What your client can do in a tour
Walking on a phone or computer, the floor plan, measuring, switching styles, saving a view and asking for a quote.
Your client needs only the link. The tour opens in any current browser on a phone, a tablet or a computer, and in VR headsets. The first time, a short card explains how to move.

Dollhouse view
Dollhouse view lifts your client above the space: the ceilings are cut away and the whole storey shows at once, with a marker where they stand. It is the quickest way to understand a layout before walking it.
- Drag to turn around the space; scroll, or pinch on a phone, to come closer.
- Tap the floor (or a piece of furniture) to walk to that spot at eye height.
- Esc or the button again goes back to walking where you were.
Accessibility
The tour can be used with the keyboard alone, the buttons have text labels for screen readers, and the space and style announce themselves when they change.
