The Standard Scaling Unit or Scaling Unit is relevant for objects with unknown scaling that have been inserted into pCon.planner. This can be set through the Application Menu. Click on Settings and switch to the Load tab.

If the option Always use this standard scaling unit is activated, the selected unit will be applied to the dimensions for 3D elements of unknown scale.

During the planning process, you may accidently break the connection between two walls. When this happens, you will recognize that the corners are no longer aligned, but form a gap instead. Often times, you will continue to work on the plan before you realize that the walls are no longer connected. Because of this, the Undo button will not usually solve the problem.

In comparison with a simple ceiling, the construction of a ceiling grid requires more time.

The reason for this lies in a variety of parameters that aren’t taken into account when creating a normal ceiling. One example is the customization of the longitudinal and transverse sides of a segment. The larger a ceiling grid is, the more complex this calculation process will be.

There are a number of possibilities offered in pCon.planner to help reduce the memory requirements of a planning and minimize the size of the file.

Check in pCon.planner whether the snap function for surfaces is disabled. Disabled Snap Points are usually the cause of this problem.

If graphic rendering problems can be excluded as a reason, you should check whether all layers are activated, using the Layer dialog. This is found by clicking the Layer symbol on the toolbar. This is how to influence whether a layer is visible.

The elements will also continue to be present in the views you are using, but they will only be displayed in a perspective or isometric view or for example in Front or Rear view. This is because they differ from three-dimensional objects in possessing no information on depth as they are two-dimensional. They will thus not always be shown in Top view or certain other 2D views.
