🧩 Floorplan View Mode & Locking

Give clients safe, view-only access to your floorplans without risking accidental edits.

Written by Nina Dobrev

šŸ‘€ What View Mode Does

View Mode allows you to share a floorplan with clients while keeping all structural elements locked. This prevents them from accidentally moving walls, tables, furniture, or dƩcor elements during review.

šŸ”’ Locking Floorplan Elements

TTO includes locking tools inside the floorplan builder so you can protect key elements of your layout.

You can lock:


• šŸŖ‘ Furniture
• 🧱 Walls & structural shapes
• šŸ–¼ļø Images
• šŸ”³ Custom shapes

Locking ensures your layout stays perfectly in place while still being visible to clients.

šŸ‘„ Why Clients Shouldn’t Edit Floorplans

Floorplans are precise, and even a small drag or resize can affect the scale. When clients have editing permissions, they may unintentionally move objects—even if instructed not to-leading to confusion and unexpected changes.

Using View Mode helps you:
• Keep everything exactly where you placed it
• Share the design safely with clients
• Avoid accidental changes during reviews

ā†©ļø Recover an Accidental Change

If something is moved, added, or removed by accident, select Undo in the top toolbar. Select Redo to reapply the most recent action you undid.

šŸ‘¤ Client Access & Editing Permissions

If a client was able to unlock elements, it may be because:
• Their collaborator role grants them access
• Locks were not applied to all elements
• A browser refresh was needed before access updated

šŸ’” Tip for Planners

Even with View Mode, it’s helpful to guide your clients:
• Let them know the layout is locked for accuracy
• Encourage them to leave comments instead of making changes
• Remind them the planner will make all structural edits
