Snapshots of your 3D floor plan model

Once your model looks right, you can save a picture of it straight from the browser — no export, no other software. There are two kinds, and they cost you differently.

Snapshot#

Exactly what you see on screen, saved as a PNG. Your view, your camera angle, your furniture. Your own browser makes it, so it is instant and free and unlimited on every plan — take as many as you like, from any floor.

Realistic snapshot#

The same view, shot like the real thing: real materials, real daylight, real shadows. Same rooms, same walls, same openings — nothing is added or invented. One click, one picture.

This one is a paid feature, because every realistic snapshot is a real AI render.

Night or day#

Next to the camera there's a Night / Day button. It lights the model either in full daylight or at night — the building's own windows glowing warm, under a deep blue sky full of stars.

It changes the model, not the app. Your dark or light theme stays exactly as it is, so you can work in a dark interface and still shoot in daylight, or the other way round.

A realistic snapshot follows whatever the button says: shoot a night view and you get a night photograph, never a midday one.

How to take one#

  1. Open your model and set up the view you want — any stage works, and the realistic view gives the best result.
  2. Pick Night or Day in the toolbar.
  3. Click the camera button.
  4. Pick "Snapshot" or "Realistic snapshot".
  5. The picture downloads to your computer as a PNG.

Anything you have selected is dropped from the shot first, so drag handles and size labels never end up in the picture.

A realistic snapshot takes well under a minute. The view shows how far along it is while you wait.

What each plan includes#

PlanSnapshotsRealistic snapshots
FreeUnlimitedNot included
5 as you goUnlimited$5 each, pay once
Ex10dedUnlimited10 a month
EnterpriseUnlimitedBy arrangement

On Ex10ded, your 10 realistic snapshots come back on your billing day each month — the day you subscribed, not the 1st.

On 5 as you go, one $5 purchase buys one realistic snapshot. It never expires, and you are only charged when a picture actually comes back — a failed render costs you nothing. Buy them from My Account.

See Pricing for the full comparison.

Tips for a better realistic snapshot#

  • Set up the view first. The picture is shot from where you are standing, so frame it the way you want before you click.
  • Turn furniture on. An empty room reads as an empty room; furnished rooms come back looking far more like a real photo.
  • Try night. A night shot with the windows lit sells a building in a way a daytime one rarely does.
  • Try walk mode. A shot taken from inside a room at eye height looks like a photograph someone standing there would take.
