This newest release comes up with over 100 major updates and advanced features to the Vectorworks Graphics Module (VGM). The improvements range from speedy wireframe rendering and planar graphics formation, trouble free animations of model view changes, scope for placing 3d render mode and projection preferences, superior render output and effective import of meshes.

Besides, the following significant enhancements also happen with modeling and rendering:-

• The wall tool can be used to generate curtain walls and storefronts. The direct editing as well as grabbing, moving, reshaping, and aligning all characteristics of curtain walls are performed with edit curtain wall tool.
