We recommend saving panoramic images as JPG. While keeping up a good image quality, JPG files are way smaller than PNG images. As an example: A panorama of a specific interior scene created with OSPRay in a height of 1024 pixel has a file size of approximately 580 kB as a JPG. Saved as a…

I have created Multi Content Pictures (images of the EIMG file type) with pCon.planner. Which app do I need to view these images?

It is possible that the setting for paper size selection in pCon.planner gets in conflict with the plotter’s paper selection settings.

We recommend creating them next to one another on the zero level. This way, you can maximize clarity and navigate more quickly through adjacent levels. You also have the option to place each story on top of the other. When doing so, please keep the following in mind:

For detailed 3D visualization and large plans, pCon.planner requires optimal graphic support. Please ensure that your graphics hardware fulfills our system requirements. We also recommend that you always install the latest drivers for your graphics card.

You inserted an object, such as a drawing element or a piece of furniture, into your plan. When you then change to a different view, you notice that the object is not at the desired location.

When planning, you use many dialogs – both free-floating and docked (a non-movable part of the program interface). In the case of free-floating windows, they may disappear for 2 reasons:

Backup files ensure that your plans are not lost should pCon.planner crash.

pCon.planner automatically creates a backup file for your current plan – as long as you haven’t disabled this option in the Program Settings. We recommend leaving the automatic creation of backup files enabled.

When printing view ports in the Layout area and in Print Preview, the High Quality Printing option is enabled by default. A mixed process is used for printing: visible lines, edges, dots, hatching and fonts are based on vectors. With vector printing, these elements remain sharp, even when greatly enlarged. Colors and textures are printed as images.

The cause of this is often inadequate graphics hardware. Please check if you have an integrated onboard solution (integrated graphics card) in use. This graphics solution is not recommended when working with pCon.planner. Generally speaking, these do not have their own graphics memory and their performance with 3D is usually below average.

pCon.planner offers a compatibility mode to support onboard systems. To activate this mode, proceed as follows.
