Updated 2 min readWorks without an account

Save the 3D camera angles you like as views, jump back to them with one click, and play them in order as a tour. You can record the tour as a .webm video.

Save a camera view

The 3-bed ranch in the 3D view, seen from above
  1. Step 1: Open the 3D view

    Press 3, or click 3D at the top right.

  2. Step 2: Frame the shot

    Turn, pan and zoom until the view looks right. Pick the lighting first if it matters for the shot.

  3. Step 3: Save it

    Click the camera button, Save this camera view, on the bar under the camera controls. The view appears beside it as a small picture.

Click a saved view to fly back to it. Views are saved with the project, up to 50 of them.

Rename, reorder or delete a view

Click the three dots beside a view for Rename…, Move earlier in tour, Move later in tour and Delete view. The tour plays the views in this order.

Play or record a tour

  1. Step 4: Save at least two views

    The tour buttons stay off until there are two views to move between.

  2. Step 5: Play the tour

    Click Play tour. The camera flies from view to view in order.

  3. Step 6: Or record it

    Click Record tour as video (.webm). When the tour ends, the video downloads and FloorGen shows Tour video saved as .webm. When your plan’s videos carry a FloorGen watermark, the tour video carries the same one as the walkthrough video.

  4. Step 7: Stop early

    Click Stop tour or Stop recording, or press Esc.

Questions

Why is there no record button?

In a browser that can’t record video, the record button isn’t shown and you can only play the tour. Try a recent Chrome, Edge or Firefox.

Does leaving the 3D view stop the tour?

Yes. Leaving the 3D view stops the tour, and a recording in progress is not saved.

Do other people see my saved views?

Yes. Views are saved in the project, so anyone who opens it sees them.
