Can we please have a ctrl+z! That would be a game changer

Great job Lumion 🔥
For the next update:
1- Enhance section ortho, by adding specific plan and section styles.
2- Add custom size of rendering button, not only 5 fixed ones!
3- Don't forget Crtl+Z and Y for undo and redo.
4- Make vector exports from Lumion to DWG, especially for ortho mode, so we can use them in AutoCAD and PhotoShop.

[YantramStudioD]

In my mind it does not get much more exciting and visual than this! Top notch and very inspirational. A real motivation for me

[architecture]

Man I love you.. and your company - you just destroyed everyone who considered the rendering as a business

[thewaywardcyclist]

i switched to lumion from 3ds max recently mainly because of speed, i can now render an image for 2-3 minutes as opposed to 2-3 hours a piece using max, and the animation looks better and fast to render too but bear in mind the animation is suitable for architectural purpose only. if you want to animate certain movements or people talking, it's not the right software.

[antoinecoffigniez]

TNice tutorials is very easy to understanding.i have soft soft tutorial Tamil language .keep on each other's.greet job dudes

[ahmedmarhaba]

I jus hope in new future release will enable us to render custom size pictures

[novaaedificium]

It's like a long time ago at Christmas when I only got socks. I have the same feeling with Lumion 11, I expected more. Had high hopes for VR and an improvement on the engine.
