Vectorworks Architect: New in Version 2008: Presentation & Rendering

Your presentations help sell your work, and you'll be sold on Vectorworks Architect 2008 when you can see what you can do with the amazing enhancements to the program's presentation capabilities.

Unlimited Colour Choices
Vectorworks Fundamentals 2008 offers unrestricted access to a world of colour. The completely redesigned colour palette menu manages and organizes unlimited colour choices. In addition to the standard operating system colour pickers, you can create custom colour palettes or select from colour palettes included with Vectorworks. Enhanced colour support also preserves the colours in all content imported into a Vectorworks document.

Object-based Opacity on Macintosh and Windows
With object opacity, you can easily adjust the transparency of individual 2D objects with the Attributes palette, or by using class attributes. Class overrides are also supported in viewports.

Layer Opacity and Anti-aliasing on Windows
Like Macintosh users, Windows users can now apply opacity to layers and also select to use anti-aliasing, which smooths out jagged edges on diagonal and curved objects for a better on-screen display.

Improved Hidden-line Rendering Performance
Under-the-hood improvements have decreased hidden-line rendering time, on both design layers and viewports, by as much as 50 percent. Hidden-line renderings are also more memory-efficient, so files with cached viewports can be substantially smaller. And when rendering in dashed-hidden-line mode, dashed lines follow the perimeter of curved objects.

New Gray Layer and Class Print Option
Different printers print gray levels differently. A new option adjusts the level of gray for grayed layers and classes, to give you more control over your output.

New Wood Texture and Image Files from arcitex®
111 new high-quality wood materials from arcitex® will add another dimension to your drawings and models.

Support for 3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator™ Support
The SpaceNavigator is a new 3D mouse that provides a powerful way to navigate around your model. With it, you can simultaneously pan, zoom, fly around, and walk through your models. Vary the amount of pressure on the SpaceNavigator to speed up or slow down.
