Once the user has the desired position and size, they will tap the AR tab above the model.
After tapping the AR tab, users will scan the area with their mobile device. The device will give additional instructions such as, “More Light Required” or “Keep Moving iPhone.” Users must obliged before the model can be placed.
Once the model is placed, users can move the object around the room by tapping and dragging the model to the desired location.
Also, users can enlarge or shrink the object by pinching in/out respectively. When changing the objects size, a percentage will appear above the model. When the percentage is at 100%, the model is actual size in regards to its surroundings.
Once placement and size are appropriate, users can take a picture of the model in Augmented Reality. Tap the circle at the bottom of the screen for a snapshot. The picture will be saved to the devices photo library.
Additionally, by tapping the ellipses in the top right of the screen, users can attach this screenshot to a pitch. Tap the ellipses and be directed to a new pitch option.
