Wall planner
Walk through the room
The 3D walkthrough shows how the room works before a single picture is hung: sight lines, the distances between display cases, whether a partition wall blocks the view of the main wall. It is built from what is in the plan. There is nothing extra to model.
What the room needs
| In the plan | In the walkthrough |
|---|---|
| Walls with width and height, chained on the left and right | The walls of the room, with background and hung objects |
| Display cases and partition walls with a height, placed on a wall or floor plan | Bodies in the room, with the objects on their sides |
| Measured floor plan | The floor plan on the floor |
| Object with a 3D model, 3D switched on in the Selection tab | The model on the plan |
| Passage with counterpart | Opening into the neighbouring room |
How walls are chained is described in Create a plan .
Opening the walkthrough
You can open the walkthrough from any of these places:
- 3D walkthrough in the plan overview, which starts at the first chained wall,
- 3D walkthrough in the ⋮ menu of a wall’s card, which starts at that wall,
- 3D walkthrough in the header of the open plan, which starts at that plan.
From the plan library you open it through the ⋮ menu of a wall or the editor’s header, in which case the project’s objects are not shown.
Moving around
-
Walk with W, A, S, D or the arrow keys. Hold Shift to go faster.
-
Drag with the mouse button held down to look around.
-
To jump to a different spot, drag the marker on the minimap.
Eye level is 1.60 m.
Clicking objects
Clicking an object opens a card at the top with its image, Width, Height and Depth; the dimension lines appear in the room. Below them, a button opens the plan the object hangs on. The number on the card opens the object.
Clicking a wall or display case opens its plan directly.
Closing
Esc closes the walkthrough. The next time you open it, you are back where you were.
Nothing to walk means the plan has no width and height. If only a single wall stands in the room, it is usually not yet chained to its neighbouring walls.
