The 360° Panorama feature in 2020 Fusion allows you to provide your clients with an immersive 3D experience that makes them feel like they are right inside their new design. Simply email a panoramic view link to your clients and they can open it in web browsers or on mobile devices (tablet or smartphone).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Only Perspective View can generate a 360° panorama.
