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.

Sharing Content: Settings

To share 3d models and AR content created in pCon.planner, the corresponding files are uploaded to a cloud storage. By default, pCon.planner uses its own internal sharing service for this purpose.

If needed, you can switch to a different cloud provider:

1.Open the Share Settings dialog (Presentation tab, Share group – see image).

2.Select the cloud provider for the upload of your content.

3.Confirm by clicking OK.
