Keith,

I use Vectorworks’ 3d tools and rendering engine all the time in my scenic design work. I upgraded to 2010 (from 2008) primarily for the LW5 and Vectorworks integration, but the updates to the 3d tools are a great benefit.

Most useful for me have been improvements in the management of working planes when drawing in 3d and the new (apparently as of 2009) unified 2d/3d environment. The improvements have saved me a lot of time and frustration.

I can’t speak to your needs directly, but for me the upgrade to 2010 was a great investment.

That is a difficult question to answer. I don’t really use much of the 3D functionality so I could not give you an honest assessment there. A lot has to do with your economic situation (or need for a hefty tax write off). My understanding through he grapevine is that the 2010/LW5 combo is superb, but I have yet to upgrade the latter software so I can not fully report there.

I have heard some rumors from GrandMA associates that VW might be implemented with GrandMA 3D. That would make a fantastic tool for us doing both LD and programming.

Thanks for the review. I started using VW at Version 9 and am currently using VW 2008, is 2010 worth the upgrade. Any notable improvements in 3D Tools and Rendering Engine?

Thanks,
