E&S RAPIDsite Wins CADENCE Magazine's 1999 Editors' Choice Award.SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 9, 1999-- Evans & Sutherland's New Real Estate Visualization Using the computer to convert data into picture form. The most basic visualization is that of turning transaction data and summary information into charts and graphs. Visualization is used in computer-aided design (CAD) to render screen images into 3D models that can be viewed from all Software Included in Top Twenty CAD-Related Software and Hardware Products Evans & Sutherland (E&S(R)) (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities.

In singing the voice may be raised or lowered, or the singer may execute elaborate variations within the key. , has selected E&S RAPIDsite as a winner of the publication's 1999 Editors' Choice Awards. E&S RAPIDsite is the first and only true visualization tool designed expressly for in-context real estate visual impact analysis. Twice yearly, the CADENCE editors and Editorial Advisory Board members recognize the best new CAD-related hardware and software with the Editors' Choice Awards. Products are chosen from a broad range of PC-CAD options across all design disciplines, including architecture, mechanical design, civil engineering, GIS (1) (Geographic Information System) An information system that deals with spatial information. Often called "mapping software," it links attributes and characteristics of an area to its geographic location. , document management, and design collaboration over the Internet. "E&S is honored to be selected as a CADENCE Editors' Choice Award winner," said Robert Ard, E&S group vice president, Applications Group. "E&S RAPIDsite makes it quick and easy for civil engineers, land developers, and architects use their own CAD and GIS data, along with digital photography, to construct a 3D photo-realistic model of a proposed development site. "In addition, E&S RAPIDsite answers questions about the visual impact of the proposed project quickly and definitively, speeding up the development approval process and improving the quality of decisions." RAPIDsite features fast 3D-model construction and graphics rendering performance, as well as interactive exploration of a proposed development on a Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs. NT is the core technology in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (see Windows). Available in separate client and server versions, it includes built-in networking and preemptive multitasking. (R) computer with an OpenGL graphics accelerator A display adapter that performs a specialized set of graphics functions to render an image on screen. Today, all display adapters provide basic rendering functions in hardware, but many have graphics processing units (GPUs) that are sophisticated computers. . Cost effective and easy-to-use, this new tool enables the development of a photo-realistic model of a site and its surroundings, new and existing buildings, and new and existing landscape in a fraction of the time required by other visualization tools. "This innovative simulation product from Evans & Sutherland, one of the leaders in 3D graphics hardware and software visualization Software visualization (Diehl, 2002; Knight, 2002) is concerned with the static or animated 2-D or 3-D (Marcus et al., 2003) visual representation of information about software systems based on their structure (Staples & Bieman, 1999), size (Lanza, 2004), history (Girba et al, , is designed to enable users to easily create a detailed, photo-realistic model of proposed urban and suburban development projects," said Arnie Williams, CADENCE editor-in-chief. "Like our other award winners, E&S continues to push the envelope in terms of what they deliver at reasonable cost."
