# Exterior

> The first thing a buyer sees: the exterior photo, extra 360° views, floor outlines and the exterior viewpoint.

**Content → Exterior** builds the entry screen of the tour. It is also where you tell Planpoint which part of the facade belongs to which floor.

## Exterior image

Upload the main photo of the property. Choose a shot where the storeys you want to make clickable are clearly visible — a straight-on facade works better than a dramatic angle.

This photo doubles as the property's **cover image** everywhere else: the dashboard card, the properties list, Property Map cards and link previews. There is no separate cover upload.

<Tip>
  Keep exterior images under **1 MB**. A Visit that loads instantly on a phone converts better than a slightly sharper one that takes four seconds.
</Tip>

## Description

A short paragraph about the outside of the property — the street, the garden, the orientation. It is optional.

## Additional 360° exteriors

Upload up to **10** extra photos of the same building from other angles. The viewer then shows arrows so a buyer can turn around the property.

Click **+ Add exterior** and select several files at once — they all upload in one go.

<Warning>
  Each additional exterior needs **its own set of floor outlines**. If you add a photo from the back of the house and do not trace the storeys on it, buyers cannot click into a floor from that angle.
</Warning>

You can also set an optional **360° badge icon** — a small custom icon that hints the photo can be rotated.

## Floor outlines

<a id="floor-outlines" />

This is the step that makes the exterior interactive. For each exterior photo, you trace the shape of every storey on the facade.

### Detect floor outlines with AI

Once you have uploaded an exterior image and added the property's floors, click **Detect floors · 15 credits** beside the floor selector. Planpoint analyzes the active exterior with its best-quality detection model and proposes one outline for each visible storey.

The results open in a fullscreen review before anything is applied. Step through the proposed floors, rename them if needed, turn off any outline you do not want, then click **Add floors**. You can refine any applied outline afterward with the polygon editor.

<Warning>
  Detection runs on the exterior currently selected. Each run costs **15 AI credits**, so review the active image before starting and run it separately only for the additional exterior angles you need.
</Warning>

<Tip>
  Use a clear image where the full facade and the boundaries between storeys are visible. Trees, neighbouring buildings and steep camera angles can make the proposed outlines less accurate.
</Tip>

If you prefer to draw the boundaries yourself, or need to correct a detected outline, use the manual workflow below.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick the exterior">
    Use the **Exterior:** selector to choose which photo you are tracing. `Exterior 1` is the main image; the rest are your additional 360° views.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick the floor">
    Use **Editing floor:** to choose which storey you are drawing. Floors you have already traced stay visible, faintly, as a reference.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Trace it">
    Click **Edit polygon** to open the editor fullscreen, then click along the outline of the storey. Click the first point again to close the shape.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Use the save (disk) icon in the editor toolbar. The editor closes and returns you to the exterior page.
  </Step>

<Tip>
  Hold <kbd>Alt</kbd> while drawing to lock each new segment to a clean right angle — the fastest way to trace a rectangular storey that actually looks rectangular.
</Tip>

## Exterior viewpoint

The exterior viewpoint marks *where the photographer stood* when they took the exterior photo, so buyers can orient themselves the moment they look at a floor plan.

Drag the marker onto the floor plan and rotate the cone to point in the direction of the shot.

</Frame>

<Note>
  The exterior viewpoint is **shared across all floors**. Set it once and every floor plan shows the same outside marker.
</Note>

Room viewpoints work the same way but are set per room — see [Viewpoints](/build/viewpoints).
