Uploading plans

To add a floor plan to a tour, you can simply include it in the batch when you are creating a tour. Kuula will automatically recognize which images are flat and which are panoramic.

If you already have a tour and you wish to add floor plans to it, you can do it using the Upload > Single image function.

A floor plan can be created in a variety of ways. It can be a 3d rendering of the property, a map, a blueprint or CAD drawing or even a photo of a hand-drawn sketch made with your mobile phone. At the end of this article, you can find a list of recommended services and apps.

Adding hotspots to plans

Once the plan is uploaded and added to a tour, you can add labels & hotspots to your floor plan in the same way as you would add them to a 360° photo. Here's an example of a hotspot added over a regular image, a floor plan in this case:
