We’ve accumulated and answered some common questions and topics regarding KD Max V10 below. Hopefully they can help to provide insight into why many users have already made the switch.
While KD Max V10 maintains the core functionality and capabilities of V6, it is the fresh additions and improvements to the features we know and love that provide so much more. Rendering, Quoting, and Plans & Elevations are just some examples of the features that have experienced improvements.
Other than becoming familiar with the new layout and look, KD Max V10 maintains most of the same operations for the existing features you’ve likely already mastered. The most important NEW features are quite simple to learn. KD Max V10 also comes with an in depth operating manual, and the Cabinets by Computer team are continuing to create new and simple tutorials for common scenarios.
No, with this upgrade, we will be able to remotely update the status of your existing V6 key so that it will now actively work as a V10 key.
No , KD Max V10 successfully runs on the same computers as V6. Additionally, the new Cloud Rendering feature operates online and thus is not reliant on the processing power of your computer, compared to V6.
Unfortunately, no. The ability to upgrade existing licenses will cease from September 7th, 2021. After this date, V10 will need to be purchased separately to any existing license.
While we cannot guarantee compatibility of all V6 drawings with V10, our own testing has experienced no issues and already upgraded users we've spoken with or assisted have successfully opened V6 designs through V10.
The most commonly discussed benefit brought up by those who have upgraded is in regards to the speed and quality that cloud rendering can produce.
The original rendering capabilities are still available in V10. However, you can now access Cloud Rendering through internet connection. This allows you to generate high quality images far faster than ever before, as well as render multiple designs and edit projects simultaneously.
Rather than taking hours to produce a high quality render using computer power, Cloud rendering can produce higher quality renders in as fast as 3 minutes, whilst also enabling you to work on other projects whilst they render in the background.
While V6 has always been capable of rendering stunning images, Cloud rendering makes high quality images easier to achieve than ever before. A high quality render can be achieved in as little as 3 minutes via the cloud, whereas the quality of a V6 design in comparable time is limited by standard computer capabilities.
Cloud Rendering does not rely on manual and detailed changes to lighting settings. Cloud Rendering uses AI to produce the best available lighting for the room automatically from the light sources.
Additional detailed drawing now available. This includes information regarding material and panel style selected, as well as door direction.
Quotation can now be expanded to be based on each panel used in construction. This can allow for greater accuracy than that achieved in V6.
The online model library is active and expansive, providing access to additional appliances, hardware models, and more for your designs.
