Frequently Asked Questions
Program Types & Selection
What program types does Qbiq offer for space planning?
Qbiq offers three main program types: Concept, Detailed, and Rendering Suite. The Concept program is best for early-stage projects with general ideas or tenant requirements, requiring minimal input for quick visualization. The Detailed program is suited for projects with defined requirements or multi-floor layouts, allowing customization of amenities, dimensions, and layout placement. The Rendering Suite is designed for generating 3D video tours from pre-designed, furnished floor plans, focusing on visualization for marketing purposes. Note: Multi-floor projects require the Detailed program for submission. Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.
How do I select a program type when starting a new project in Qbiq?
After creating and naming a new project in Qbiq, you will be directed to the program category screen to choose your program type. This selection determines how you approach your floor plan design and visualization based on your specific requirements. For step-by-step instructions, see the Create a New Project guide. Note: The Rendering Suite skips the floor plan design phase and is best for marketing-ready visualizations. Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.
What are the main differences between Concept, Detailed, and Rendering Suite program types?
The Concept program is ideal for early-stage projects and requires minimal input, allowing Qbiq's AI to generate customizable layouts quickly. The Detailed program is for projects with specific requirements or multi-floor layouts, offering full control over amenities, dimensions, and placement. The Rendering Suite is used for creating 3D visualizations from ready-made floor plans, skipping the design phase and focusing on marketing outputs. Note: Multi-floor projects must use the Detailed program. The Rendering Suite has fewer steps and is not suitable for projects needing new floor plan designs. Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.
Can I change the program type after starting a project?
Yes, you can request to change the program type after starting a project. For guidance, refer to the article Can I ask to change the Rendering Suite to a different alternative?. Note: Changing program types may affect available features and workflow steps. Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.
