Good day Capture Team.

Please would you take some time investigating options to colaborate with Vectorworks for the following.

Being a Capture User since Capture Atlas, i had to also invest in using Vectorworks in 2026 as designing more complex geomatry became a everyday task for me then bringing the VWX file over to Capture became a daily task and unfortunitly revisions happen and then everything needs to be redone.

Here is what i suggest should be concidered to help make life easier for all users of both software.

Create a direct link like" Datasmith for Unrealengine" and or "Live Sync for D5 Render", for Vectorworks to Capture. While doing the drafts and most of the design in Vectorworks to visualize in Capture I do see how this can be a great advantage for powerusers.

Yes currently we are all doing exports to Capture but as you know some of the geomatry, Lighting fixtures etc gets lost in translation and that is painfull to say the least.

Also the library of LED Panels that matches in both software by name and model does not pull through to capture in a workable mannor. Like in Capture once an Absen LED D2V Plus brought from Vectorworks, Capture does not recognize this model eventhough its in Capture's library, therfore does not show on any reports, or emits lighting when imported. If I use the panel from the Capture library it then gets reported and emits light like it should, So what im trying to get at is that these softwares should be able to comunicate properly so that work doesnt need to get done twice as it takes time and alot of that in some cases.

Your support on this topic would be much appreciated, and I look forward to hear form you in this regard soon.
