How do I save a 2D Design?

Organize different options, and prepare good, better, best comparisons

Updated yesterday

2D Design is where to start when you want to create quick, photorealistic designs from a single photo. It is the fastest way to spark interest with a homeowner by helping them explore ideas, compare styles, and align on what they want before you talk through measurements or pricing.

Saving your designs in Hover Workspace gives you a place to organize different options and prepare good, better, best comparisons for your proposal.

Note: At this time, you and the homeowner cannot work on the same design simultaneously. Real time collaboration is planned for a future update.

Start designing


2D Design can be used with a single photo before a scan, or with photos from a completed scan.

Option 1: Before a scan

  • From the Hover home screen, tap Start a project OR tap the plus (+) to start a new project

  • Select the Design ideas or Design instantly option

  • Choose exterior or interior project

  • Upload a clear photo of the home or room you want to design

  • Label the space if prompted, then click Create designs

Option 2: From a completed scan

  • Open the scanned property's Project Details Page

  • Tap the Design card to enter Hover Workspace

  • Choose one of the photos taken during the scan as your initial design image

  • Scroll through the inspiration feed or customize to edit an image directly

Note: the scan does not need to be fully processed for you to begin designing in 2D.

Then save and review your designs


To save designs from the inspiration feed:

  • Tap the bookmark icon at the bottom of the design

If you edit the design in workspace, you can save the customizations in either of the following ways:

  1. From the bottom left pop-up menu, or

  2. By tapping Save in the top of the workspace

You can create multiple saved designs to compare different styles and options. Each one is organized within the project, and can be accessed anytime from the project details page. Creating multiple saved designs helps you review options with the homeowner and build a clear set of choices for your proposal.

Your saved work will not automatically transfer to the 3D model. Designs saved in 2D stay in 2D, and designs you save in 3D will stay in 3D.
