Sharing a design with a public link

Flip a design to public, copy the link, and anyone can view it in 2D and 3D — no account, no editing.

3 min readUpdated 2026-09-18

A public link lets anyone look at a design — the 2D plan and the 3D view — without an account and without being able to change anything. It's the quickest way to show a layout to a partner, a landlord, a client or a contractor.

Links are created on your Shared designs page, one design at a time, and can be switched off again whenever you like.

Step by step

  1. 2

    The Shared designs page

    Every design on your account is listed, each with a Make public button — meaning it's currently private. At the top is Your public gallery: one link that lists everything you've made public.

  2. 3

    Make the design public

    Press Make public on the design you want to share. The button turns to Public and a permanent read-only link appears under the row with Copy and Open buttons.

  3. 4

    Copy and send

    Press Copy and paste the link into a message or email. The person opens it in any browser: they can pan and zoom the plan, orbit and walk in 3D, and that's all — no editing, no export, no access to your other designs. To stop sharing, press Public again and the link stops working.

Tips

Share a copy for feedback rounds

Duplicate the design and make the copy public. You can keep editing the original while the viewer looks at a stable version.

One link for several options

Make each option public and send Your public gallery link — the viewer sees them side by side.

Common mistakes

Sending a link, then editing

A public link always shows the current state of that design. If you don't want the viewer to see work in progress, share a duplicate.

Expecting the viewer to be able to edit

Links are view-only. For an editable copy, export the design as JSON and they import it into their own account.

Frequently asked questions

Can the recipient edit my design?

No — public links are read-only. To let someone edit, export the design as JSON; they import it into their own account.

Do they need an account?

No. The link opens in any browser without signing in.

Is the link public?

Anyone with the link can open it. It isn't listed or indexed by search engines, but treat it like a shared document link.

How do I stop sharing?

On the Shared designs page press Public on that design. It's private again and the link stops working immediately.

Can they see it in 3D?

Yes — the viewer includes the 3D view with orbit and walk mode.
