New unified 2D/3D environment
Building upon the Parasolid modelling foundation we laid in 2009, Vectorworks 2010 has a new unified view that makes it an ideal 3D modelling environment. When you're working in unified view, it allows you to select and modify objects on any layer.

Improved 3D snapping
Now more than ever, Vectorworks users are investigating the potential of 3D. As a result, you'll notice improvements in the overall usability and reliability of 3D snapping. With the 3D cursor and new working plane graphics, you can reliably acquire your snaps, so it's easier to select, modify, and align your objects in 3D.

New planar graphics
2D objects can occupy the screen plane as they do now, or they can become planar objects, which exist in 3D space and maintain their relationship to the 3D model.
