Room Planner Help

• Tap the Room View button to create a 3D view of your plan’s interior. The camera is initially positioned in the center of the model.
• Tap the Perspective View button to create a 3D view of your plan’s exterior. The camera is initially positioned above the model, and offset from its center.
• To reset the initial camera position in 3D, tap the 3D button while a 3D view is open.
• To return to the 2D plan view, tap the 2D button. To reset the initial camera position in 2D, tap the 2D button while a 2D view is open.

In 3D views, standard gestures can be used to zoom in and out as well as pan and rotate around the model. In a Room View, you can also zoom and pan using the thumbsticks.

• Hold your device in both hands in landscape orientation.
• Move the camera to the left, right, forward, or backwards without changing its view direction using the Move thumbstick.
• Rotate the camera in any direction without changing its position using the Rotate thumbstick.
• When the Camera Gyro tool is on, you can rotate the camera by tilting or rotating your device; however, the Rotate thumbstick can only be used to rotate side to side. See Chief Architect^® Sojourn^® for more information.

• The Walk Through Model feature lets you navigate your on-screen drawing the way you would a real room: by walking.
• Tap the Camera Gyro button, then tilt or rotate your device to change your camera’s direction and look around your model. Camera Gyro is activated whenever Walk Through Model is turned on.
• The Change Camera Height option gives the experience of flying through the model, either by walking or using the thumbsticks.
• Tap the Background Camera button, then look through a window in your plan to see live real-world views.

In Room View, the Mini-Map window at the top left corner of the screen shows the 2D Plan View. The camera’s position and direction are represented by a blue arrow, providing a sense of its location within your plan.

• Pinch in the Mini-Map to zoom the Plan View in or out.
• Tap once in the Mini-Map to move your camera to that location.
• When you rotate the camera, the Mini-Map will rotate as well. You can disable this by tapping the Settings button and selecting Views.
• You can also turn the Mini-Map off and on in Settings.
• The Mini-Map is only available on devices that are 5 inches or greater in size.

Objects placed from the Library in Plan View can be moved and deleted in 3D views. If you prefer, you can turn off 3D Editing by tapping the Settings button.

You can also apply Materials to walls, floors, ceilings, and other object surfaces.
