The new multiview function works hand in hand with direct section and elevation editing to improve the control, review and adjustment of project designs.
With the new multiple drawing views feature, users can access a range of different views for a single project simultaneously, enhancing their ability to assess the broader impact of design changes.
The function lets users set up multiple viewing panes from a range of perspectives, so that they can instantly determine how a single design adjustment will affect the 3D, elevation, plan and section views.
Users can also work within different panes simultaneously, launching a rendering in one view, for example, while also making adjustments in another.
According to C. Andrew Dunning, owner of Nashville-based Landru Design, the multiview function of Vectorworks 2018 will prove to be an invaluable asset for…
