In pCon.planner 8.12, sharing your designs with impress has become even easier and more powerful. With just a few clicks, you can share individual products, entire room layouts, or custom objects – either as 3D models in the browser or in Augmented Reality (AR) on a smartphone. In this tutorial, we'll show you step-by-step how to create a share link, how to display product information, and how impress can support your daily design and customer communication processes. |
The service is based on the connection to a cloud server. For this feature, you are able to choose which cloud provider you would like to use. More information in the Share chapter.
CAD Models are uploaded from pCon.planner onto the Cloud. You will receive a concrete link you can share. The link can be passed on, giving others the ability to view the model online quickly and without the need to open further applications or navigate through the presentation.
