Projects, Views, and Renders

Render a House uses three levels of organization. Understanding them makes the editor and your project library much easier to navigate.

The hierarchy

Folder
└── Project
    └── View (a.k.a. Perspective)
        └── Renders (many)

Folder

A way to group projects. Think of it like a folder on your computer. A folder has a name and contains one or more projects. Every account has a default "No folder" space.

Project

A project is one design, usually one house or one building. When you upload a file, you create a project.

A project can contain multiple views (the editor UI also calls them perspectives) — the plan, the front elevation, a 3D perspective, a detail shot. They're all part of the same project because they describe the same building.

View (Perspective)

A view is one specific angle or drawing. Every upload becomes a view. The dock on the right of the editor shows every view of the current project, with a + Perspective button at the bottom to add another:

Within a view, you configure render settings (style, time of day, location) and generate renders. Each view keeps its own chat history.

Render

A render is one generated image. Each time you click Render, a new render is added to that view's history.

Views keep a full history of every render you've generated. Open All Renders (stacked-cards icon in the bottom-left of the viewer) to see them all, or use Undo / Redo to step through them.

Why use multiple views instead of new projects

If you want to re-render the same upload with a different prompt, or render another angle of the same building, create a new view (+ Perspective) inside the existing project — don't start a new project. New views inside the same project can share style, materials, and look via Copy Render (Pro). See Copy Render.

Renaming and deleting projects

Open the project-name dropdown at the top-left of the editor:

• Rename project — change the project name inline
• Delete project — permanently removes the project and all its views and renders. There is no recycle bin — deleted projects can't be recovered, so delete carefully

Folders

From the dashboard (/p):

• New Project (top left): start a new project
• + New Folder: create a folder to group projects
• To move a project into a folder, open the project's context menu (right-click or ⋯) → Move to folder, or multi-select projects and use the bottom action bar. See Organize with Folders
