Costing the Proposed Building. You can use the worksheet to cost the proposed development. If you want to do this, add extra columns to the worksheet when you create it.

Creating Massing Models. When you have the plan information you need, to make sure the project can proceed, you can look at the how the project will look in 3D, and you can use this to create solar studies.
VectorWorks offers the possibility of creating spreadsheets within the drawing. That means you can count things, create databases, extract information from objects and do mathematical operations and functions without having to leave VectorWorks.
Vectorworks comes with several irrigation tools. There is a tool for placing irrigation pipework, and there are two tools for placing sprinklers and drip emitters. When the pipework and emitters are placed, you can create a schedule of the parts.
