Sporting a contemporary and “easy to navigate” user interface, with new features, Cyncly has launched Version 8.4 of its bathroom CAD software Virtual Worlds.

Taking a phased approach to the launch, with more new features to be introduced later in the year, the initial V8.4 features a new look, with fresh branding.

Using Virtual Worlds, retailers can create 3D designs with manufacturer endorsed products, present them in realistic virtual reality with 4D Theatre, and according to the company increase average sales value by 20% compared to the old way of presenting.

Responding to customer feedback, Virtual Worlds V8.4 features a Texture Settings button that enables designers to apply textures and add a custom texture in one location.

It means textures can be applied from any catalogue, and edited for size or positioning in what Cyncly reports is a simplified process.

Similarly, the Tile Template Selection Tool has been redesigned to make it easier to navigate between the catalogue and available templates.

In addition, features including matching adjacent tile surfaces and deleting all surfaces have been re-engineered so they are easier to access, speeding up the design process while ensuring accuracy.

Behind the scenes, Cyncly has made some user-centre updates, including automatic catalogue updates by default, ensuring designers have access to the latest product launches from the bathroom manufacturers included in the software.

Kitchen and bathroom retailers can also quote, manage, and order using software provider Cyncly’s EQ Flex, which supports Virtual Worlds and Winner CAD..
