2025 - Curbs, Edging and Borders - New Feature Video

[JuanP]

Design accurate curbs, borders, and edging elements based on profile extrudes or individual unit placement. Create these elements as freestanding or seamlessly integrate with hardscapes and landscape areas. Specify corner and insertion details and define front and back curb modifier points for easy terrain manipulation. Design styles will make you more consistent and save you time as you worry less about needing revisions.

This looks very well thought out and powerful!  I'm excited to try it out.

I appreciate how the programers treated corners with the option to miter the materials as we do in the filed, bravo!

finally!

Bravo!

Very excited about this, to make this truly useful may I request that roads can also be inclined in section?
Cross-sections of roads are never flat (they fall to either sides), it gets especially complex when there is a bend in the road, as the cross-section incline changes further according to the speed of traffic, width of road, etc.
Without the ability to create this cross-section incline, we can't model the roads designed by our traffic consultants with the road tool.
We end up doing complex things like free form modelling, which isn't great for our 2d drawings. 
And each time our consultants update the road profile, it is a massive headache to update the model.

Perhaps the upcoming 3d roadways function will help for you. Probably a VW 2026 feature since it's under the development section of the roadmap, see: https://www.vectorworks.net/en-US/public-roadmap?url=roadways

Might be worth indicating which products changes will be included with.

This is great! It's been a long desired feature. Thanks Vectorworks!
