Awning Composer®

The idea is simple. Instead of asking customers to imagine an awning, you show it to them. That's the promise of Awning Composer - without the need for CAD experience, take a picture of your customer's building and use pre-built 3D models of different shade structures to show your customer exactly what their shade structure will look like.
