Diagrams in 3D
You can render your diagrams in 3D to help your client visualize a 360-degree view of the customized meeting space for their event. Integration with a virtual tour program, such as Matterport, can further enhance the experience using a photorealistic view of the space.
For more information on Matterport, see Integrations.
What do you want to do?

In the navigation menu (

Select the Enable 3D functionality checkbox.

Complete the following to establish your property's 3D settings:
-
Define colors and textures for chairs, tables, and all other equipment. See Resources for more information.

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.
