Particular views are easily saved, with the name of each saved view added to the bottom of the View menu for easy access. These saved views form the starting point for walkthrough scripting, with variable interpolation. The goal of making DesignWorkshop a fast and efficient tool for architecture has driven the detailed modeling features as well as the fundamental interface. For instance, the Edit menu Wallify function turns multiple selected massing blocks into walls enclosing spaces in one menu pick. The Object Info box allows direct inspection and quick numerical editing of object dimensions, orientation, etc.
Objects carry material information, and, optionally, object names and data.
All coordinate information is floating point, so there are no worries about scale changes and rounding errors. At any stage in its development, a model can be viewed and edited in shaded or hidden-line view for visual completeness, or in wireframe for speed. The sun study function renders sequential time-lapse frames in parallel and directly saves QuickTime movies. With personal computer technology constantly improving, the combination of easy direct manipulation modeling with realistic immersion viewing is no longer just a dream or a promise. With DesignWorkshop, it's right at your finger tips.
