VisualControls

VisualControls is Windows software for designing and specifying systems using Acuity Controls. It is intended for people who need to determine device quantities for a budgetary bid and produce a professional submittal. The application brings drawing references, product selection, device connections, and project documentation into one design workflow.

Users can import PDF or DWG files, as well as background images, to support the design. It can also import work from Visual Lighting, reducing the time needed to recreate an existing design. A searchable product database provides quick access to Acuity products while devices are being selected.

VisualControls provides intelligent wire connections between devices in the design. It can automate SOO generation from the devices placed in a room and automate riser generation from the design. Design auditing helps reduce errors, while support for multiple designs in one project file keeps related work together. Outputs can be customized to match the requirements of the design.

As a Windows product, VisualControls fits design and specification work performed on that platform.
