Likewise, there are some less demanding situations where Vectorworks will perform well on older hardware.įor large projects, complex and very detailed models/drawings, complex renderings (such as large BIM projects, large entertainment venues, commercial sites, GIS, high-end landscaping design, photorealistic rendering)ģ.0+ GHz Intel Core i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 with eight cores, or better In some demanding cases, we would suggest a more capable machine than is described in these hardware profiles.

The following are real-world system requirements for running Vectorworks 2023.
