## Description

3D Viewer is a virtual reality viewer for 3D models exported from Chief Architect software. Visualize and navigate home projects before they are built using the Sojourn 3D virtual reality navigation tools. Walk or fly through exterior, interiors, cross sections, and floor plans to experience designs from every angle.

To view models, export the original model with saved cameras to the Chief Architect cloud and open it in 3D Viewer. This tool is ideal for professional builders and designers who need to share a virtual model with clients. Sojourn 3D navigation features include thumbstick fly and rotate, gyro camera, background camera toggle, walk-through, dynamic camera height, and manual height adjustment.

## Review summary

User reviews repeatedly cite reliability and workflow issues (crashes, memory errors, import/export problems) as the top negatives, along with a subpar UI. Despite these drawbacks, many praise the app as a strong client-facing tool that clearly presents simple models and keeps clients updated, and they note ongoing improvements and potential for more features.

### Pros

- Helps present the project to clients and keep them updated, especially during big-screen walkthroughs.
- Clearly portrays simple models in a way that aids client understanding of the design concept.
- The app has improved significantly over time, with ongoing improvements noted by users.
- Users see potential for more capabilities and features in future updates.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and instability; the app often won’t open or crashes during use.
- Memory-related errors that prevent loading or opening the app on devices.
- Difficulties importing or uploading files from cloud services (Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive) and other external sources, with various error messages.
- Inability to save, export, or download work to a local device, leading to lost or inaccessible data.
- Poor user interface and a steep learning curve, described by some as not up to the standards of Chief Architect products.
