What`s New in Vertex BD 2026

You asked, we listened. 300+ improvements and fixes to boost your daily productivity

Enhancements that streamline modeling, boost accuracy, and simplify everyday project tasks

Architectural designers can now model upper eaves boards separately in mono-pitch roofs, convert 2D drawings to .vxm format for use as 3D reference models, and benefit from improved area selection tools that display area information directly—making design and analysis more intuitive.

Structural engineers gain new capabilities such as write protection for edited panels, automatic panel dimensions in footers, support for ScotSteel and automatic holes to floors, all of which improve accuracy and efficiency in structural detailing.

Other enhancements empower all users to manage building libraries without special permissions, delete multiple files at once in the document browser, and use multi-selection filtering in the building browser—streamlining project management and collaboration for everyone.

A Smarter, More Connected Vertex Sync Experience

Simplified workflows and integrated Microsoft 365 tools make everyday work smoother than ever

Vertex Sync is a cloud collaboration platform now integrates with Microsoft 365*, letting you create, upload and co-edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint files directly from Vertex BD—keeping everything organised, accessible and up to date in one place. The integration between Vertex BD and Vertex Sync has now been further improved. Users can assign a categorizing label to each building directly in the Vertex BD interface, making it much easier and faster to locate buildings in both Vertex BD and Vertex Sync. Additionally, the process for closing a building has been simplified, streamlining everyday workflows and saving users valuable time.

Enhanced IFC Support for Better Workflows

Better IFC compatibility, improved data handling, and more seamless project coordination

Vertex BD 2026 introduces significant improvements to IFC workflows, making everyday work more efficient and compliant. With the new bulk conversion feature, users can process multiple IFC objects at once, greatly speeding up project delivery. The ability to define IFC object types directly in scripts allows for more precise implementation of IFC file requirements.
