Venues
A venue is a 3D walk-through of a real place, such as a museum, a school or a village hall. Visitors walk round it in their web browser, or in a VR headset. You do not write a venue in Markdown: you draw it as a floor plan, seen from above, and Jollify builds the rooms and walls up from the plan. In the editor a venue is called a Virtual layout.
Drawing the plan
Pick a tool above the plan and draw. Every shape you draw becomes part of the building.
| Tool | What it makes |
|---|---|
| Room | A room with walls and a floor: drag from corner to corner |
| Any shape | A room of any shape: click its corners, then the first one again |
| Wall | A wall: click along it, then double-click to finish |
| Door | A door or window: draw it across a wall and it snaps into place |
| Stairs | A flight of stairs up to the next storey |
| Model | A 3D model from your files, such as a statue or a display case |
| Ground | Grass or paving under the building |
What you get: a building you can walk through, with rooms joined by the doors you drew.
Floors
Each floor is a tab above the plan. Draw the ground floor first, then add a floor and draw the one above, joined by stairs.
What you get: a building with more than one storey, and stairs that take visitors between them.
Setting up each shape
Select a shape and the inspector sets it up: a room's name, floor colour and height, which way a flight of stairs climbs, or which model file to show and which way it faces.
What you get: rooms with their names, at the heights you chose, and models turned the right way.
Walk round it
Overview shows the whole building from above, and Walk puts you inside it at eye height.
What you get: a live 3D preview beside the plan, which changes as you draw.
More
- VR presentations: put slides on platforms in a space you have drawn.
- Try it in the editor: start a new Virtual layout from the Museum or Two storeys template and walk round it.
