# Make pictures of your design

Point the camera, then save a snapshot, a photoreal render or a pencil sketch, and walk through a room.

Snapshots, renders and pencil sketches are made on your computer and cost no AI credit. They change only the picture, not the model or the cut list.

## Point the camera

Most of the picture controls are in the scene bar. Click **Scene** above the 3D view to open it.

- In a room, open **Camera…** and select a corner, a door or **focus selection**.
- For any design, use **View ▾** for the front, side or top, or **⌂** for the whole design at an angle.
- To turn the view about one part, press Shift+F and click the part. Walls between the camera and the part are cut away.

To keep a view for later, type a name in **View name** and click **Save view**. The project keeps the camera, the light and the open doors and drawers. Select it again from **Views…**.

## Save a snapshot

1. In the scene bar, select a size, for example **1920×1080**.
2. Click **Snapshot**.

Your browser downloads a PNG with no grid, axes or outlines.

## Make a photoreal render

A render shows bounced light, soft shadows, glass and reflections. It takes from some seconds to some minutes.

1. In the scene bar, click **Render…**.
2. Select the size and the quality. **good** is enough for most pictures.
3. Click **Render**.
4. When it is done, click **Save PNG**.

To blur the background, select the part to focus on first, then tick **Focus**.

## Draw a pencil sketch

1. Click **Pencil** above the 3D view.
2. If you want faint lines that run past each edge, tick **Construction lines**.
3. Click **Save picture**.

The default size, 1200 × 630, is the size of a share card. Click **Pencil** again to go back to the normal view.

## Walk through a room and change the light

1. In the scene bar, click **Walk**.
2. Move with W, A, S and D or the arrow keys, and drag to look round.
3. Press Esc to stop.

You start at the first door, at an eye height of 1600 mm. **Walk** shows only when the project has a room.

To change the light, select **morning**, **noon**, **evening** or **overcast** in the daylight list. To add a ceiling light, click **+ Light**, then set its **Colour K** and **Intensity** in **Properties**.
