Palette Home: accurate room design with laser measurement
The online designer for bathrooms and living areas is very easy to embed in your website as an interactive configurator which your clients can access with a single click. This innovative software allows your potential clients to put their ideas down on “digital paper” at home and in their own time, without paying a penny. And to make sure your designs are accurate from the very start, the Palette Home app features our laser measurement functionality, which is the easy and above all reliable way to transfer data from the laser range finder straight to the Palette Home app. The draft designs, plus the all-important contact details and an item list, can then be sent by email. It’s easy to import the data into the full version of Palette CAD, and these initial ideas form the basis for your first consultation with the client. So Palette Home allows you to get on board with your clients’ projects much more quickly, reducing your workload and making clear to them that you’re an expert working with expert software.
The 3D online designer: for all kinds of rooms
Palette Home is an easy-to-use online designer that’s perfect for making quick, initial drafts, even for beginners with no previous experience. When visiting your website, your clients can follow a step-by-step guide to designing a bathroom or living area. Once the room dimensions have been set and windows, doors and interior walls have been positioned, the rooms can then be furnished exactly how they want them using the wide and practical range of items and surfaces for walls and floors.
Sanitary equipment, furniture, stoves and fireplaces can be dragged & dropped into the room with the intuitive software, and then your client can explore the room in an animated, photo-realistic 3D visualization. Next, they can design the wall and floor coverings they want. Which tiles suit the room? How does the room look with parquet or a carpet? Will they go for bold colours or a classically simple design?
This is when your expertise is needed – so it’s good that you’re just a few clicks away and thanks to Palette Home can see what they’ve come up with to offer your professional opinion .

FAQ
Did you download the Palette Home app and do you have questions regarding the app or your scenes? Or have you purchased one of the subscriptions and are unsure about how to access or use the purchased features?
This is exactly why we have put together the following information, which may answer your questions.
And if not, we look forward to helping you personally.
To save your designs, click on the disk icon in the planning window at the bottom right of the screen. In the save menu provide the file with a name finally save it with the button "Save As".
It is currently not possible to print designs in Palette Home from mobile devices.
Printing in the web / browser version is only activated in paid versions.
You can increase the number of save slots in the Android and iOS app. Depending on which subscription you choose, you can unlock 15 or 50 save slots. There is also a subscription to purchase storage space and access to our Palette Cloud. Your designs are stored securely in our Cloud and can be accessed across different mobile devices and across operating systems.
With the browser version, the browser manages the saved files itself. Your files can be deleted, if the browser cleans up old files or you manually clear the browser cache. If you have activated increased security settings in the browser, which cause the browser to clear the cache when you exit the program, it is possible that your save files will be deleted.
We also provide Palette Home as a free app on the Google Play and iOS App stores. With these versions, your files are managed by the app and are only lost if the app is uninstalled, or the app is reset to the default factory settings.
You can also purchase access to our Palette Cloud within the apps via an in-app subscription. The saved files can then be stored safely in the cloud and accessed across different devices and platforms.
With the browser version, you should also make sure that you are using the same browser and the same profile. Because every browser only “sees” the files that have been created with this browser and with the respective profile.
This can have many different reasons:
On the one hand, it is possible that the browser is no longer receiving enough memory from the operating system. This can happen if you have many browser tabs opened at the same time, especially many tabs with the web planner. Falls Sie viele Tabs offen haben, dann schließen Sie einige davon.
On the other hand, locally cached files may be corrupted or out of date.
The browser cache is a kind of intermediate storage for Internet pages. When you visit a website, parts of the website (e.g., images, CSS, or JavaScript files) are saved on the user's hard drive.
If you come back to the same website later, you no longer have to download all the parts of the page again. Instead, the browser can access the files in the cache and display the page faster.
To fix this error, try forcefully reloading the page. For example, with ctrl + F5.
If that does not help, you will have to clear the browser cache. The downside to this, is that any existing save files will also be deleted.
