We are excited to announce the launch of our new photo render AI tools CabinetRender and StairRender.
We are providing these tools at no extra cost to highlight what’s now possible, especially if you’re new to the world of AI. It is no longer necessary to export to specialized rendering software or high cost add-on modules. Many are moving to using recognized AI in the background anyway.
We’ve created this simple guide on how to use our new tools.

PolyBoard 8.01j is now available to download.
This new update includes a helpful new direct furniture rotation function, activated by holding the left mouse button outside the furniture area (but still within the furniture viewport) thus eliminating the need to manually change the viewing angle.
The update also includes updated PolyBoard labels to make them more user-friendly for those who only use PolyBoard without OptiCut or OptiNest, as well as various software optimizations.
