Room-to-room navigation
Place arrows yourself, label viewpoints and choose an opening view. The room list also lets visitors select a viewpoint directly.
Maquete Tours
360° virtual tours for architecture
Let clients explore your design at their own pace. Maquete Tours connects completed 360° panoramas with arrows you place between rooms. Visitors look around from each viewpoint and choose where to go next.
Explore the two-room example
Look around the living room, select the kitchen arrow and return. This example uses two saved panoramas from Laura’s apartment project.

From viewpoints to a client-ready tour
- 1
Prepare your viewpoints
In SketchUp, choose a clear camera position in each room and create a panorama with Maquete’s plugin. Keep camera height and design references consistent. Wait until each panorama is complete.
- 2
Select a project and its panoramas
Open Panorama in the Studio and choose Create tour. Select the project, choose completed panoramas and name the viewpoints. The starting viewpoint controls where the tour opens.
- 3
Connect the rooms
Select a viewpoint and choose Connect rooms. Choose the destination, place the navigation arrow in the scene, then add the return arrow. Use visible doorways or circulation routes so visitors understand the connection.

Review and publish
Preview every room and follow every arrow in both directions. Check the opening views, then confirm the review and publish. Wait for publication to finish before copying the share link or embed code.
A clear presentation of your project
Context where it matters
Add information points and an optional floor-plan image with viewpoint pins. The floor plan is a navigation aid, not a measured 3D reconstruction.
Share and collect feedback
Publish an unlisted link or embed the tour. When feedback is enabled, visitors can leave comments tied to a viewpoint and camera direction.
Check the design across every room
Each panorama is generated independently. Compare doors, materials, furniture, lighting and room connections against the source model before sharing. Connected viewpoints do not guarantee consistency between generated images. Maquete Tours currently has no free movement, measurement tool or 3D dollhouse view.
Current limits: 20 viewpoints per tour, 20 hotspots per viewpoint and 10 tours per project.
Questions about Maquete Tours
Which plans include tour creation?
Project owners on Pro, Studio and Business can create and publish tours. Visitors can open an active published link without a Maquete account.
Can I use ordinary renders or panoramas from my computer?
The tour picker currently uses completed Maquete panoramas in your project. An ordinary perspective render is not a full 360° panorama. Direct import of external panorama files into the tour builder is not currently supported.
Does clicking an arrow mean I can walk freely?
An arrow changes to the connected panorama position. You can look around from there, but there is no continuous free movement between positions.
Who can see a published tour?
Anyone with the active unlisted link can view it. Drafts stay private. Disable sharing to make the old link inaccessible; publishing edits updates the active tour link.
