And you could choose to buy these such that they were already at their final SP release for each version. It will be interesting to see what the going price tends to be, for a secondhand copy of VW, now. Due the fact that you can no longer use it as a step along an upgrade path, it ought to be rather lower than it was a few years ago. I am not sure it is, with some asking £1500 for 2021, for example!

One year this looked very different, and the charts showed Vectorworks at 30% (if I recall correctly). The NBS then threw cold water on their own survey saying there must have been an error for Vectorworks use to be so high! 1 Quote Link to comment

line-weight Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 Came across this video; firstly it looks at how the cost of using Cinema4D has increased substantially since subscription pricing came in, secondly it looks at the cost of using Blender with paid add-ons as an alternative. Of course, we may never see a free, open-source Blender-like CAD/BIM application that could compete with VW, but the video seems relevant to this thread. 1 Quote Link to comment
