This episode sheds light on the impressive features introduced in the Vectorworks 2024 version, emphasising its highly anticipated 3D Dragger Tool, which streamlines 3D modelling workflows and converting 2D shapes into intricate 3D designs using the software's robust toolset, such as the 3D Power Pack and NURBS curves.

Key Takeaways:
The Vectorworks 2024 version introduces a new and improved 3D dragger tool for advanced design manipulation.
Users can enjoy a streamlined interface with customisable snap settings and the option to toggle text labels.
Converting 2D shapes into complex 3D models is made effortless with Vectorworks's 3D Power Pack and NURBS curves functionality.
The 3D dragger tool offers unprecedented control for editing models, including the ability to dynamically modify vertices and edges.
Vectorworks supports design history, allowing users to revert or modify previous steps and create intricate designs with ease.
