Continuing with quality of life enhancements, this release includes updates to moving and sizing objects as well as the oft-requested ability to change the outdoor environment to a cityscape. We’ve also made screen resizing even easier on video walls and added many more objects!
Environments
Tired of the mountains? Change the outdoor environment to one of three new cityscapes. You can also select pure black and pure white; useful for Modus Photo workflows where the outdoor environment would be manually removed later.
Camera feeds
Displays can now tune into a 6th channel, fed by an in-Modus camera of your choosing. Another great way to visualize what the far end’s experience will be like in a conference room.
Interactive rulers
Greatly speed up room builds by manually entering distance values for rulers. Simply click on a ruler and enter the value in your menu!
Object dimensions
Many objects can have their dimensions entered manually at the bottom of the properties panel, particularly useful if you’re working with mixed units.
D-Tools Integration
It’s easier than ever to embed a Modus 360 into a D-Tools Cloud proposal. In the launcher, select a 360 and click “Copy for D-Tools.” In the D-Tools Cloud proposal editor, “Modus 360” is now an option in the Add Section editor!
Legrand updates: Middle Atlantic and Lund Halsey
We’ve added the Lund Halsey Consoles for control room environments, and the C5 credenza for general commercial uses!
Gym equipment
You now have everything needed to build a home or commercial gym, including treadmills, rowing machines, exercise bikes, lockers and more!
Salamander updates
For home projects, we’ve added the residential credenza. On the commercial side, we’ve added the Arc Table, perfect for Signature Microsoft Teams rooms.
