【Panorama】How to set an expiration date for sharing a panorama?

Introduction

In the past, designers might have refrained from sharing renderings/panoramic images with clients due to concerns about unauthorized use. However, with Coohom panorama you can address this concern by setting an expiration date. After the specified time has passed, clients will no longer be able to view the panoramic image. This feature ensures that your designs remain secure and accessible only for the intended duration.

Steps

1. Go to the Enterprise backend, choose 【Projects】-【All Projects】, and select the desired project that needs to be configured.

2. Click on 【Edit】 to enter the editing mode. Within the【Editor】, click on 【Sharing】to access the settings.

3. After selecting 【Set Expiration Time】, you can directly choose the desired expiration time on the calendar. If you uncheck "Set Expiration Date", access to the panoramic image will not be restricted by the expiration setting.

4. Once the expiration date is set, the corresponding panoramic poster and QR code can only be accessed within the specified period. When the expiration date is reached, accessing the image will display an expired notification page. However, you can always reset the expiration date for the panorama if needed.

【Precise Layout】 Guidelines on Applying Reference Lines

I. Function Introduction

Reference lines float above the canvas and support object snapping. They assist designers in precisely positioning or aligning objects during the design process.

Tips:

*The Reference Line function is currently only available in 2D scenes (including 2D floor plans, 2D top views, and 2D elevation views).

II. Supported Versions

Cloud Design 5.0

III. Function Access

To access the "Reference Line" function: Click on the top bar "Toolkit" → "Reference Line" (You can directly activate the "Reference Line" function using the shortcut "T").

IV. How to Create a Reference Line

After activating the "Reference Line" function, you can create a line through "Two-Point Drawing" and "Offset Drawing":

1. Two-Point Drawing

Draw a reference line by locating any two points within the canvas, creating an infinitely extending line.

2. Offset Drawing

Activate any edge within the canvas (including reference lines, floor plan component segments, or model edges) and move the mouse to offset and draw a reference line.

2.1 Floor Plan Construction Offset

2.2 Reference Line Offset

2.3 Model Edge Offset

V. How to Use the Reference Line

After drawing the reference line, it supports snapping between the model and can be used in the following occasions:

1.Model Drag & Snapping

Within the canvas, based on the drawn reference lines, when placing a model, it can automatically snap to the reference line, thus improving placement efficiency.

2.Model Point-to-Point Snapping

*For the model to support point-to-point snapping, you need to activate "Precise Layout" (Refer to the Precise Layout: Guideline on Precise Movement).

Within the canvas, based on the drawn reference lines, when placing a model, you can precisely snap to the reference line through the starting and ending points, improving placement efficiency.

VI. How to Delete a Reference Line

After drawing a "Reference Line", there are two ways to delete it: "Delete" individually or "Clear" all in one click:

1."Delete" individually

Select any reference line within the canvas and click "Delete" on the object menu to remove that reference line.

2."Clear" all

Click on the top bar "Clear" → "Reference Line" to delete all reference lines within the canvas.

I. Function Introduction

Precise Layout supports precise point-to-point movement of objects. During the design process, it assists designers in accurately positioning or placing objects.

Tips:

*The Precise Layout function is currently only available in 2D scenes (including 2D floor plans, 2D top views, and 2D elevation views).

II. Supported Versions

Cloud Design 5.0

III. Function Access

To access the "Precise Layout" function: Click on the bottom bar "Precise Layout" → "Turn On/Turn Off".

IV. How to Use Precise Layout

Once the "Precise Layout" function is activated, objects can be moved and aligned using a "point-to-point" method:

1.Activate Precise Layout

Hover over the "Precise Layout" on the bottom bar to expand the control panel. Clicking "Turn On" will activate the Precise Layout.

2.Click to Activate Object

After activating Precise Layout, click on a model within the canvas to activate the target object you wish to move.

Tips:

*At this time, 9 snap points will be displayed on the object based on its bounding box. These are the midpoint, center point, and endpoints. Hovering over these points with the mouse will provide tooltips indicating the information of the current point.

3.Select the Starting Point for Movement

After activating the object, select the starting point on the object with the mouse.

3.Select the Ending Point for Movement

After determining the starting point, move the mouse to any position and click to confirm, completing the object's placement.

V. How to Control Snap Points

After activating "Precise Layout", you can customize control by turning on and off the snap points in the panel to determine whether the mouse can snap to them.

As shown in the figure: If you uncheck "Center Point", "Midpoint", and "Endpoint" in the Precise Layout panel, the mouse will not be able to snap to the object's "Center Point", "Midpoint", and "Endpoint" within the canvas.

【Precise Layout:】Guidelines on how to Apply the Auxiliary Line

I. Function Introduction

The auxiliary lines can be drawn through two points and are typically used in conjunction with objects. They assist designers in creating more valuable snap points. During the design process, they also help designers accurately position or align objects.

Tips:

*The Auxiliary Line function is currently only available in 2D scenes (including 2D floor plans, 2D top views, and 2D elevation views).

II. Supported Versions

Cloud Design 5.0

III. Function Access

To access the "Auxiliary Line" function: Click on the top bar "Toolkit" → "Auxiliary Line" (You can directly activate the "Auxiliary Line" function using the shortcut "Alt+Ctrl+F").

Tips:

*The Auxiliary Line function can only be accessed after activating the Precise Layout (Refer to the guidelines for the Precise Movement of the "Precise Layout" function).

IV. How to Create an Auxiliary Line

After activating the "Auxiliary Line" function, you can create a line through "Two-Point Drawing":

1. Two-Point Drawing

Draw an auxiliary line by locating any two points within the canvas.

V. How to Use the Auxiliary Line

After drawing the auxiliary line, it can be applied in the following occasions:

1.Binding with Objects

  • Within the canvas, based on the drawn auxiliary lines, select an object and the auxiliary lines, then click the "Bind" button on the object menu to bind them.

  • After binding, you can capture objects and move with your mouse based on the auxiliary lines.

Within the canvas, based on the drawn auxiliary lines, select an object and the auxiliary lines, then click the "Bind" button on the object menu to bind them.

After binding, you can capture objects and move with your mouse based on the auxiliary lines.

2.Creating a Midpoint

Within the canvas, draw an auxiliary line based on two objects to create a midpoint between them.

VI. How to Delete an Auxiliary Line

After drawing an auxiliary line, there are two ways to delete it: "Delete" individually or "Clear" all in one click:

1."Delete" individually

Select any auxiliary line within the canvas and click "Delete" on the object menu to remove that auxiliary line.

2."Clear" all

Click on the top bar "Clear" → "auxiliary line" to delete all auxiliary lines within the canvas.

VII. How to Hide an Auxiliary Line

After drawing an auxiliary line, there are two ways to hide it: "Hide" individually or "Show/Hide" all in one click:

1."Hide" individually

Select any auxiliary line within the canvas and click "Hide" on the object menu to hide that auxiliary line.

2."Show/Hide" all

Click on the bottom bar "Show/Hide" → "Auxiliary Line" to show/hide all auxiliary lines within the canvas.
