Every project starts private — only you can open it. When you’re ready to show it off, flip it to public: anyone with the link can explore it in a view-only 3D viewer, and it appears in the community hub and on your profile.

Make a project public

In the editor’s top bar, click the visibility pill (it reads Private with a lock, or Public with a globe) and pick:
  • Private — “Only you can open it”
  • Public — “Anyone with the link can view”

You can also change it from your project list: hover a project card, open Project settings, and flip the Public project switch. Switching back to private works the same way, any time. The share link stops working immediately — visitors see “This project is private. Ask the owner to make it public to view it.” Once a project is public, a Copy viewer link button appears next to the visibility pill. The link points to the project’s viewer page (https://editor.pascal.app/viewer/...), where anyone — no account needed — can:
  • orbit, pan, and zoom around the scene
  • switch levels and view them stacked, exploded, or solo
  • change wall height (full height, cutaway, or low) to peek inside rooms
  • adjust display settings: shadows, camera projection, colors, render mode, and scene theme
  • walk through the design in first person (walkthrough mode; Esc exits)
Visitors can look but not touch — nothing in the viewer edits your project. Signed-in visitors can also like the project or fork it as a starting point for their own.

What’s public and what stays private

Making a project public shares the design itself. Two extras are controlled separately in Project settings, under Public viewer:
  • 3D scans — captured scan data attached to the project
  • Floorplans — floorplan guide images you’ve traced over
Each has its own switch, so you can share the finished design while keeping the scan of your real home or the original floorplan hidden from visitors. Both are shown by default. Public projects are also listed in the community hub and on your public profile, with their view, like, and fork counts. Private projects never appear anywhere except your own project list. When you paste a public viewer link into a chat or social post, it unfurls with a preview card showing the project’s name and your username. Private projects don’t leak anything — their links fall back to a generic “3D Project Viewer” preview.
