In 2017 I did my first pax design using the ikea planner with great success. The planner was incredibly useful and offered many features for creating a spot on room or space type blueprint. options for building walls, allowing for various wall heights, floor types, ceiling heights, adding windows and floor vents or baseboards… Fast forward to last couple months - designing a new pax project yet it seems the IKEA Pax Planner has had an update since the last time I have used it. Doesn’t seem to have or i can’t find options for the room itself. “Start from Scratch” option is a very generic room. Without all the specs of the room im struggling with getting an accurate plan. I tried the Room Planner app- paid version with trial. It has all the features for an accurate rendering and a great 3D walkthrough - plus you can add furniture including brands such as ikea and the pax- however it only has one pax style - without doors. Dimensions can be adjusted but not ideal.

So rendering in room planner is great- But isn’t the ikea app which is customizable for pax items & accessories- or add to cart, shopping list, or $total

Anyone have any tips on updated ikea pax storage planner to get better room rendering? Or another design app which has a thorough pax catalog ?

Unfortunately going into store to work with ikea designer in person isn’t an option. Thank you in advance

Hi All

Am I going crazy or with the “new” (non flash) Pax Planner, am I unable to input room dimensions?

Can’t work out how to do it and I’m normally good with this sort of stuff

In early March, I made a design in the PAX planner that I was ready to pull the trigger on in early May. Every time I tried to open it, I get the frustratingly unspecific error page pictured here. After a live chat that made me pull my hair out, I gave up, figured that they expire after 2 months (which would be a dumb decision) and tried to redesign it from memory.

I got to a design that made me and the boss happy, and even generated two different codes (one with a more expensive option for us to consider). I went to send it today to the contractor who will be installing and "building it in", and neither code is working today. This was 6 days ago! It can't be expired. What gives?

Can anyone else get the PAX planner to open their older designs?
