FINE-TUNE FLOOR VIEWS: FLOOR 2D/3D VISIBILITY CONTROL
With our Floor 2D/3D Visibility Control, users have the power to selectively display or hide specific floors in both 2D and 3D views. This flexibility allows for rapid customization of 3D renders, ensuring that you can focus on precisely the design elements you want to showcase.
EFFICIENT RENDERING WORKFLOW: BATCH RENDERING 3D VIEWS
Our Batch Render 3D Views feature streamlines the rendering process. Users can queue up saved 3D views for final high-quality image rendering. Instead of rendering each view individually, select multiple views and initiate the process. Rendered image files are neatly saved in a specified folder.
Moreover, the enhanced Save 3D View functionality now includes additional settings for customizing the view. You can fine-tune details such as the active decorator palette, visible floors, plans, subplan visibility, photo render lighting settings, lot specifications, and even the active cutaway object. A perfect blend of accuracy and ease!
