These views are automatically updated when you change the master drawing. Each view has an independent scale, orientation, rendering, layer, and class visibility setting. VectorWorks’ most significant improvement is the new Viewports, a page-layout feature that lets you set up sheets that show multiple views of the same model or drawing. Until now, only Graphisoft’s ArchiCAD, a high-end CAD program, had this feature. You can distribute the VR files via e-mail or Web sites they’re viewable with QuickTime on both Mac and Windows machines. QuickTime VR objects allow you to grab an object on the screen and spin it around to get multiple viewing angles.
QuickTime VR panoramas allow you to view your model from a single point and rotate 360 degrees. VectorWorks 11 includes an easy-to-use, built-in QuickTime VR generation tool for both panoramas and objects.
The best new presentation addition to VectorWorks, however, is QuickTime VR. You can simply drag and drop textures onto your 3-D model and then position, resize, and rotate them in real time without having to search for a specific dialog box. VectorWorks 11 also comes with hundreds of new textures, including wood, stone, metals, fabrics, and an extensive collection of linoleum floor and wall coverings.
