marr Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 (edited) Why does Vectorworks not have a downloadable 30 day trial like Archicad and revit??? Edited March 24, 2008 by marr Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 With all due respect, our product is quite large in size due to the various products and industries, and a trial version is several gigs. Most people won't download something the size of the trial version. Quote Link to comment
marr Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 Archicads bim experience kit is quite huge but still I downloaded it. Quote Link to comment
oldguy Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 AutoCAD 2009 1.26GB Download (zipped) - expands to 3.5GB for installation files. Final application install is 750 MB. So.... just how big is Vectorworks? - zipped?? Point is, it is and can be done JimL Quote Link to comment
gScott Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 it could also be a stripped down version like the viewer, without all the add-on stuff, textures, symbols etc etc Quote Link to comment
G_Hannigan Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 (edited) NNA's family member, Maxon provides a downloadable trial version of Cinema 4D. I suspect that it is a marketing decision rather than a technical one. Edited March 26, 2008 by G_Hannigan Quote Link to comment

billtheia Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Hmm...The installation disk for VW2008 Designer - Mac is 3.3GB. Don't know if it could be compressed but even if it can't, still doesn't seem to be a reason NOT to have a downloadable trial. It doesn't look like there's even an ability to have a demo disk sent. Does NNA offer a trial disk? I had one for VW12.5. Quote Link to comment

marr Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Jeffrey, could I do that here in Europe or is that adress only for U.S. users? Quote Link to comment
Jeffrey W Ouellette Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 In Europe, contact your respective VW distributor for their policies and offerings. You can find them through the VectorWorks website: http://www.nemetschek.net/international/ Quote Link to comment
