DISCONTINUED: All my tools are developed solely to improve my own real-world productivity, are developed in my spare time from a real full-time job and sold on request for a nominal fee only. After over 20 years, I discontinued my development for Vectorworks since I moved to Archicad. This page is legacy only.
