Save the 3D view as a PNG picture in HD, Full HD or 4K. It uses the current camera angle and lighting, framed to fit the model, or exactly what you see when you are walking.
Export a 3D image

Orbit, Dollhouse or Walk
In Orbit and Dollhouse, the image keeps your camera angle and lighting and frames the whole model. In Walk, it saves exactly what the walk view shows, in its lighting. Use Walk for a shot from inside a room.
You can export a 3D image from the 2D plan too. FloorGen switches to 3D for the picture and comes back to the plan.
Questions
Why is the preview missing?
The preview can fail on some devices. The download still renders the current 3D view.
Can I hide the roof?
Yes. In Orbit, turn off Roof on the 3D bar before you export.
Can I export a 3D model instead of a picture?
Yes. The CAD and 3D tab exports a glTF model. See Export CAD and 3D files.
