Initially iGUIDE is published in the iGUIDE Cloud where it can be configured and downloaded as a zip file for offline viewing or self-hosting.

I believe that most of us like to allow freedom of exploration -- if someone wants to see the utility room, they can, etc. But! I agree about closets! Large master bedroom closets are wonderful to show - but most often they are crammed with stuff! I'll still scan them, but disable the scans. That way the...

As you walk through it, either they deleted a great number of scans, or did just the bare minimum to create the dollhouse. At any rate, it's very large indeed.

The two rooms may have very little overlap in terms of common points - mostly at the door and the overlap percentage may be as low...
