Presentations and tours

Save camera views as tour stops and share a link that opens your design as a 3D presentation, with walk-through, room list and mini-map.

A presentation link opens your design in a 3D viewer that anyone can use in a browser, with no account or install. The whole design is packed into the link itself, so nothing is uploaded to a server. Saved eye-level views become the stops of a guided tour.

Set up the tour

  1. Open the Views panel. Switch to Split or 3D.
  2. Click Walk in the 3D view, stand where you want a stop and click Save current 3D view. Views taken in Walk mode are marked Eye level; views taken in Orbit are marked Overview.
  3. Rename each view, and use the up and down arrows to set the order. Eye-level views become tour stops in this order.
  4. Use Go to to check a view, or the bin to delete it.

If you save no eye-level views, the tour visits each room from its best corner.

Share it

  1. Click Share in the top bar.
  2. Click Copy next to Presentation link. The window shows the link's size.
  3. To show it on a website, copy the code under Embed on a website.
  4. Click Open the presentation to check it yourself.

What viewers see

  • Overview to orbit the design, and Walk through to move between stops.
  • Start the tour, buttons for the stops, and Previous stop and Next stop arrows.
  • A Plan mini-map in walk mode showing where they are. They can tap markers on the floor to move.
  • A lighting choice on larger screens, and Open in Studio to make their own editable copy.

Tips and limits

  • The link is a snapshot. After changing the design, copy a new link.
  • Large designs make long links. If a link is too long for where you want to post it, send the project file instead.
  • Hosted links with passwords are in development.
