  5. Turn it in 3D

    The armchair glows with the lamp. Tap the tile to switch the lamp on or off.

    To change how it looks, open its settings again: Light and Colours under Look make it brighter, more sculpted, or show the model’s own colours. With Rotate on the dashboard people can turn it themselves. Every setting is in the widget gallery, and your own 3D models in floor plans.
