Take a Photo or 2D Snapshot

Before you begin 

Where 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 - unhide it first, then proceeding to take the snapshot.
