Three Ways to Engage
DigiDigz is a feature-rich platform with new abilities to interact with digital property replicas for many good reasons. However, most real estate buyers simply want a quick look at a 3D floor plan. DigiDigz plans open by default in View Only mode, providing dollhouse and multiple floor views and basic information such as room types and dimensions. Edit Mode gives users added abilities to decorate the virtual space and arrange 3D models of furnishing products, and Renovation Mode enables minor renovations.
DigiDigz opens in View Only Mode by default.

Decorate & Visualize
It is recommended that you decorate and renovate the plan in either Dollhouse or Floor Plan View, then ‘Walk Inside’ to visualize the space. Zoom and Pan features have been disabled in Walk Inside mode to better simulate an actual walkthrough.

Double click any object to zoom in and place it at the centre of your screen. This will keep the object at the centre of the screen as you make changes, and is useful for viewing fabric and texture options.
Click outside the plan or hit escape to deselect the object.
To move a product within the floor layout, simply left-click-HOLD (2 SECONDS) and drag the the product to its desired location.
To rotate product, left-click-hold and use the scroll wheel. Scroll upwards to rotate the object clockwise, and downwards for counter-clockwise rotation.
Users can quickly delete any unwanted object in their design by selecting the item and clicking the delete button at the left of the screen.
Users can quickly duplicate objects in their floorplan by selecting the item and then clicking the duplicate button to the left of the screen. The item will replicate itself at a position slightly offset from the original object.
When you select an object and the animate button appears at the top of the screen, it means the object has added functionality. For example, it might show the lighting effect of turning a light fixture on or off, or how a chair might recline, or open/close a door. In most cases the same effect can be achieved by double clicking the object.
