MicroGDS is a true multi-user product that has been designed with ease of
use, collaboration and quality in mind. Developed on the Windows platform in
1983 MicroGDS is fully compatible with Microsoft Office, allowing users to
embed quotations or specification spreadsheets, presentations and word
documents into the file. The actual file sizes reduce the bandwidth and
storage requirements of the business making it easier to work with multiple
users on the one project simultaneously. With it¹s own PDF creation tool
and full documentation management there is no need to purchase additional
Adobe or other desktop publishing licences.
This functionality does not compromise the 2D and 3D capabilities of the
software. MicroGDS reads Google SketchUp files enabling a quick transfer of
concept imagery into accurate CAD drawings and even supports AutoCAD DWF,
DWG and DXF file formats. The LightWorks® rendering engine accelerates the
creation and handling of 3D models resulting in a more complete tool for
generating impressive rendered images. These are just a few of the
capabilities of MicroGDS.
With full integration into Piranesi 5.1 the user can take their 2D or 3D
image and convert it into a breathtaking presentation images creating
dramatic impact. The final outputs of these workstations are second to
none.
This partnership offers users the ability to take advantage of the benefits
of both companies. By combining this powerful workstation with the superior
capabilities and output of MicroGDS and Piranesi, both large and small
businesses will compete on a level playing field relying on their own design
innovations to make them stand out from the crowd.
