A fresh take on your workflow: pCon.planner 8.16 is here
From the first room sketch to the final touches, good planning comes down to many small decisions. pCon.planner 8.16 expands your creative freedom, giving you greater control over layouts, AI-powered visualization, and the transition from planning to quotation.
Beyond these headline features, this release fine-tunes everyday tools and simplifies familiar tasks. Whether you are developing an idea, sharing your results, or bringing a concept to life, these refinements help you work efficiently and focus on what matters most: your design.

Bring your ideas to life in 3D and AR and let others discover your creations from a whole new perspective. Choose what to share, highlight the features that matter, and enrich the experience with product information and comments. You are in control of every detail, creating a more engaging way to present your work.

From article list to quotation, with fewer steps
Once you have selected your products, creating a quotation is the next step. With pCon.basket online as the main quotation solution in pCon, you can move directly from your article list to preparing an offer.
Choose the connection that fits your workflow: pCon.basket PRO, pCon.basket CE, or a custom connection via URL. To make the next step easier to find, Article List is now called Create Quote.
Make your data move
Your project contains more than just a drawing. With the update, you can take the input behind your plan to put it to work at the next stage.
The Model List makes it easy to retrieve models and articles from your project. Save them as CSV or Excel files and continue working with the data outside pCon.planner. Available in all editions, including standard, this feature follows the approach used in pCon.box and pCon.planner next.
The Article List also benefits from streamlined CSV and Excel functionality. With a simpler column structure and dedicated price fields that work independently of the calculation scheme, your data is easier to use and pass on. The format is aligned with pCon.basket and pCon.planner next for a consistent performance.
Level up your visuals
What once started as an idea can now become something extraordinary. AI Image Rendering gives you more creative freedom to explore, experiment and achieve results that bring your concepts to life. Combine multiple reference images in a single generation and let your inspiration come from every direction. From room photography and product shots to material samples, lighting moods and company logos, bring together the elements that define your desired look and let AI turn them into a compelling visual experience.
Every detail shapes the bigger picture. That’s why improved material preservation takes your renderings a step closer to your original design. Your selected finishes and surfaces retain more of their intended appearance, helping you achieve results that stay true to your choices while opening up exciting new creative possibilities.
And the experience doesn’t stop at rendering. Keep your AI usage within reach with a clear overview of your remaining balance and limits available directly from the user menu. Once your masterpiece is ready, take it beyond the screen and share it effortlessly via impress. Because great ideas deserve to be seen.
More control where it matters
Ready to place dimensions and objects at the right scale, effortlessly? The improved viewport tooling streamlines the process with greater precision. Drawing-area measurement units are now recognized within layout viewports, so annotations, objects, and labels automatically inherit the correct scale. Place elements directly with no manual math or extra tweaks and devote your time to refining your draft instead of managing technical details.
For even greater flexibility, refine without breaking your flow. Dimensioning becomes more flexible in both Model and Layout. Override text directly as you work, use the interactor for quick changes, and switch dimension styles even after you have started drawing.
A few more changes to keep in mind
- Pre-configuration dialogs simplify article setup, while larger icons make material selection easier
- Assign attributes now supports multi-selection of stamps across pages
- More precise results with the Property Editor filter.
- Refined material handling for simplified data creation.
