Overview
The iGUIDE 3D Tour Viewer puts the 3D tour at the center of the experience while keeping every tool within easy reach. The same layout works across desktop and mobile, with adjustments for smaller screens. A hamburger menu consolidates navigation and settings, the floor plan panel stays clean and uncluttered, and navigation between scan positions happens through a dedicated overlay that helps you understand the property layout as you move through the space.

Navigation and the Hamburger Menu
The property address appears as a pill floating at the top of the viewer. All navigation and settings live in the hamburger menu (☰) in the top-right corner. From this menu you can access:
- Details
- Map
- Photos
- Tags
- Dimensions
- Measure
- Autoplay
- VR Mode
- Share
Consolidating these options into a single menu keeps on-screen visuals minimal and the focus on the 3D tour itself. The hamburger menu works the same way in the mobile viewer.
Tag List
The Tag List button expands a panel listing everything that has been marked as important within the tour. Each item in the list is a direct link — clicking it jumps you straight to that location or feature in the tour, so you can quickly revisit points of interest without navigating manually through the floor plan.
Dimensions
In addition to the point-to-point Measure tool, eligible tours support room dimensions directly on the 360° photo — including wall lengths, ceiling height, and the width and height of doors and windows.
To turn it on, open the menu icon in the top right corner and select Dimensions. Once enabled, a filter lets you narrow the view to show all measurements, or just walls, doors, or windows. Measurements are shown per room and update automatically as you move through the tour, displaying in metric or imperial based on your viewer settings.
Note that the overlay is off by default and only available on tours meeting certain requirements (PLANIX Pro/R1 capture with complete height data). For full details on eligibility and how measurements are generated, see Using Dimensions in Your iGUIDE Tour.
Measure Mode
The Measure tool, accessible from the hamburger menu, offers three distinct modes:
- Measurement Mode 1 — measure distances directly on the floor plan.
- Measurement Mode 2 — measure objects on a surface, such as the width of a countertop.
- Measurement Mode 3 — measure objects that aren't flush against a surface, such as sizing a painting on a wall by double-clicking on two corners.
Choose the mode that best matches what you're trying to measure. If you are looking for more information, check out our article on Using the Measurement Tool.
Units and Language Settings
Units and Language settings live in the hamburger menu under Settings. The Units toggle switches between Metric and Imperial globally, and a per-section toggle is also available in the Details tab. Language selection lives in the same Settings location. These settings are accessible from the mobile viewer's hamburger menu as well.
The Floor Plan Panel
The floor plan panel shows your location at a glance without visual clutter. An orange glow indicates your current position, and a floor selector sits at the bottom of the panel. Two additional buttons let you minimize the panel or expand it into a full-screen overlay.
To jump between panos, expand the floor plan. A pano overlay opens with blue dots marking every scan position and room labels visible across the plan. The 3D pano continues to move live in the background as you click around, helping you maintain orientation. Close the overlay when you're finished navigating.
You can also navigate directly from the 3D view. Click near a scan point on the pano image itself to walk forward through the property, without needing to open the floor plan overlay at all.
Keyboard Navigation
Viewers can now move through the tour with the keyboard, in addition to the mouse. Arrow keys look around a scene and step forward or backward between panos, so the tour works fully hands-on-keyboard.
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| Up / Down arrow | Move forward / backward |
| Left / Right arrow | Look left / right |
| Shift + Up / Down arrow | Look up / down |
| Cmd + Z / Y (Ctrl + Z / Y on Windows) | Undo / redo |
The full key list is also available in-viewer, in a Navigation Help panel.
Keyboard navigation is desktop only and doesn't change the mobile experience. It works alongside the mouse — click-to-move and drag-to-look are unchanged.
Floor Plan Downloads
Floor plan downloads are available from the full-screen floor plan overlay. Open the overlay and look for the Download button in the top-right corner. From there you can download:
- All floors as a PDF
- The current floor as a JPG
Viewer Icons
Fullscreen is represented as an icon in the bottom-right corner of the viewer for quick access. Measure, Share and VR are available from the hamburger menu
Agent Branding
When a tour loads, a banner for the agent representing the property appears automatically. It displays the agent's name, photo, and contact details. If you dismiss it, you can reopen it at any time using the person icon in the viewer. To access the banner information, click the small icon in the top left hand corner with the agents image visible.
Responsive Layout for Narrow Screens
The mobile viewer uses the same structure as desktop, with adjustments for smaller screens. On mobile devices and narrow desktop windows, the floor plan collapses into a small thumbnail in the bottom-left corner so the pano takes over the full screen. Tap the thumbnail at any time to bring up the full-screen floor plan overlay and navigate between scan positions. All hamburger menu items, settings, and floor plan downloads work the same way as they do on desktop.
Important Notes
- The hamburger menu (☰) is the primary entry point for navigation and settings
- The full-screen floor plan overlay is the main way to move between scan positions and access floor plan downloads
- The per-section Units toggle in Details works alongside the global toggle in Settings
- The mobile viewer mirrors the desktop layout, with adjustments suited to smaller screens
- Keyboard navigation (arrow keys, Shift for looking up/down, Cmd/Ctrl+Z/Y for undo/redo) is desktop only and works alongside the mouse
