Nemetschek North America Unveils VectorWorks 3D Power Pack

New modeling extension offers powerful 3D capabilities to all VectorWorks products

Columbia, Maryland (April 8, 2002)- Nemetschek North America today announced the release of a new advanced modeling extension, VectorWorks 3D Power Pack. 3D Power Pack seamlessly plugs into all VectorWorks 9.5.1 products and offers designers advanced solid and surface modeling technology. Now, users can easily visualize and conceptualize 3D forms that were previously impossible to create in VectorWorks. Plus, with breakthrough non-manifold modeling technology from an independent modeling kernel, users get advanced 3D capabilities that can't be found in modeling programs like Form Z.

3D Power Pack is being offered free with any VectorWorks 9.5.1 purchase, update, or upgrade. Existing users can download the 3D Power Pack at no charge at www.3DPowerPack.com, or request a copy on CD for a nominal fee.

Dan Monaghan, Marketing Director, Nemetschek North America, says, "We think the advantages to our end users will be enormous and we hope to gain the attention of 3D designers who may have overlooked VectorWorks in the past. The addition of 3D Power Pack will open up new markets for VectorWorks and its Industry Series products.

With precision 2D drafting, sophisticated tools for dimensioning and notation, high-end presentation capabilities, and now advanced 3D modeling technology, VectorWorks is truly one of the most complete design solutions. Now there's no reason to purchase separate modeling and drafting programs. Users don't have to waste time constantly moving files between programs to get the capabilities they're looking for. VectorWorks has it all," says Monaghan.

New 3D commands provide the ability to create sections from almost any shaped surface, stitch and trim surfaces to create complex free-form shapes, and define a smooth fillet surface between two adjacent surfaces. In addition, now users can export VectorWorks models as 3D IGES files, to be read by other CAD or CAM programs with the IGES Export command.

New tools can create contours of a solid or surface at user-defined intervals and direction, create organic shapes by lofting through 3D cross sections, remove sharp corners, and easily create hollow shells from solid objects.

In addition to new commands and tools, the VectorWorks Series with 3D Power Pack includes improvements made to existing commands and tools. A complete list of new and improved commands and tools can be found at www.3DPowerPack.com
