Sharing Layouts

Sharing a layout as a file

If one of your collaborators already has the environment downloaded, you may export a layout file for it to be shared without having to share the whole environment again.

To do so, just access the Layout Manager and export the layout you wish as a .p3dl file:

Your collaborator may now import this file back in the same environment from the Layout Manager again.

Info

We recommend using .p3dl file layouts only for sharing purposes. Use the default save system (described in this page first section) for saving your work on a regular basis.

Warning

Importing a .p3dl file in an environment different to the one it was exported doesn't make sense, hence this possibility is blocked and will raise an error.

Sharing a layout online

Sharing your layout online is a convenient way to access and collaborate on your designs using the RealityPlan app. By uploading your layout to the Prevu3D cloud, you gain easy online access to your designs without the need to download the entire environment. Additionally, this method allows you to seamlessly share your layout with collaborators and simplifies the process of downloading your layout directly to the application.

Follow these steps to share your layout online:

Option 1: Share Your Current Layout

1. Click on the Share Layout button under the Share tab of the toolbar.

2. In case you have unsaved changes, you will be invited to save those changes first

Option 2: Share a Layout from the Layout Manager

1. Open the RealityPlan app and access the Layout Manager.

2. Locate the specific layout you want to share.

3. Click on share layout  button on the desired layout.

4. After saving changes to the current layout in the Layout Manager, the uploaded layout will be opened, and the upload will start.

RealityPlan will now upload your current layout to the cloud. You will be able to monitor the upload progress.

Once the upload is complete, a popup will open, allowing you to open the uploaded layout in the Prevu3D website.

Importing your online layouts

To import the uploaded layouts back into the application, follow these simple steps:

1. Open your layout manager within the RealityPlan application.

2. Open the online layouts tab.

   

3. Click on the layout you want to retrieve.

4. A popup will appear, prompting you to confirm the download.

5. Once you confirm the download, the file will be automatically downloaded to your device, making it readily accessible for your use within the application.

Info

Only layouts uploaded from the version 3.22 onwards will be available in the online layouts tab.

The application allows you to upload a layout to the Prevu3D Cloud Platform. Once the layout has been sent to the cloud, it can be shared with collaborators with a public link using Prevu3D's web viewer.

Info

You need to be connected to access the layout sharing feature. For help on logging in see Login

Upload your layout

Back in the desktop application, you may access the Share Layout button under the Share tab of the toolbar. In the case you have unsaved changes, you will be invited to save those changes first.

Note

If you wish to share the web viewer with the environment only (without layout), you can directly do it on the cloud platform.

Access layout on cloud platform

Now that your layout is uploaded, you may access it on your cloud platform under the corresponding project.

Everyone with the required roles will have access to it through the project page.

Share to external collaborators

During the project you may want to share some layout to people that are not part of your organization. You can do it using the share option next to the desired layout.

You can setup a password and an expiration date. The generated link can be copied and shared with your collaborators. You can always revoke the access to a link by deleting it from your list of shared links.

Info

The web viewer version is limited to the navigation and basic tools. You can visualize the layout and access your annotations easily but you can't edit it.
