With the new version “2025” of ElementsCAD, the edv & cad group is setting new standards for furniture and interior design in Vectorworks.
Freely definable components for interior design CAD planning, more flexibility, more efficient workflows and new tools for 3D planning, CNC export and customization. Find out here what highlights await you and how you can noticeably speed up your processes.
🆕 Highlights of ElementsCAD 2025
1. Revised cabinet configurator with “cutout” tab
The new Configure Cabinet dialog → tab “Cutout” now allows you to define your own components as global or local symbols – directly from a box without a reference object. In addition, frames with a circumferential fold can be created and the widths can be individually adjusted.
New Tools & Palette Features
The new navigation allows classes and levels to be shown or hidden at lightning speed. Furniture, fronts, edges or connectors can be shown or hidden centrally. Guides to the “Auxiliary Constructions” class can be controlled separately for labels.
3. Checkbox “Activate mode” in the tab “Show”
With this function, cut-out components (BT) can be clearly separated from individual components – and the texture assignment is done directly via the database instead of via classes. This allows centralized control and simpler variant management.
4. Take texture management to the next level
Double-click on a texture and it will be assigned to the entire cabinet. At the same time, a class tree is automatically created that effectively controls global changes. “Assign component info” can be used to edit individual fronts or sides in a targeted manner. When a database assignment is unassigned, the original texture automatically appears – ideal for test or variant runs.
Efficient CNC Workflow & Manufacturing Interface
For companies with an interface to CNC production, the export process has been further optimized: Parts list, drilling and milling data are generated automatically, and interfaces to common machines are supported. This shortens the path from planning to production.
🎯 Advantages for your everyday work
- Faster planning: With predefined components, frames and symbols, you can shorten the modeling process enormously.
- Greater flexibility: With cut-out components and database textures, you can adapt variants almost ad hoc.
- Reduced potential for errors: The new workflow minimizes manual steps during CNC export and data transfer.
- Uniform service: Thanks to the improved class tree and automated texture assignments, quality remains high even in series projects.
- Future-proof solution: The platform is optimized for current versions of Vectorworks and supports multi-language installation.
