Features & Capabilities

The Vectorworks® Nomad app allows you to access your Vectorworks documents wherever you are—whenever you need them—with your mobile device. It gives you more freedom not only to share files, but also to make design decisions from any location. Changes you make to Vectorworks files are automatically synchronized to your private cloud library, allowing you to browse and share your latest designs from any web-enabled device.

Vectorworks Cloud Services saves time by freeing up local computing power. Use cloud technology to automate and decouple resource-heavy workflows, shifting calculations needed to generate sections, elevations, renderings, and BIM data to the cloud.

Whether you're in a meeting, on the job site, or on vacation, the Vectorworks Nomad app allows you to view, mark up, share, and synchronize your Vectorworks files across your devices and with your colleagues—all from the convenience of your mobile device.

• View and navigate 3D models of Vectorworks files in the cloud library • View 3D models of Vectorworks files in a real-world setting, using augmented reality (AR) technology (requires an AR-compatible device) • View rendered panoramic images or animation movies of Vectorworks files • Extend your cloud library through integration with third-party cloud storage providers • Share files with clients or collaborators • Mark up PDF files with Text, Freehand, Oval, Rectangle, and Line tools and save the marked up files to the cloud library

The Vectorworks Nomad app is a part of Vectorworks Cloud Services, and is available to anyone who registers for a free account, as well as all Vectorworks Service Select members. Guest access is available for viewing shared files without creating an account.

Vectorworks Service Select members have access to additional features, such as: • Increased storage capacity • Manual or scheduled Sheet layer to PDF cloud processing • Cloud processing options in Vectorworks • Ability to measure objects in the PDF drawings generated on the cloud • And more ... Operating Prerequisites • Vectorworks files uploaded to your Vectorworks Cloud Services storage library, or to an integrated third-party cloud storage provider

User Reviews

Top positives: on-site capture/scan tools (photos to 3D, Room Plan), quick client-facing visuals, iOS model viewing with fly-throughs, and cloud-based measurement workflow. Top negatives: frequent crashes/open failures for .vwx files, sign-in issues, subscription gating limiting access, unreliable cloud drive integration, and unstable AR features. The app shows promise but reliability and access barriers hinder adoption.

Pros

On-site capture/scan tools (photos to 3D, Room Plan) for capturing existing conditions
Useful for on-site client discussions and quick project visuals
Ability to view and navigate Vectorworks models on iOS with smooth fly-throughs
Cloud-based measurement workflow enabling quick start and streamlined processes

Cons

Frequent crashes and inability to open Vectorworks (.vwx) files; app often crashes on launch/open
Sign-in/login issues; sign-in button does nothing
Subscription gating that blocks viewing/sharing for non-subscribers
Unreliable cloud drive integration (Dropbox connectivity issues, limited folder access)
Unstable AR features that crash or misbehave

Like the title says. None of the buttons that would start that process work. Can only use demo mode.

The sign in button does nothing. I tried multiple different ways, tried reinstalling the app. It just wouldn’t let me sign in 🤷

This app has changed significantly over the past view years. While I still can’t open a VWX file, I can do a number of things related to capturing existing conditions while on site. There are so many options including photos to 3D and Room Plan. And let’s be real, why would I open a full Vectorworks file on my phone or iPad mini? I don’t need all that. While I haven’t had a use of the 3D viewer just yet, I can myself pulling this up to have a quick conversation with a client when at a lunch meeting. I’m waiting for support of review/markups that I can send back to Vectorworks much like what I can do on the cloud web portal. That will make this app even more useful.
