Teowin Design Features


Full Control Over Linear Object (tops, kickers, cornices etc):User have total control over every characteristic of items like bench top, kickboard, capping, bulkhead, crest and light covers.The items can be introduced automatically with a single click of the mouse.Each linear item can be viewed in a special screen and modification like join types / mitres, profiles, positions, recesses, edge profiles etc and easily applied.
For example, if you want to increase the overhang of a bench top you could simply click on the bench top and drag / extend it to a new position.
Cabinet Interaction:TeoWin allows you to open and close drawers and doors.This make it possible to view the internal characteristics of these objects, assign and view internal fixtures like bins etc.In the 3D environment this makes the presentation element of the sale far more appealing and allows designers to illustrate these internal components.
Create and Save Templates:A template is information that is stored on a page to complement the design image.It could include the ratio, company logo, customer name etc.It is easy for a user to develop their own template via simple point and click wizard.



Create and Save Compositions:Acomposition is a user defined range of cabinets or internals.For example you may always design a fridge unit with certain end panels and a specific cabinet to one side of the unit.These objects could be saved as a composition and then with a single mouse click they could be introduced to the design.Alternatively is you are designing a wardrobe you may have a number of preconfigured internal offerings.These could be saved and introduced to to illustrate the various options options to your perspective clients.Compositions can significantly reduce your design time.
Control Materials, Colours, Finishes and Profiles:User have full control over the various materials, colours, finishes and profile used in the design process.Wizards and assistants make introducing new items easy.
Automatic Kitchen Generator:TeoWin includes an automatic kitchen generator which enables a user to automatically design a kitchen based on a set of condition.The generator is preconfigured by the user in a scripting environment.
Note: Unlike other features this is considered an advance feature and is not typically taught during the initial installation.


Automatic Cabinet Insertion Wizard:The automatic cabinet insertion wizard allows a user to easily nominate the location of new cabinets relative to a cabinet that has already been placed onto the drawing.Once the feature has been selected, users can simply choose the cabinet from a list, highlight it and the cabinet will automatically be placed onto the drawing in the correct position.This dramatically reduces the time required to introduce cabinet to the drawing and so designers are capable of designing faster.
Automatic Cabinet Positioning Wizard:If activated a user can nominate the position of a cabinet or group of cabinets relative to a nominated cabinets.For example, you could nominate that the next group of cabinets is 50mm lower than a previously selected wall cabinet and every cabinet will be accurately positioned relative to this cabinet.This means easier and more accurate cabinet placement.
Automatic Size Adjustment:User can highlight a cabinet and then select the automatic fill option.This will allow the software to align the cabinet to the chosen mark.For example, you could place a shelf between two cabinets and without even working out the required distance, select the auto fill feature and the shelf will be automatically calculated.
When placing a wardrobe, for example you could nominate the outer carcass and nominate that this be automatically extended to the next wall.
Automatic Angle Generation:This feature enables a user to instruct a cabinet to automatically align itself to the internal angle of the wall.There is no need to work this out manually and then enter the appropriate value for the angle into a dialog box.
Automatic Cabinet Cut Backs:If a cabinet comes into contact with internal columns or walls, the cabinet will automatically align themselves to these obstructions. For example, if a column is positioned in the centre of a cabinet, the cabinet will automatically cut out the required material to fit around the column.As soon as the cabinet is placed, users can instantly view the manufacturing details of the cabinet along with a dimensioned drawing illustrating the cut back.
Automatic and Manual Cabinet Rotation:When a cabinet or object is highlighted users can easily control it angle either manually, via use of the mouse, or automatically by entering a value.
Automatic Filler and Panel Placement:When you require a filler or panel to the side of a cabinet you can right click on the mouse and select either the automatic filler or panel placement option.These items are then automatically placed into position.This save design time and does not require users to locate these items in the cabinet selection tool and then place them manually into position.
Automatic Alignment and Snapping:Cabinet automatically align them selves to other objects and snap into position.User can choose to remove the collision detection feature if required.

Preconfigured Room Layouts:The room layouts can either be manually introduced or it is possible to select for a number of preconfigured options.For standard room layouts the preconfigured options can save design time.
Add Columns and Interior Walls:Internal columns and walls can be added very easily in TeoWin and the package recognises that they are different from the external wall structure.This makes it easy for a designer to apply different characteristics to all or part of these objects without affecting the external walls characteristics.

Lighting, Shadows and Reflections:Adding lighting, shading and reflection is simple and quick.Users can control these attributes manually or select from a range of pre-configured lighting environments (morning, noon, evening etc)



Photo Realistic Presentations:TeoWin utilises a computers video graphics card to generate images that require a second glance as they are that realistic.The rendering is continually updated and there is no need to wait for the a race tracing engine or tolerate poor output.

Generation of 3D Video Walkthroughs:Designers can create a video presentation prior to attending the sales call and uses the keyboard function keys to illustrate changing conditions, doors opening etc.Overall the video walk throughs take the guess work out of the presentation process and rather than dominate the sales call, they support it.

Generation of Video Output Files (AVI):Designs can be captured and saved as an AVI file and either distributed to the customer or attached to a web site for the client to download.AVI files can also be captured and played on mobile devices to eliminate the need for your sales team to carry note books and purchase a software license.

Generation of Image Files (JPEG, BMP):Any view within TeoWin can be captured as either a BMP or JPEG file and email to a client so that it is possible to see the design without the need for the design software.

Notes and Attachments:Notes and attachments can easily be added to the drawing and users have full control over the font style, size and the note position.Click to insert and then associate it to the object; the arrow and lines are automatically inserted.
Insert Installation Symbols:User can easily insert installation symbols, like TV and electrical outlets, in the elevation view.These objects are then carried forward in the 3D view and substituted with and accurate 3D model.
Import CAD Elements (DXF):TeoWin allows you to import CAD elements directly into TeoWin.For example you could import a range of decorative elements, sinks, handles, etc.

Automatic Backup:TeoWin enables a user to nominate the time between automatic backups.If the system is shut down without saving the drawing the software will automatically resort to the last know backup when restarted and ask the user if they want to restore the file.
