Visiofy makes it easy to turn your 3D models into interactive virtual experiences that clients and colleagues can explore, right from a browser or VR headset. Whether you're an architect, a student, or a builder, this beginner’s guide will walk you through the basics of how Visiofy works, what you’ll need, and how to get started with your first virtual tour.   ## What Is Visiofy? Visiofy is a tool that lets you create interactive virtual spaces of your architectural projects. Unlike static renders, flat images or pre-recorded walkthroughs, Visiofy gives your audience a way to step inside your design — and experience the space as if it were already built. No apps to download, no coding required. Just prepare and export your CAD design, upload it to Visiofy and share a link with your clients.   ## What You'll Need to Get Started You don’t need a complex pipeline to use Visiofy. Here’s what you’ll want to have ready: ### A 3D Model Visiofy supports models from tools architects already use, such as: - SketchUp  - Archicad  - Chief Architect, Live Home 3D, and more Your model doesn’t need to be hyper-polished as long as you follow the [prep instructions](https://marketing.visiofy.com/articles/optimize-your-cad-designs-for-best-performance-on-visiofy) — just clean, organized, and reasonably optimized for real-time viewing. ### An Idea of What You Want to Show Think about: - Which project(s) you want to visualize - Whether you want to highlight interior, exterior, or both - If your walkthrough will be viewed with a computer, mobile device or VR headset. This helps you shape the scope and pacing of your tour.   ## Step-by-Step: Creating Your First Visiofy Space ### 1. **Sign In to Visiofy** Create an account or log in through the Visiofy web app. ### 2. **Export and Upload Your Model** Export your 3D model in the [instructed format](https://marketing.visiofy.com/articles/visiofy-cad-export-cheat-sheet). Drag and drop your model file to Visiofy along with any texture files. Visiofy will process and convert it into a walkable experience. You’ll get a view link once it's ready. ### 3. **Preview and Share** You’ll get a unique shareable link — perfect for sending to clients, adding to your online portfolio, or embedding on your website.     ## Why Use a Virtual Space Instead of Just Renders? Interactive walkthroughs show what flat images can’t: - Spatial flow - Real human scale if used in VR - Depth and volume - Viewpoints and experience from inside the design Adding a Visiofy tour to your [portfolio](https://marketing.visiofy.com/articles/ultimate-guide-to-creating-a-stunning-architecture-portfolio) or [project page](https://marketing.visiofy.com/articles/how-to-present-architecture-projects-effectively)communicates your vision more clearly — and helps you stand out from competitors using only static visuals.   ## Where to Use Your Interactive Walkthrough You can add your Visiofy walkthrough link or embed to: - Behance, Issuu, or Archinect portfolios - Job applications (as a QR code in your PDF) - Personal websites or blogs - Client presentations or proposal decks - University submissions or design crits   ## Final Thoughts If you’re looking for a way to make your work more immersive, client-friendly, and digitally future-proof, Visiofy is a great place to start.
