Before you share a 3D rendering of the diagram with your client, you can add viewpoints. These viewpoints are used to set predetermined room vantage points. Viewpoints can have custom names and sort orders to help your client visualize the space from any direction. For example, if you want your client to see how the stage looks from the back row, or the bride and groom's view of the dance floor, you can use viewpoints. See Viewpoints for more information.

1. From the drawing canvas of your room plan or diagram, click View 3D ().

   • Use your keyboard arrow keys or the W, A, S, and D keys to walk through the room.

     See keyboard shortcuts for additional options.

   • Use your mouse pointer scroll wheel to zoom in or out.
