ComfortableConservatories v2 introduced numerous handy, intuitive and time-saving features, greatly expanded to help you move forward.
Below you can learn of the key options introduced in version v2.

Ingenious Roof cut outs.
This powerful new 'Roof cut out' option allows you to cut sections from any roof design on the system to allow for chimney breasts and more.

The new feature is accessed on the roof/rafters screen, where you simply click on the side that you wish to cut out and then enter the following:

• Where the cut out starts on the side of the conservatory
• The length of the cut out, and
• How far the cut out will project in to the conservatory.

Any number of cut outs can be configured per conservatory allowing for corner cut outs, and cut outs that dissect the ridge amongst others!
The cut outs are also displayed on line drawings and overlays.

This amazing new option allows you to add a selection of 3D objects to the scene, either inside or outside of the conservatory. An ideal way to show your customers how much room they can expect to see in their conservatory after furniture has been added.
3D objects included range from sofas, chairs, tables, plants, radiators, dog kennels etc, to even a bird table!

3D Objects are added via new user friendly layout screens and sport the following features:

• Object selection from a large library screen
• Object scaling by various methods using a new scaling screen
• Object placement and rotation using a unique overhead planning screen
• Each object can be moved inside or outside a scene as follows:
  • Forwards & Backwards, Left & Right, Up & Down, rotated and tilted
• Objects can be moved on their own or with the conservatory
• Light casting Objects can be added to the conservatory (see here for more)

Many objects can be added to each job and will save to the system, keeping position once reloaded in future.

Flexible Light Sources

This exiting new option allows you to add up to 4 extra lights to the scene. This can help create the perfect 'Night time' overlay and to cast coloured lights within a scene, thus increasing realism.
This feature is accessed from the 3D objects planning screen and allows you to:

• Change the angle by which the light is cast to either
  • 90°, 180° or 360°
• Emitted light source colour adjustments, using a 'Red, Green and Blue colour slider' tool to mix the colour
• Change the emitted brightness of the light source
• Ability to turn light sources on or off (individually) without deleting them

This version of ComfortableConservatories now allows you to view the following information on-screen and on many of the printable reports supplied:

• The External Volume of the Conservatory
• The floor area (to internal wall)
• The base area (to external wall)
• The wall area
• The current roof pitch for each roof segment
• The roof height

The volume and pitch are accessible on the screen where you specify the conservatory dimensions and on the overlay screens via the new 'Conservatory Information' page. All other options shown above are contained within the 'Conservatory Information' page.
