Planet Vectorworks

With summer vacation wrapping up and in-person instruction from schools around the world set to commence once again, students with varying types of experience can acquire knowledge through Vectorworks software.

Each year, we offer the Vectorworks Design Scholarship to undergraduate and graduate students in major disciplines related to architecture, landscape architecture, entertainment, and interior design. This scholarship is a unique opportunity for students to take the next step in their journey of professional development.

Vectorworks University, the premier learning platform for designers at any skill level, just got better. We are committed to excellence with our software and are extending that same commitment to our software education. The new features and performance improvements are all about providing you with more skills.

It must be daunting to design a school. Think about it: many will treat your project as a second home — at such a young age, their environment is bound to shape them. For the rest of their lives.

Vectorworks loves supporting student designers. Our Design Scholarship does just that — it’s a chance for students to win a substantial cash prize along with recognition in the realm of design.

At 20 years old, Ohio native Jacob VanVlymen has found himself on the production design team at the largest megachurch in the Las Vegas area. Every Sunday morning, thousands gather at Central Church to attend services with a production quality you would expect when considering its Las Vegas locale. 

For the second year, we are celebrating the next generation of designers through our partnership with the American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS). Together, we are sponsoring the second annual AIAS In Studio Render/Sketch Competition.

Understanding how to balance time and quality in your rendering workflow is a key to success. This training series will help you understand how to save on time while still producing high-quality renderings by investigating the full capabilities of Renderworks software.
