Hometopia has several options for how to view your build. This section covers how to change your view mode and settings to get the best vantage point of your build.
The room planner helps you organize the space in your build according to room type.
Rooms help you organize the space, but you may want to turn them off to view your build without them.
The walls can be hidden to reveal the interior.
Lowing the visible level will allow you to view your build in plan mode. This view is great for laying out interior furniture and finishes.
