3D Visioner 2017 R1

We are proud to announce an important milestone in continuous 3D Visioner development: “R1” update of 2017 version is released to bring you better experience and more content. Work on 3D Visioner is constantly going forward. We are aiming to bring enhancements and polish already existing functionality — and this time we have collected a set of major and minor changes that is quite exciting for a updated version.

Highlights of this “R1” update are following:

• “Put On Top” feature allows instantly adjusting elevation of a 3D object to stand on top of another object. On overlapped shapes, via right click menu “3D Height and Tilt” select “Put on Top” and the 3D model of this shape will be put on top of another.
• Connector colors — line connectors now follow the color of the connector line on Visio drawing.
• 3D Text — thanks to improved handling of Containers and rectangle primitives it is now possible to put up a text banner in 3D scene. Create a rectangle with out without fill or an outline, type in some text into it. Right-click and select “Container -> Add to New Container”. Then via right-click menu “3D Height and Tilt” adjust X or Y angle to 90 degrees. Then set elevation to the desired level. 3D text banner is ready.
• Fix for random application crash with DirectX error (DX3DERR:InvalidCall): now the application stability has improved.
• Re-arragned scene light system provides more consistent and uniform view of the objects’ colors at various angles.
• 176 new 3D models for Visio 2016 shapes from Appliances, Furniture, Equipment, Vehicles, Planting and more. These shapes got higher-complexity 3D models to compliment traditional simple and clean 3D Visioner models. “Supported Shapes” Ribbon menu has sample sheets with new supported shapes labeled “2016”.
• Miscellaneous optimizations related to performance and memory.

We are continuing our effort in improving multiple details and welcome your feedback. In the future we will be updating our product with “R2” version based on your input and other ideas in our backlog.
