Vectorworks plugin will there ever be such an option?

Workflow

Hi Oliver, I would switch to D5 exclusively. My workflow timelines don’t allow for setting up drawings in multiple renderers. From what I’ve seen in version 2.4 the real time quality of D5 has greatly improved over last versions and is probably of high enough quality for real time presentations. It would be great if that could be improved on as well in future versions. Also maybe a dedicated window for presentations.

My main requirements are quick iterations while designing and seeing those updates in real time, along with high quality final renders and animations.

Enscape currently does most of this for me but I feel that the final quality is lacking. Also the speed at which they are updating their software is quite slow. They haven’t been listening to user requests for new features.

I use Lumion. it works great but you need to pauze it if you make multiple changes in Vectorworks and unpauze it after the changes, if you dont you have a change that Lumion will crash.

It does however help out a ton and if the livesync would be like sketchup it would actually be better then Lumions livesync

Hi Oliver, What an amazing news!
I am using Twinmotion and have had no problems so far. I will also exclusively switch to D5.

Hi, any updates on this?

Hi mate, I have shared your suggestions with workflow team, and please wait for our updates. ( the development work may take about half a year, and it has not started yet)

Hi,
We are currently also working with Vectorworks in combination with Lumion and Enscape.

Should there be a direct interface, we would also like to switch immediately. Otherwise, it’s really a great development that is being done here!

Hi, to be honest, the development process is slow, sorry for that. I will tell you if there is any update about the Vectorworks plugin.

26

any new news on the vectoworks livesync drop?

I can tell that we from designexpress (distributor for vectorworks) are in contact with D5 so hopefully things can speed up.

Got this answer from the D5 team unfortunately;

I confirmed with the team that it’s not available in the short term, but other file formats will be supported for import in the future.

Thank you for contacting us recently.
I got the latest news that the Vectorworks Sync plugin has been scheduled for this year’s development programme, so let’s look forward to it. :heart_hands: Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Great news! … I want to tell some facts about Vectorworks, this software is widely used in Europe especially in Germany, if you have experience in all softwares and you don’t know Vectorworks then your CV will be rejected in Germany with no doubt, it’s used also in USA as it is a U.S.-based software development company, Enscape is widely used in Germany right now because it’s fully compatible with Vectorworks, so you can feel from these information the number of customers you are losing not implementing the Vectorworks plugin till now.

Same goes for the landscaping industry in the BENELUX, almost every firm uses VW and they’re using Lumion and Enscape since they do have a direct link to VW. Most of them would switch to D5 in a heartbeat if they knew about D5 (because of its nature assets) and if there would be a way to link it.
