The new Import Wizard imports JPEG or PDF format floor plans directly into Vivien and includes onscreen features, such as rotation, selecting insertion points, and it will even properly scale the floor plan so you can start planning the space right away, making it easier and faster to work in Vivien. New features for file importing facilitate management of layers to ease management of AutoCAD2013, and still speedily handle Google SketchUp, PDFs, and JPEGs.
Regardless how a floor plan gets into Vivien, the new Room Builder Wizard transforms a 2D floorplan into a 3D venue. Import a JPEG of the venue, trace the outline and Vivien delivers walls, floors and ceilings. At this point, the User can work with the space or take it all the way -- apply wall surfaces the same way as floor surfaces - take a digital pic, import & apply.
