# August 2026

A summary of everything new in laiout this month. Multiple camera angles for AI Renders, reusing your saved renders as references, self-service SSO, and more control over your exports.

## New features

{% hint style="success" %}
**Multiple Cameras for AI Renders - Set up several shots at once**

Place multiple cameras across your floor plan and generate renders from each, so you can capture a space from several angles in one pass rather than one at a time.

[See Generating AI Renders](/visualising-your-space/generating-ai-renders.md)
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
**Saved Renders as a Reference Image - Reuse a look you've already made**

Select one of your saved renders as the reference image for Select & Edit, so a new render can follow the style of one you have already produced.

[See Refining Renders](/visualising-your-space/refining-renders.md)
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
**SSO Self-Service - Set up single sign-on yourself**

Organisation admins can now configure single sign-on for their team directly, without needing to involve the laiout team.

[See Single Sign-On (SSO)](/organisation-settings/single-sign-on.md)
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
**Furniture Grouping on CAD Export - Cleaner DXF and DWG files**

Optionally group furniture into blocks when exporting to DXF or DWG, making the exported file tidier and easier to work with in CAD.

[See CAD / DXF Export](/sharing-and-exporting/cad-dxf-export.md)
{% endhint %}

## Improvements

{% hint style="info" %}
**Redesigned IFC Export - A clearer export dialog**

The IFC export dialog has been redesigned, and an issue where some models were missing from the export has been fixed.

[See IFC Export](/sharing-and-exporting/ifc-export.md)
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Area per Person in the Info Button - See density at a glance**

The info button now shows area per person (sqm per person) alongside your other key metrics.

[See Statistics & Metrics](/viewing-and-data/statistics-metrics.md)
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**AI Render Credits in Your Units - sqm or sqft**

AI Render credit usage now displays in your chosen unit, square metres or square feet, to match how you work.

[See Generating AI Renders](/visualising-your-space/generating-ai-renders.md)
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Ruler Toggle - Show or hide the ruler**

A new ruler toggle has been added to the show or hide elements settings, so you can turn the ruler on or off as you work.

[See Zone Editing Overview](/editing-your-layout/zone-editing-overview.md)
{% endhint %}
