Viewing & Sharing Models
3D Viewer models are exported from your Chief Architect or Home Designer desktop software and saved in your Chief Architect cloud account. You can include saved cameras to highlight particular details of the model, from color schemes in the living room to cabinet layout in the kitchen. From your Chief Architect cloud account you can then view, share, or even embed the 3D Viewer model on a web page. For more information about exporting, sharing, and embedding your models, please see our 3D Viewer support articles: for Chief Architect | for Home Designer.
Augmented Reality (AR)
With the Augmented Reality mode, you can place your 3D model in the real world and explore in detail by rotating, zooming or walking around. To view a 3D model in AR, use any horizontal surface such as a table, countertop or floor, then tap to place it when the AR surface grid appears.
