Now, let’s take a look at some standout features in Vectorworks Fundamentals 2025 that will help you and your collaborators view and review your designs.

The brand-new Onscreen View Control gives you intuitive navigation over your model viewing. You can examine the contours, details, or textures of your model from any perspective with your cursor — never having to leave your modeling area.

The Onscreen View Control also provides one-click navigation for all of your major views, with added click-dragging to orbit the model interactively. There’s an optional display of XYZ axes, compass direction, and working planes to help you effortlessly orientate and move around your model. Plus, you can use a toggle in the Onscreen View Control, which allows you to quickly change from 2D to 3D.

No matter what you’re drawing or modeling, Onscreen View Control grants you the speed and simplicity you need to navigate your design space.

With the Two-Point Perspective mode in Vectorworks Fundamentals 2025, you’re able to produce professional photography perspectives of your object designs with ease. You can also leverage the tool to produce traditional compositions that are similar to traditional architectural drawing styles.

Toggled on with a single click, you can work with Two-Point Perspective mode directly in design layers or add it to saved views and sheet layer viewports. This is a key advantage because, once activated, it doesn't require re-activating every time you change your view.

Once you’re accustomed to the Onscreen View Control and Two-Point Perspective and have a design ready to ship, you can begin sharing it with collaborators, reviewers, and clients with the new Cloud Document Reviewer. 

This feature, powered by Vectorworks Cloud Services, lets those involved in the project view and comment on your document from anywhere a web device is available.

Your collaborators, reviewers, and clients can highlight areas of interest and directly add comments. Then, back in your office, you can quickly resolve issues within Vectorworks and send updated versions back to interested parties, saving you time and making the design and review process far more streamlined.
