Qonic November Release Notes 2026
You model, agents scale. With this release, Qonic AI agents find, check and update your model for you, straight from the chat. Walls get a completely new approach, built on components instead of fixed types. And you can set out your own grids and change them when the project does.

New Capabilities
1. Qonic AI: agents that find, check and update your model
In most BIM software, AI is another disconnected layer. It finds problems and leaves the fixing to you. Qonic AI brings large language models straight into your model. Its agents find, check and update elements directly, using Qonic’s own tools: completing missing properties, building reports, editing geometry and more. You stay in control. Human when it matters, AI when it helps.
Open the chat in the bottom left corner and type a question the way you’d ask a colleague. Not sure where to start? The helper section suggests what you can ask, from showing and hiding elements to checking your data. So a project manager who has never built a filter can get answers directly.
Want the details? Read how Qonic AI works in our help centre.
- Find and show: ask Qonic to isolate all furniture and colour it by level, and it does both in one go. Press 0 to reset your view and clear all highlights.
- Check your data: ask whether all windows have a fire rating, and Qonic tells you which ones are missing it and selects them for you.
- Fix your data: tell it to assign F60 to those windows, and it finds the right property and fills in the value.
- Build reports: ask for a concrete quality report grouped by building and concrete type, and Qonic sets it up in the Report panel. Adjust the grouping and filters by hand, or simply ask again.
- Edit and create geometry: make selected windows 3.5 metres wider, or model a building or facade from prompts and reference images. Anything you can do through the interface, you can do by asking.
- Any model: because Qonic runs on open IFC, Ask Qonic works on models from any authoring tool.
- Choose your AI model: pick Sonnet, Opus or Astra, depending on how much reasoning the task needs.
- Tokens: Qonic AI runs on tokens, and every paid plan comes with a monthly allowance that grows with your plan. Subscribe to Qonic and put Qonic AI to work on your own models, alongside everything else your plan includes. Need more tokens? Top up anytime with a one-off pack from €50. Bought tokens never expire. You can check your balance under Plans and billing in the dashboard. See plans and pricing.
2. A new way to model walls
In most BIM software, the layers of a wall are locked inside its type. Qonic takes a different approach. Walls are built from components instead of constrained families, so you can keep shaping them. Work on any layer of a single wall, split it, cut through it, align to it or flip it, while the wall stays linked to its component. Turn any wall into a component, including walls imported from IFC or Revit, and reuse it straight away.
- Any wall becomes a component: right-click any wall in your model and turn it into a reusable wall component, without setting up a single parameter. Store it in a component library, then drag it into the model to start drawing with it.
- Work layer by layer: split a layer, change its thickness, cut an opening through just one layer, or add a new one, all on a single wall.
- Align to any layer: align a wall along its centre, left or right, or along a single layer such as the brick skin. Change the alignment or flip the layers at any time after placing.
- Bend and reshape: move endpoints, hold Ctrl to edit a single segment, or bend a straight wall into an arc.
- Adaptive Component Linking: change a wall’s height or length, or cut an opening in it, and it stays linked to its component. Only a change to the build-up, such as adding a layer, makes it a modified instance.
- Variants: turn a modified wall into a new variant of its component, for example the same wall with 2 cm of plaster, and draw with it straight away.
- Wall Replacement: replace existing walls with a new variant in one go, including walls in imported models.
We’ll keep extending the Wall Tool with every release. Got an idea or a workflow you’d like to see? Let us know.
3. Extended Language Support
A model is only useful if the whole team can work with it, and on many projects that team works in more than one language. The full Qonic interface, both the dashboard and the app, is now available in English, Dutch, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Japanese and Traditional Chinese. Missing your language? Let us know and we’ll look into it.
4. MCP: bring your own AI assistant
Already working with Claude Code or Codex? Through the Qonic MCP server, your assistant can look up your projects and models, query elements and calculate quantities, export to IFC, change elements and manage library items. Keep Qonic open in your browser, and your assistant can work directly in the model you’re looking at, so you can follow what it’s doing.
- Safe by design: your assistant only does what your role allows, and its changes stay as your personal changes until you publish them.
- No Qonic tokens: working through MCP doesn’t use Qonic tokens, as your assistant’s own provider bills its usage.
- Getting started: our help centre walks you through connecting your assistant step by step.
Feature Additions
Modelling
- Grids from chalk curves: draw lines and arcs with the Chalk tool, move or rotate them however you like, and turn them into a grid you can snap to. Irregular and rotated grids are now as easy to set out as rectangular ones.
- Grid editing: hold Ctrl to select a single grid axis, including in imported grids, and move or rotate it with the Transform tool.
Libraries
- Multi-select and copy library items: select several materials or types at once with Shift, copy them, and paste them into another project. Set up your standards once, and reuse them wherever you need them. Support for more kinds of library items, such as components, will follow.
Drawings
- Improved live preview: see a clearer preview of your drawing while you set it up.
- Door swings: choose whether door swings appear in your drawings with a new checkbox in the drawing generation preset.
- Remembered presets: Qonic now remembers the last preset you used to generate drawings.
- View link: open the view a drawing was generated from, straight from the drawing.
Data and QTO
- Improved calculators: more accurate calculations for space areas and reinforcing bar lengths, straight from your live model data.
Interoperability
- BCF export: select issues in the Issues panel and export them to BCF, ready to pick up in your coordination tool of choice.
Visualisation
- Visualisation improvements: a round of visual refinements that make your model look better in 3D.
Platform
- Archive projects: archive projects you’re no longer working on to keep your dashboard tidy, without deleting them.
- Split breadcrumb dropdown: a clearer breadcrumb menu makes it quicker to move between projects and models.
Core Stability
A round of fixes across the dashboard, drawings and access.
Dashboard
- Fixed project images not fitting inside dialogs and restored the estimated size dropdown
- Hid the project limit banner on the free plan
- Fixed feature lock issues
Drawings
- Drawings are now saved only after you edit their content
- Grid mode is now off when you open the drawing editor
- Drawings are now unlocked on sample projects and your first projects
Access and security
- The model access request e-mail now opens the access dialog directly
- Patched vulnerable dependencies
That’s a wrap on this month’s updates. The best way to see what they can do is on your own project.
- Start for free: open your own model in the browser, with no hardware required, and see how Qonic handles it. Get started for free.
- Put Qonic AI to work: subscribe to any paid plan and get a monthly Qonic AI token allowance on top of everything your plan includes. See plans and pricing.
Already subscribed? Open a model you know well, ask Qonic AI something you’d normally have to dig for, and tell us what you think in the comments.
