Vectorworks Viewer

Vectorworks Viewer is a handy app that lets you check out all kinds of design projects in high quality 2D, 3D, and BIM formats. It’s part of the Vectorworks suite, which has different modules to help you design everything from buildings to beautiful landscapes and even lighting setups for shows.

What Can You Do with Vectorworks Viewer?

This viewer app is great because it lets you see your designs without needing the full CAD editor installed. So, if you're trying to share ideas with your coworkers or clients who don't have Vectorworks, this tool makes it super easy!

How to Get Started with Vectorworks Viewer

The best part? The Vectorworks Viewer is completely free! Once you download it, just unzip the package and run the built-in installer. It will set itself up in a folder under Applications along with some extra plugins.

Open Your Projects Easily

You can use Vectorworks Viewer to open projects made with various versions of the software, from Vectorworks 9 all the way up to Vectorworks 2015. Just use the Open menu or drag your project file onto the Dock icon for quick access!

Navigating Your Designs

Once you're inside the main window of Vectorworks Viewer, you'll be able to visualize and navigate through your VWX files easily. While you can't edit them directly, moving objects around is still an option.

Explore Every Detail

You can switch between 2D and 3D views, change your perspective, and select different layers as needed. Plus, this viewer lets you dig into details about any object in your project—things like shape, thickness, material, and position are all right at your fingertips!
