The new features in ComfortableConservatories v3
ComfortableConservatories v3 brought in many useful, powerful and time-saving features. Below you can learn of the key options introduced in version v3.
 
This image shows the Comfy CAD application integrated in ComfortableConservatories which allows for planning documents to be created.
Integrated 'ComfyCAD' program.
This powerful, money and time saving 'CAD' feature allows you to import conservatory 'line' views in to a scalable area, so that you can then draw the customers property next to it, to scale! Ideal for drawing plans for planning permission.

The new feature is accessed on the 3 views screen, where you simply select it from the 'file' menu after creating your conservatory design. Once loaded you can then:
  • Add views of the conservatory (left, right, front and plan).
  • Use extensive drawing tools to create houses and more.
  • Change the 'CAD' world size and page size.
  • Save drawings/objects for future use.
  • Print plans to many page sizes (depending on printer).
  • Add intuitive measurement indicators.
  • Drawings designed within Comfy CAD can be emailed and more!
ComfyCAD really is a complete CAD drawing package in itself! And you get this built-in!.
Adjustable Arches
This option was a direct result of customer requests! Many of you wanted a future version of the software to have better looking arches that could be adjusted to suit your customers taste. So here it is!

The following arches can now be configured within conservatory panels:
  • Arched Head, with adjustable arch height and drop dimensions
  • Arched Corners, with adjustable width and height dimensions
  • Arched Bar, with adjustable arch height and drop dimensions
Bars can be set up on a per panel basis and can even be copied instantly to either:
  • All panels
  • All empty panels or
  • All similar panels
Arches automatically inherit the profile colour and are viewable on printed reports.
Conservatories software boasts new adjustable windows arches functionality for arched head, arched corners & arch bars.
Conservatories software has the extremely useful job transfer facility which allows quotes and oreders to be copied pc to pc.
Transfer quotes and orders from one PC to another!
Transfer jobs from computer to computer.

This exiting new feature allows the user to copy quotes and orders from one Windows® based PC or laptop to another.
This extremely useful feature allows you to:
  • Export a selection of quotes, or orders to files for transfer*
  • Export a selection of quotes, or orders to files to email*
  • Import a selection of quotes, or orders from files*
  • Import a selection of quotes, or orders attached to an email*
  • Files can be stored to blank CD's, portable media drives, saved across networks and more!
* You must have a working internet connection and a default email application set up on your system for the email feature. A broadband connection and a large mailbox are also recommended due to possibly large order files (depending on conservatory).
Job transfers must always be between the same version of the software. E.g. For ComfortableConservatories v3, the same software version must also be installed on each computer involved and have matching data.
The 'Conservatory Defaults' feature.
This version of ComfortableConservatories introduced the ability to set up defaults for conservatories. This greatly speeds up the design of common conservatories, for when you reach the overlay stage your conservatory will inherit your favoured settings.
The defaults that can be set are as follows:
  • Internal Texture - Changes the inside wall covering to an image of your choice
  • External Texture - Changes the outside brick to an image of your choice
  • Plynth Texture - Changes the wall below door level to an image of your choice
  • Plynth Height - Changes the height of the wall below door level to dimensions entered
  • Dwarf Height - Changes the height of the wall to dimensions entered and turn wall on/off
  • Floor Texture - Changes the inside floor covering to an image of your choice
  • Window Board Texture - Changes the window board covering to an image of your choice
  • Skirting Texture - Changes the skirting covering to an image of your choice
  • Panel Type - Lets you decide which panel (e.g. top-hung over fixed) should fill the conservatory
  • Raked Panel Type - Lets you decide which panel (e.g. top-hung over fixed) should fill the conservatory where raked panels are located
 
Conservatories software now boasts the facility to set default options for brickwork, internal wall covering, plynth brickwork and height, dwarf wall height, flooring, window board, skirting and panel type.
Conservatories software has exceptionally fast and highly benefitial panels copy functionality.
Massive speed improvement with new panel options!
Robust new panel features have been added which really speed up conservatory creation when used!
Another fine example based on customer feedback! The new panel options are as follows:
  • Copy to All - Allows you to replace every single panel in a conservatory with the selected panel (and its effects).
  • Copy to Similar - Allows you to replace all panels 'of the same type' in a conservatory with the same effects as the panel you selected.
  • Copy to Empty - Allows you to fill every empty panel slot in a conservatory with the selected panel (and its effects).
  • Paste to Similar - Allows you to replace all panels of the type selected after a panel you selected the copy option on.
Other new panel options include:
  • The ability to delete unused window/door styles
  • The ability to delete georgian from individual panes. Enhancing design flexibility

PVCu wedges - You can now display PVC in the rake of square ended lean-to's and lean-to parts of p-shapes etc. When selected this option will inherit the profile colour.

DXF export - The conservatory model can be exported as a DXF file for use with other CAD applications that support DXF files.
