Floor plan book + Tabletop

Addditonally to all tabletop solutions you can make your presentation even more fluid and wholesome by showing your floor plans in a floor plan book. Dont hassle with exchaning floor plans and positioning them, just flip over the page and jump from floor to floor. The floor plan book can be printed with most photo online services in a matter of hours/days

Floor plans#

Floor plans help you to navigate in the 3D scene. Every floor plan has a unique ID, represented by a object marker. This makes it possible to jump between floor plans by exchanging them physically.

You can export them together directly from edddison.

These floor plans will later be printed into your photobook.

Prepare your project#

To use edddison to present your project, you first have to prepare it in your 3D software and in the edddison editor. Please refer to Getting Started for more information.

When you followed our tutorials to setup your 3D project for edddison you should already have at least one floor plan in your edddison editor. Please refer to Getting Started for more information

Save Floor plans as images#

  • In the edddison editor select the Print plans and markers icon. (Printer-icon on the top left)
