Walkthrough together

Walk through the building at eye level, alone or with others.

In a walkthrough you stand in your plan as in the finished building, as a figure at eye level. You move as in a game. You can walk alone or invite others and look at rooms and objects together.

Start a walkthrough

Choose Walkthrough in the switch at the top (next to 2D, 3D and Drawings) or press 5. You stand in the largest room of the ground floor.

2D, 3D or Drawings in the switch, or Leave walkthrough in the menu, take you back.

Moving

Click into the view: the mouse then belongs to the walkthrough, and you look around with it.

In the menu you set the light and the mouse sensitivity, invite others or leave. Resume or a click into the view takes you back.

On phones and tablets you turn by dragging one finger over the view. The arrows at the bottom left walk, the round button jumps. Tapping a door opens or closes it, tapping elsewhere shows everyone the spot.

Invite others

  1. Click Invite in the walkthrough. This works for plans in your account.
  2. Enter the name the others will see and click Share walkthrough.
  3. Copy the link and pass it on.

Whoever opens the link enters a name and is in, even without an account. You see each other as figures in your own colour, with the name above. Up to 8 people can take part at once. The link is valid for 4 hours.

Look together

  • Point out a spot: Aim the cross-hair at a wall, a piece of furniture or the floor and press F. Everyone sees a ring there with your name.
  • Doors: Whoever opens or closes a door does so for everyone. Whoever joins later finds it that way.
  • React: The symbols in the bar let a reaction rise above your figure.
  • Follow: Click a name in the bar. Your view then goes along with that person. As soon as you walk yourself, you stop following.

Show the current state and end

Guests see the plan as it was saved when you invited them, and cannot change anything. If you have changed the plan since, Show current state in the invite window shows everyone the new version. End for everyone ends the walkthrough for all, and the link stops working.
