Simply hover the mouse over or tap the relevant statement to see an explanation
- Is Gold Pocket Edition's bigger sibling? Yes but mainly in the sense Gold is aimed at larger devices and Pocket Edition at 8" touch screen devices
- Just tablets ? Pocket Edition is aimed at small tablets running Windows 10 or 8.1 (aka 'with Bing') but is not restricted to just small tablets.
- Large screens Gold takes advantage of GPU features to improve the 3D for use on larger screens. Tablet screens do not need these features
- Dual Graphics Pocket Edition will work on laptops with dual graphics chips but Gold has features to help get the best out of them
- Support from M'n'G designs You get the same free support but only for 6 months with Pocket Edition
- Same technology Both programs use the same base code, so use the same technology.
Pocket Edition is not a previous version - Same customer files Both porgrams use the same file format, so data can be easily used in Gold. However a mixed environment is not encouraged
- Multiple installations ? Gold license specifically allows you to install on multiple machines but the dongle is required to run the program on a specific machine. Pocker Edition is licensed for a single machine. We reserve the right to change how this license difference is enforced
- Change when you want There is no penalty - you simply pay the 'difference' between what you own and what you require.
- Considerably Cheaper SuperView Pocket Edition has the main features required but is cheaper than our main program and considerably cheaper than our competitors
- Options to design using special Accessibility features Gold has a Mobility option for Bathrooms and Kitchens
- Free Form Items There is an extensive library of shapes in Pocket Edition but you can not "build your own"
- Snippets Gold allows you to save a group of items (a snippet) for reuse in another design
- Feature Doors or Colour Sets You have a choice of styles, colours and materials but the whole design is in the same one
- Elevation views Perspectives (from anyview point) and plans are included in Pocket Edition but elevations are not
- Reflections Reflections and gloss effects are available as an option
- Printing Since these tablets have restricted RAM you cant directly print the 3D but you can save it as a jpeg picture
- Wardrobes are fixed height Bedroom wardrobes have a fixed height door not variable as in SV25 Gold
- Single floor level All floor mounted units are on a single level floor (cf SV25 Gold's multiple levels)
- Limited Export facilities You can print out information but not save it for use in other programs
This list is not exhaustive but is intended to show the main differences - please ask for a full list.
