Research direction

No file, test, or viewer entry point is named. Start by locating the 3D viewer and its current OpenGL integration in this Python/PyQt-based editor, then assess the scope and feasibility of Vulkan support. Done would require an agreed implementation direction and a clearly defined Vulkan-backed viewer outcome.
