Vectorworks set to reveal Vectorworks 2026 software version

Global design and BIM software provider Vectorworks is set to launch its latest software version.

Vectorworks 2026 delivers automation, customizable features and real-time sustainability intelligence for landscape designers.

"At Vectorworks, we believe that creativity should drive business results, not be hindered by software limitations," says Vectorworks CEO Jason Pletcher. "Designers are ambitious, and Vectorworks 2026 offers the tools to transform their big ideas into reality. Our latest version allows designers to work more efficiently, break free from busywork, automate manual processes, and unleash their design freedom, so their best work can move forward."

This release enables designers to streamline documentation, collaborate across disciplines and meet environmental targets — all within a single, integrated platform.

Automated Depth Cueing of linework for elevations, sections, and 3D views enhances the legibility of drawings by manipulating how objects appear based on how far away they are. Additionally, a new intuitive Worksheet interface that allows slicing and linking will provide speedier, complete page layout control of large reports.

Vectorworks Cloud Services also now integrates with the Vectorworks desktop application, providing a direct connection to the Vectorworks Cloud computing platform. Plus, Vectorworks 2026 introduces the File Health Checker palette, available exclusively to subscription customers. Additionally, subscription customers will benefit from uninterrupted productivity thanks to Vectorworks Cloud processing for Revit imports. The Cloud manages large Revit file imports from consultants and collaborators in the background, allowing projects to progress smoothly and efficiently.

“Vectorworks 2026 brings thoughtfully refined solutions across all our industry sectors, streamlining routine tasks and allowing your focus to remain on realizing your creative vision,” says Vectorworks vice president of product development Hugues Tsafak. “With enhanced automation and intelligent design documentation capabilities, Vectorworks 2026 helps you work smarter, faster, and with greater confidence—enabling you to deliver outstanding results every time."

The new Sustainability Dashboard combines several sustainability-focused tools into a centralized, easy-to-access dashboard with real-time monitoring, tracking, and reporting of a project’s compliance targets, including Embodied Carbon calculations, Biodiversity Net Gain, Urban Greening, and SITES Biomass metrics.

Additionally, improvements to the Massing Model tool allow for the planning of mixed-use buildings with custom floor heights and usage data during early-stage planning for even greater flexibility.
