Use caseHow to turn listing floor plans into virtual tours
A virtual tour built from a floor plan is an interactive 3D walkthrough of a space — created from the plan itself, not from photographing a real, staged room. That means you can produce one for a property that isn't built yet, isn't furnished, or simply hasn't been photographed, which makes it a natural fit for pre-sales and new developments.
Floor-plan tour vs 360 photo tour
- 360 photo tour — stitched photos of a real, furnished space. Great when the property exists and looks its best.
- Floor-plan virtual tour — a 3D model you can build any time, restyle freely, and use before staging or construction.
How to make one
- Upload the listing's 2D floor plan.
- Convert it to a 3D model — the 2D-to-3D step.
- Furnish and style the rooms (see furnished renders).
- Present it as an interactive 3D model, a rendered walkthrough, or a glTF/GLB you embed on the listing page.
Build a virtual tour from a plan
Upload a listing plan and get a 3D model, furnished renders, and web-ready exports — no photoshoot required.
Get early access →Why it works for listings
- Earlier marketing — sell off-plan before a home is finished.
- Higher engagement — buyers explore instead of scrolling static photos.
- Flexible staging — restyle furnishings for different buyers without a reshoot.
- Pairs naturally with 3D floor plans for real estate.
Frequently asked questions
Can you make a virtual tour from a floor plan?
Yes. Convert the 2D plan into a 3D model, furnish it, and present it as an interactive walkthrough or rendered fly-through. Unlike a 360 photo tour, it doesn't need the property to be built or photographed.
How is this different from a 360 photo tour?
A 360 tour stitches photos of a real, existing, furnished space. A floor-plan-based virtual tour is a 3D model, so you can create it before the property exists or is staged, and restyle it freely.
Do I need the property to be built?
No. Because it starts from the plan, you can produce a virtual tour for an off-plan or unstaged property — useful for pre-sales and new developments.
What formats can I deliver?
Options include an interactive 3D model (e.g. glTF/GLB embedded on a page), a rendered walkthrough video, and 3D floor-plan images. Extruda exports the underlying 3D and CAD files too.
