Navigating the iGUIDE 3D tour

You can move through an iGUIDE tour in two main ways:

  1. Click the halos that appear within the tour view to advance to the next scan point
  2. Select the green scan points on the floor plan to jump directly to that location

Once at a scan point, click and drag to rotate the full 360-degree image, giving you a complete view of everything captured from that position.

What each section contains:
