AnimationWorks
AnimationWorks is an add-on for Vectorworks 2017 to 2019, that allows the creation of complex camera or object animations entirely within Vectorworks. These can be saved as QuickTime movies and then be viewed in any supported media player.
AnimationWorks is included with all Australian licenses of Vectorworks Architect, Landmark, Spotlight, and Designer, but can be purchased by anyone outside Australia using the ordering options below.
