Visual Impression can treat the entire drawing as a scene, but performs best when your drawing is organized into scenes around different points of interest that you want to call attention to. Performance can vary by machine and by the complexity of the items you include in your scene.
Visual Impression saves your room configuration back to Cap Complete. If a scene is not defined and the room information is applied back to the entire drawing, future product additions to the drawing may appear outside of the original room dimensions. If scenes are defined in the drawing and you make additions that move outside of the room dimensions, the scene can be deleted; allowing you to redefine your scene from scratch. If you anticipate additions to your drawing, it is best to define scenes before you go onto Visual Impression. Scene components also may be resized and/or moved to allow for more furniture items that might appear outside of the saved room’s dimensions.
