New catalogue browser - now available for everyone
Cyncly has been diligently refining the new catalogue browser through the Early Release Program, using the valuable feedback from users like you to understand how we can continuously improve the experience. With this latest release, we are pleased to announce that you can manage creating and viewing your Macros from the browser. Additionally, we have successfully implemented enhancements that significantly increase the speed at which the browser updates when switching between different modes. Specifically, transitioning from Room Definition mode to Furnishing mode is now noticeably faster, providing a smoother and more efficient workflow for users.
We have created an extensive collection of videos and help articles designed to guide you through the use of the new catalogue browser. These resources provide comprehensive instructions and tips to help you navigate and make the most of the features available. To access this information, click here.

User experience improvements
The Winner team are committed to improving your workflow and reducing clicks during the design process, saving you time on these tasks. In this release when an outer wall is selected, in room definition mode, you will see a sub-tool bar appear under the draw outer wall icon. In a closed room it offers you the options of the Select tool, split edge by adding a point and parallel shift the selected edge. In an open room it offers you various options for closing the room. It is designed to make it easier to identify which tool belongs to which type of room, while also simplifying the way you access and switch between them.

New system setting for Worktop mode
In Worktop mode, when assigning a code, a window asks if cuts should be done onsite. Winner will now auto apply the suggested cutout type for all Projects when Allow system to ask for cutout types is unchecked in System Settings, thereby eliminating the pop-up asking you to confirm the cutout type and saving time during design.
Improvement to decimal separator
Winner will now examine the Windows country and region settings to verify that the decimal separator used for numbers and amounts is correctly configured. This step is essential to ensure that the application displays numerical data accurately. By doing so, the application will handle decimal points and separators in a way that aligns with regional conventions, improving usability related to numerical values.
On screen Clock for log recording
Go to Help > Show/Hide clock to start a clock which will stay on top of Winner while you are working. This is designed for taking more accurate log files so the team can see from the recording the steps that lead up to a crash. When recording detailed log files the clock will start automatically.
New decorative objects
Winner's Standard products are continuously being updated to provide the best options to enhance your designs. This release also includes a re-organisation of the categories making it more user friendly. See a selection of the latest additions, in the video below.
New Textures
This update introduces several new textures specifically designed for the leather category within the materials window. These additions enhance the variety and realism of leather materials available, allowing users to create more detailed and authentic leather surfaces in their projects.
Winner Extensions
CMC enhancements
Link optional and mandatory articles to a main item
As a designer or sales person, you may want to automatically suggest items that are linked to a main code. Cyncly already provides catalogues that have these linked codes today. With CMC, you can now define your own linked codes for main items. When inserting the main item, a dialog will prompt you with the linked codes, where you can mark them as either mandatory or optional selections. The designer can then choose from the list accordingly.

Winner Flex only
New render engine - better renders for everyone
Winner Flex now features an upgraded render engine for faster, higher-quality renders! Based on user feedback from the early release, we've fine-tuned it to deliver the best results even quicker.
Once enabled, through the Additional Modules > Render Engine dialog, you'll experience significant improvements in both speed and output, dependent on your hardware. The new render engine utilises the Graphics card (GPU) when rendering, in addition to utilising the CPU as a fallback. With the latest GPUs, you can achieve render speeds that are 10 to 50 times faster than before. For the best performance, check out our latest hardware recommendations Hardware requirements and system specification.

This improvement allows for a more seamless integration of SketchUp models within the VRML format, making it easier to share and utilise your creations across different platforms.
