Take a Photo or 2D Snapshot

Before you begin 

When can I take a snapshot? 

1. In the Inside view
2. In the Dollhouse view 
3. In the Floorplan view 
4. In 360º view

You cannot take a snapshot from a scan position, or a 360º view that's hidden - we recommend unhiding it first, then proceeding to take the snapshot.

5. Click, pan, pinch and hold the mouse button to frame the image.
6. Click the camera icon at the bottom of the page to take the image.

Rename the Snapshot
