Screenshot Capture

Capture your design to the clipboard or deliverables in one click — no render wait required.

The camera menu in the top bar gives you four fast capture options for your current view. Two copy an image directly to your clipboard so you can paste into an email, chat, or document in seconds. A third saves the view as a Design View deliverable inside the project, and a fourth records the current camera angle as a slideshow slide. Use these whenever you need a quick image rather than a polished, print-ready render.

1

Use Canvas Screenshot

Canvas Screenshot captures the visible canvas area exactly as it appears on screen, including any active render style and UI overlays. This is the quickest way to capture what you see right now.

2

Use Drawing Screenshot

Drawing Screenshot captures the 2D plan view of the drawing without the application chrome (toolbars, panels, menus). The output is a clean plan image at screen resolution.

3

Use Full Page Screenshot

Full Page Screenshot captures the entire drawing page at full resolution, regardless of the current scroll or zoom level. Use this to get the complete plan as a single image. Larger drawings may take a few seconds to capture.

INFO

Both clipboard options capture at your current screen resolution. If your browser window is small, the captured image will also be small. For print-ready resolution, use High-Quality Capture instead.

4

Save the view as a deliverable

Choose Capture view for sharing to save the current camera view as a Design View item in the project's deliverables. Any layers temporarily hidden in the canvas are briefly shown during capture to ensure the saved image is complete. A confirmation notification appears once the deliverable has been saved successfully.

5

Record a slideshow slide

Choose Capture slide to slideshow to add the current view — including camera position and lighting — as a new slide in the project slideshow. This is identical to pressing Capture from inside the Slideshow panel, and the slide will appear there immediately for reordering or presenting.

6

Access saved captures in deliverables

Views saved via Capture view for sharing appear in the Deliverables panel under the Design Views category. Open the Deliverables panel from the top bar to review, rename, or share them with clients. From there you can also download individual views as image files.

TIP

Set up the 3D view angle and zoom exactly how you want before opening the camera menu. The capture records whatever is currently visible on screen, so framing matters — pan and orbit first, then capture.

WARNING

Capture view for sharing requires an open project drawing. If you are viewing the project list or a standalone screen, the option will not be available. Open a project drawing first, then capture.

Frequently Asked Questions

I chose a screenshot option but nothing downloaded.

The two screenshot options copy to your clipboard rather than downloading a file. Nothing appears in your Downloads folder — instead, open any app (email, Word, Slack) and paste with Ctrl+V or Cmd+V. To save a file directly, use Capture view for sharing (saves to deliverables) or High-Quality Capture (downloads an image file).

Capture view for sharing showed an error.

This option saves into the current project's deliverables, so it only works when a project drawing is open. If you are on the project list or another screen, open the project drawing first and then try again.

Which option keeps the toolbars and panels out of the image?

Use Screenshot — drawing area only. It captures the canvas alone. Screenshot — full window includes the toolbars, inspector, and layer panel, which can be useful for documenting the interface state but is not suitable for client presentations.

The captured image looks pixelated or low resolution.

Clipboard screenshots are captured at your current screen resolution. Maximising the browser window before capturing will give you the largest available image. For high-resolution, print-ready images use High-Quality Capture, which renders at a configurable output resolution independent of your screen.

I captured a slide but I cannot find it in the slideshow.

Captured slides appear at the end of the slide list in the Slideshow panel. Open the Slideshow panel from the top bar and scroll to the bottom — the new slide should be the last entry. If the panel was already open when you captured, you may need to scroll down to see it.
