Nemetschek North America Combines VectorWorks ARCHITECT with LANDMARK

San Francisco, California (July 27, 2001)? Due to substantial customer demand, Nemetschek North America today announced, at the Pacific Coast Builders Conference (PCBC), the release of its first combination product, VectorWorks ARCHITECT with LANDMARK. The move to fully integrate these two products was brought about by customers that expressed a need for both products' capabilities. Company officials state that ARCHITECT with LANDMARK is targeted towards full service design firms and is currently available in the US. It will also be available internationally through Nemetschek North America?s distribution channel in the near future.

Stewart Rom, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, stated, "We were originally surprised at the number of customers that were interested in a standalone solution that contains the high-end design capabilities of both of these products. However, we pride ourselves on listening to our customers, and it became apparent from the earliest mentions of LANDMARK that there were many firms that were looking for a fully integrated architecture, landscape and site design solution like this."

As a completely integrated product, VectorWorks ARCHITECT with LANDMARK combines all of the features of both products into one workspace. It also offers a unique hybrid design environment that easily incorporates a project?s 2D plans, and 3D models with reports and schedules. For more information and a complete feature set, visit www.nemetschek.net. ARCHITECT and LANDMARK are still available for sale individually.
