Pros

“As an analogy, it’s like using Studio Designer (1,000 different menus), when what we really want and need is a streamlined experience like Programa.”

Krista F.

Interior Designer

“Vector works takes my plans to the next level, giving our drawings an air of professionalism our clients are looking for.”

Craig B.

Managing director

“Complete solution to develop architectural designs from the first sketches, with complete ease of 3D control of volumetry and shapes, perfect integration of 2D drawing and the generation of construction documents, as well as the possibility of generating complete reports for a good constructive process.”

Erwin G.

COO

Cons

“Too bad that some funktions delete your progress when pressing ESC and yes there is no indication - which makes it impossible figure out if it's caused by a bug or not.”

Marcel P.

Bachelor of Architecture

“User expierience got a litte bit better when it comes to the main Interface, but the underlying lack of struckture with the tools combined with the bugs make it still a pain to use.”

Marcel P.

Bachelor of Architecture

“The possibility of generating optimal quality renders on the MAC OS platform is almost impossible.”

COO
