To elevate your virtual tour presentation, provide deeper drafting deliverables, and accelerate client conversion, we have rolled out three key product updates this month.
1. Unified VRC Skin System: Real Estate Experience Integration
We have officially consolidated the Standard and Real Estate VRC space skin architectures. The immersive, story-guided walkthrough experience previously exclusive to the Real Estate version is now integrated directly into the core editor, accompanied by enhanced floor plan thumbnail controls and custom visual styles.
-
Dual Theme Modes (General vs. Real Estate): When using either the Minimalism or Convenient space skins under Settings → Display, you can now toggle between:
-
General: Clean, versatile interaction optimized for retail, commercial, and public spaces.
-
Real Estate: Unlocks immersive spatial progression and guided storytelling tailored for property showings.
(Note: The Real Estate theme mode is currently supported exclusively under the Minimalism and Convenient skin presets.)
-
-
Enhanced Floor Plan Thumbnails: In the thumbnail configuration panel, switch between Floorplan and Floorplan Plus modes depending on your layout complexity and spatial detail needs.
-
Dual Floor Plan Visual Styles: Customize your floor plan aesthetics with two dedicated rendering options:
-
Structure: Clean, high-contrast lines emphasizing architectural boundaries and room layouts.
-
Technology: Modern, sleek visual rendering designed for interactive digital twins.
-
-
How to Configure: Open the Editor → Select Settings on the left panel → Go to Display → Choose Minimalism or Convenient → Switch Theme Mode to Real Estate → Scroll to Thumbnail, select Floorplan / Floorplan Plus, and pick your preferred Style.
2. Hand-Drafted CAD Service Adds Exterior Elevation Drawings
Our professional CAD drafting service expands beyond floor plans and reflected ceiling plans. You can now order precision Exterior Elevation drawings directly through the project details console, delivered in fully editable .dwg, .dxf, PDF formats alongside ready-to-plot .ctb styles.
-
Flexible 4-Facade Selection: Individually or collectively order the four primary elevations—North, South, East, and West—to fit your exact renovation or documentation scope.
-
Orientation Verification (Confirm Orientation): Facade directions strictly mirror the orientation established in the Floor Plan Editor. Click Confirm Orientation right within the checkout modal to verify your exterior alignment before placing your order.
-
Bundle Discount: Order individual elevations as needed, or select all four facades together to automatically unlock credit bundle savings.
3.Instant Email Notifications for VRC Lead Generation (Visitor Message)
Integrating lead capture forms via interactive components (see our tutorial on setting up interactive components) is a proven way to convert virtual tour visitors into prospective clients. Previously, all collected inquiries were consolidated under Marketing Tools → Visitor Message in the console for manual review and status tracking.
With the August update, we have expanded this workflow by adding Instant Email Notifications on top of the Visitor Message dashboard:
-
Real-Time Push Alerts: Whenever a visitor submits a contact form or inquiry through your 3D tour, an automated notification email is instantly delivered to the tour owner’s inbox—eliminating the need to constantly refresh the console.
-
Comprehensive Lead Summary: The alert email directly mirrors the Visitor Message data card:
-
3D Tour Details: Space title and a clickable direct link.
-
Visitor Details: Name, phone number, email address, custom message, and exact submission timestamp.
-
-
Unified Lead Management: You can take immediate action straight from your inbox, while continuing to manage, annotate, and mark leads as processed under Marketing Tools → Visitor Message in your console.
