for such a reasonable price. In one package, you get state-of-the-art tools and technology and the ability to work from conception to completion—a great value. You also get free software updates and affordable upgrades. With free technical support and affordable training options, you get value far beyond your initial savings. We never force subscriptions, so you’re free to upgrade when and how you choose. As your business grows, we add extra seats at a discounted price. We offer exceptional value and no hidden fees.
