Overall, I’m glad this app exists as it was key to choosing Chief Architect that I be able to show and share models. Support for saved walkthroughs would be nice. It really takes away some awkwardness when showing models to others and having them gather around your iPad if you’re not in a position to mirror your screen. Along these lines, the floor navigation in the floor plan is really just a cross section height adjustment and is difficult to control. I’d like to be able to see notes I made on my desktop as text boxes. It would be great if we could also control the layers to hide or show them. Next, there should be a floor plan view that mimics the view in Chief Architect instead of only having the textured floor plan. There are games I play that seem to use much more complex polygons, textures and lighting that run faster than the models in this app. There’s only so much you can take out after all.

Most importantly, I frequently get out of memory errors when loading models even after I’ve attempted to optimize. Since your review we have added a feature to see a floorplan view of your model. Thank you for your review and feature requests.

I can't wait to see where this app goes from this moment. I'm not saying it needs to be exactly like BIMx but even the option of loading your 3D model along with a separate tab that also allows you to load your 2D construction documents would go a long way when talking to clients in a real world situation. It allows you to view your design in 3D or 2D plans. 2 dimensional plans are equally important when discussing layout and flow of an area.Īn app that does this flawlessly is BIMX. When sitting in front of a client you don't always need a 3D model. It's very impressive in front of clients.but it's way behind on going between a 3D view and a 2 dimensional floor plan. It does a very good job of allowing you to view your design in 3D mode. I was super excited to learn about this app.

Let me start off by saying that I love chief architect. walk thru allowing you to physically walk A great service if you are a professional builder/designer and want to share a virtual model with your clients. To view models with 3D Viewer, export the original model with saved cameras from Chief Architect software to the cloud (provided by Chief Architect) and open the model using 3D Viewer. Use a virtual reality headset to immerse yourself in the model. Walk or Fly through designs and experience exterior, room, cross section, and floor plan views. Visualize and navigate home projects before they are built using the Sojourn 3D virtual reality navigation tools. 3D Viewer – A virtual reality viewer for 3D models exported from Chief Architect software.
