Global design and BIM software provider Vectorworks, Inc. announced a major upgrade to its educational licensing program to include all capabilities of Vectorworks Cloud Services, such as game-changing tools like the AI Visualizer and the ability to generate 3D models from iOS photos. In addition, educational licenses now come with access to premium training content on Vectorworks University.

Cloud-based collaboration just got better with room scanning, real-time markups, and interactive presentations only a tap away. Need heavy rendering power? The Cloud can do the heavy lifting, freeing up hardware for other creative tasks. And with the AI Visualizer, students can instantly generate design imagery from their Vectorworks models or drawings or even just a text prompt, bringing design ideas to life faster than ever before. Those looking for more information on the AI Visualizer can find an overview here and an FAQs page in the Vectorworks Community Forum.

“Enhancing educational licenses underscores our commitment to providing students and educators with access to professional-grade Vectorworks software,” said Tyler French, academic marketing manager at Vectorworks. “Vectorworks Cloud Services is an essential tool in today’s digital design landscape, and we’re thrilled to make its full functionality available to the academic community.”
