What's new in Vectorworks 2025 Update 2
This release continues our promise of delivering meaningful updates to your design and BIM software on a consistent basis, helping you stay ahead of industry demands. Here’s what you can expect:

For All Industries

Enhanced AI Visualizer: Get creative with more flexibility in creating unique, seamless patterns and textures right within Vectorworks. The AI Visualizer now also allows you to produce images with alpha channels, making it easier to incorporate transparent backgrounds within image props such as plants and trees for layered renderings. Additionally, text prompt recall is now available, making it easier to create consistent visuals across projects.
Renderworks and Redshift Performance Boost on Vectorworks Cloud Services: Processing large, complex geometry is now more efficient with improved support for Renderworks and Redshift render settings on the Vectorworks Cloud. Offloading these tasks to the Cloud frees up your hardware for a smoother, uninterrupted design experience.
Data Tags in Clip Cube Viewports: Gain better control and precision in documentation with updates to Data Tag functionality, which now considers Clip Cube views. This improvement ensures that only objects within the Clip Cube are tagged, delivering reliable results.

For the Architecture Industry

Roof Face Component Tagging: For architectural projects, Data Tags now extend to roof face components in Top/Plan views, enabling more precise documentation and better alignment with project standards.
