License Running Out Message
Well, it is that time of year again. The weather turns cold, and the holidays are near. That also means that most of your license codes are expiring. Our techincal support department usually hears from a lot of you about now. If you see this message box, and you do not have your codes for next year yet, please make sure you are pressing "CONTINUE" and not "Install New Code". If you also click the red X or press Escape, the code will be removed, and will force you to re-enter a code.
If you do accidentally hit the "Install New Code" button, and do not have the new codes, you can still type in your current license codes that will be expiring soon.
If you need to check on the process of your codes, you can email accounting@projectmatrix.com

Teknion Webinar video now available
This is the link for the first Teknion Webinar hosted on Thursday, November 18th, 2010. This video is from the morning session.
Click HERE to watch video.
Q: Will the sif files output from Configura be able to be opened in Project Matrix?
A: The new fields that we are adding we are thinking will help in the import functions.
Q: Are there any plans to provide panel builders for those of us working in Storyboard?
A: Yes, we are working on that with Configura.
Q: How far away are we from having Altos & Optos catalogs for Project Matrix?
A: We are almost at the testing phase of the project. We will let you know when we are looking for Beta users.
Q: This render program.....does it require that the 3D is created in Project Matrix or can we use any 3D?
A: The 3D can be created using any 3d program. Design Express, Cap, or just user drawn.
Q: Will we be able to pick line items to order within the spec?
A: We are also working on that, so you can filter the exported line items. The printing will so do that.
Q: Will the spreadsheet column headers be customizable so we can rename them?
A: Not at this time. Tag fields may be the first to be customized.........
Q: Is there a way to condense the info on a full financial so it's not such a paper waster? Do any of the new formats address this?
A: Yes, there are several types of reports that Rob made to resemble Design Express. You can also make your own. You can use what we call a "horizontal" option report where the option descriptions are omitted.
Q: Can you switch easially to metric figures in ProjectRender?
A: Whatever you have in Autocad 3D will render ProjectRender. If you have metric blocks in the drawing, the blocks can be rendered, regardless if size. There is also a toggle in ProjectRender to scale the walls and room environments to metric.

A: at this time no. I would recommend Google Sketchup for that look.
Q: Are you planning on adding Enclose & live space to both catalogs and rendering capabilites?
A: We are working on a wall program, Haworth has spoke to us about a AutoCAD version so someday we believe we will.
Q: How does the blocking work with tagging
A: If you tag a part in a typical the sif out will add that tag. Currently you cannot change the tag unless you edit the typical.
Q: What is the difference between ProjectRender and CET Configura? What would I choose one over the other? We already have CET that works with Haworth, would we still need ProjectRender?
A: If you are only using CET for renderings, then there is no need for both. CET and CANVAS are great configuration tools for systems furniture and currently the only way to spec Enclose.
