Polycam for Web
Scenes allow you to incorporate multiple captures into a space. You can use these captures to add furniture to a room, merge environments, and merge LiDAR-based rooms into one space.
Create a New Scene
1. Open Polycam Web and log in to your account.
2. On the left-hand side of the page, find and click the Create button.
3. A new Create window will appear, select the Create a New Scene
4. Enter the name and description of the new scene.
5. Once you enter your name and description, click Next to select your captures.
6. On the capture selection window, select the captures you want to add to the Scene and click Select Captures. This will create the scene with the selected objects.
How to Modify Your Scene
You will be taken to the scene editor after you add your models to your scene. Your models will then load into the scene.
Adding Captures
To add more captures, select the Add button within the layers panel on the left-hand side.
You cannot import Gaussian splat and floorplan models into a scene.
Scaling and Rotating Captures
You can adjust the captures in the scene by clicking on an object in the scene editor. A widget will allow you to move, rotate, and scale the capture.
Hiding Captures
Select the eye icon next to the capture name within the layers tab to hide a capture. Disabling it will hide that capture.
Removing Captures from a Scene
To delete a capture, click the three dots (...) next to its name in the layers tab. Then, click the Remove button to remove the capture.
Please note that deleting the capture from the scene will not delete the capture from your account.
Exporting a Scene
Users can export their scenes as a .glb file by navigating to the top-right corner of the page.
Snapping
You can enable or disable object snapping in Scenes by tapping the magnet icon in the toolbar. When snapping is enabled, objects will automatically align to nearby surfaces and other objects, making it easier to position items precisely. Toggle the magnet button off if you prefer freeform placement.
Swapping Objects
You can modify the scene by replacing objects with another capture within your library. To swap a capture, click the three dots (...) next to its name in the layers tab. Then, select the Swap button to remove the capture.
