| Welcome to the CET Designer® e-newsletter | May 2010 Issue |
Dear Readers, This
edition of our newsletter is so chock-full we plan to do another just
before NeoCon … and also to let you know some of the surprises we have
in store for the big show at Chicago’s Merchandise Mart this June 14-16.
But in the meantime, here’s the scoop: Version 2.4 is out – read
what our power users say. Plus we’ve got some videos in this edition –
very cool to see just what you can do with CET Designer®. Finally, be sure to visit us on Facebook and Twitter – see the blurb at the end of this newsletter! Best regards,

Helena Lövgren Training & Communications Manager, Configura

| Lights – camera – action! Configura
CET Designer® unveiled its new demo video earlier this year. The video
is an update on the demo produced about five years ago. It includes the
software’s latest capabilities as well as testimonials from power users
and Los Angeles Architect Joey Shimoda (our keynote speaker at last
fall’s CET Designer User Conference). The video showcases Configura’s
new graphical profile and sets the stage for more videos, more case
studies, more success stories! View the video here. If you have a success story to share, please let our PR specialist, Molly Klimas, know at 616.443.4647 or klimas@intentpr.com. |

| Watch an office designed in less than three minutes The
buzz is building for sharing designs using video, and we’ve produced a
video that shows just how cool it can be. Watch how quickly an
office interior is built up, with the designer changing colors,
materials and light on the fly. This is a great way to communicate YOUR
design intent and help your clients to visualize their space. All of
this design work was done in CET Designer, which lets you do so many
things in far less time than you ever did before. Speaking of which,
have you upgraded to CET Designer 2.4? Our CET “power user” beta-testers
are amazed by its speed and ability to handle large projects like never
before. View the video here.
