In the world of interior design and furniture manufacturing, Promob Plus 2015 remains a significant milestone for professionals who need a balance between visual presentation and technical precision. One of the most critical aspects of this workflow is the "render cut"—a dual-purpose concept that refers to both the high-quality rendering of designs for clients and the integration with cutting plans (Promob Cut) for production. The Power of Rendering in Promob Plus 2015
The rendering engine in Promob Plus 2015 allows designers to transform 3D wireframes into photo-realistic images. This is essential for selling a project, as it helps clients visualize textures, lighting, and spatial layouts before a single piece of wood is cut.
Dynamic Views: Users can navigate to the Tools menu and select Dynamic View to simulate a real-world perspective. This tool allows you to save specific "cut" views of a room, which are perfect for showing tight spaces like kitchen corners or walk-in closets.
Material Customization: To achieve a professional render, you can modify the properties of any object—changing materials to effects like concrete or raw eggshell finishes—to ensure the final image looks authentic.
Lighting Optimization: For a high-quality "cut" through a dark room, adding a ceiling and configuring internal light points (often with intensities between 0.2 and 1.20m from the floor) is recommended to avoid flat, unrealistic results. Bridging Design and Production: The "Cut" Integration
While "render" refers to the visual, "cut" in Promob Plus 2015 often refers to the Promob Cut or Cut Pro plugin. This integration ensures that what you render is exactly what gets manufactured.
Automatic Cutting Plans: Once a design is finalized, Promob Plus can automatically generate a cutting plan, optimizing the use of wood sheets to reduce waste.
Exporting to Manufacture: Users can send their projects directly to Promob Cut via the File menu. This process exports technical documentation, including exact measurements and DXF files for CNC operations.
Real-Time Edits: Any changes made in the 3D environment for the render are instantly reflected in the cutting list, ensuring that documentation and visual presentation stay synchronized. Essential Shortcuts for Efficient Workflows
Mastering shortcuts can significantly speed up the process of setting up renders and preparing cut plans: F3: Show or hide the render area. Ctrl + X: Standard "Cut" command for objects. Ctrl + Shift + R: Render a specifically selected entity. Ctrl + E: Queue a render using the Render Up plugin. Summary of Benefits Promob Plus 2015 render cut
Using the "render cut" workflow in Promob Plus 2015 allows manufacturers to: Cut Pro - Promob Plus Integration
In Promob Plus 2015, the "Render Cut" typically refers to the workflow of moving a 3D design into the cutting optimization phase (Promob Cut) or generating rendered technical views for production. 📐 Integration with Promob Cut
To move from your 3D design to a cutting plan in the 2015 version, follow these steps:
Send to Cut: Use the Send to Promob Cut tool to export all cabinet parts and dimensions directly to the optimizer.
Export File: If the cutting software is on a different machine, click Export to file to generate a *.planner or compatible file.
Selection: Use the Options menu to select specifically which environments or rooms you want to export for cutting. 🖼️ Rendering for Technical Views
For high-quality visual representation of your cuts and assemblies:
Scene Setup: Choose your desired angle and adjust lighting (typically central lights and floor points) before hitting render.
Material Finishing: Access the Registry - Materials menu to set specific finishes (like gloss or matte) so the rendered cut looks realistic. In the world of interior design and furniture
Dynamic View: Use the Dynamic View tool to reverse target/observer positions for internal cabinet renders. 📝 Documenting the Cuts
Once rendered or calculated, you can finalize the production guide:
PDF Export: Use File > Print PDF to save technical drawings and cutting lists.
Image Export: Use File > Export > Image to save rendered views of specific cabinet cuts for assembly manuals.
DXF Generation: If you have the Editor plugin, you can generate DXF files for CNC machining of individual parts.
💡 Pro Tip: If your renders look dark, try adding 4 points of light at a height of 1.20m from the floor with an intensity of ~0.2. If you'd like, let me know:

If the "cut" is actually objects disappearing at a certain distance, this is a clipping plane issue, not a render cut.
F6 (Render Config) or find Clipping Planes under View menu.A sneaky cause of the render cut is when your project contains objects created in millimeters mixed with objects imported in centimeters or meters. Promob Plus 2015 sometimes misinterprets the global scene scale, pushing the "virtual camera" to a position where its far plane is inside the geometry.
While Promob Plus 2015 was stable for its time, the render cut issue is a sign of aging architecture. Modern versions (Promob Professional 2023/2024) are 64-bit and handle complex scenes without cutting. If your business depends on quality renders, consider a subscription upgrade.
Final Tip: Always save your project before hitting the render button. Old software is unpredictable—treat every render like it might fail.

Disclaimer: Promob Plus 2015 is legacy software no longer supported by the developer. Some solutions involve manual file editing. Always back up your project files before proceeding.
Ironically, a very wide or tall custom render size can trigger the cut.
