Vectorworks Nomad Reviews

by MikeChalleen

I’ve been trying to utilize the AR feature that was recently hyped in an article linked from a recent email from Vectorworks. I have the latest iPad Pro running the latest version of iOS. I’ve tried several times, utilizing the Woodward Exhibit file found in the Vectorworks Samples folder within Cloud Services. My iPad locks up every time I try and view the AR file in my real-life scene.

Integration into synology DS would be a must.

Claims to integrate with Dropbox? Really? Can't seem to go more than 2 folders deep into Dropbox. Too slow to be useful.

This would be useful if clients and others could view our vectorworks drawings.
As it is, only "vectorworks select service users" can use VectorworksNomad .

I am very sad that there is no support for educational users with this. I do realize that for educational purposes VW is inexpensive, or free, but in my academic shop I was eagerly awaiting an app for when I don't want to haul my laptop, or drawings around to the theatres. This is especially troubling since the educational license locks out students after graduating. This just screws the faculty working on educational projects.

I've been waiting for Nemetschek to release an iOS viewing app for several years, it seemed like a no-brainer. It's very sad that I can't get any functionality without a subscription. I am confident that should I ever get a subscription, VectorworksNomad would be lovely. However this strategy seems to be turning away new users not inviting them in the way the competition has chosen. For now I will keep saving PDFs to Dropbox for my iOS viewing needs.
As a loyal user of more than a decade, it's getting harder and harder to be a vocal disciple of Vectorworks.
As a side note it's quite frustrating to realize that Nemetschek allows for distributed computing if you want to pay them, but I can't have my own render farm. Again, I know a certain competitor that would allow me to utilize my idle 60 cores and hundred+ gigabytes of RAM.

Can't create a user name

Had such high hopes for this. All I want is a mobile viewer of a 2D VWX plan and VectorworksNomad can’t even do that.

Crashes when trying to open any file.

Please make an app that works.

The concept is great. I love the idea. It just doesn’t work 1 bit. Crashes when ever you try to open a file. Total waste.

I downloaded this to view VW files on the phone without asking for a PDF. VectorworksNomad can’t even do that. It keeps crashing before opening the file so I can’t view anything.

by Pacobriente

Pay this company thousands for their software, just want to be able to view a file on my phone. A serious pain to work with. Save yourself the trouble—avoid!

Unusable. It crashes on opening a file

The best thing that Vectorworks cloud provides is the ability to offload sheet generation and VP renderings to the cloud. This is good step in the right direction. Only problem is you have to be on subscription- not unlike what autodesk provides.

Must have app and service for Vectorworks Users.

Great and easy to use!

I use VectorworksNomad to measure the projects before renewing. With the cloud service is so easy to measure and start working right away. Thanks Vectorworks!!!
