Scene pins let you attach a render, elevation, photo, or detail drawing to a specific spot anywhere on a page — so a viewer can click that spot and see the attached image full-screen. They turn a static floor plan into a navigable document, and they're a Programa-specific tool that no other presentation app quite replicates.
Two ways to use a scene pin
Scene pins solve two different problems with the same tool.
1. As a render preview tied to a floor plan position
Pin a render onto the location it depicts, so a client can click that spot on the floor plan and see what the room is intended to look like. It's a way to walk a client through a design "as if they were standing here" — combining the spatial context of the floor plan with the visual richness of the render.
2. As a technical drawing reference
The modern replacement for the old "see sheet D13 for the kitchen elevation" workflow that designers used to set up in InDesign by hand. Pin an elevation, joinery detail, or technical drawing onto the spot on a plan it documents, so a builder or trade can click straight from the floor plan to the right drawing.
This is the use case that turns a Presentation into a working set of construction documentation.
How to add a scene pin
Open your presentation and navigate to the page you want to pin onto.
Click Pin in the Command Bar → Scene.
Upload the image you want to attach — a render, elevation, photo, or detail drawing.
Click the spot on the page where you want the pin to go. The pin appears as a small dot (slightly larger than a product pin) with a directional arrow.
Drag the arrow to rotate it so it points in the right orientation — useful for showing the view direction of a render.
If you place a scene pin on an image, it anchors to that image — when you move, resize, or rotate the image, the pin moves with it. You can also place scene pins on blank page space, where they stay put until you drag them.
How to cancel out of pin mode
Press Esc at any time to exit pin mode without placing a pin.
How to view a scene pin
Hover a scene pin to see a thumbnail preview of the attached image.
Click a scene pin to open a full-screen lightbox of the image. Click outside the lightbox or press Esc to close it.
How to move a scene pin
Click the scene pin to select it, then drag it to its new position on the image.
How to delete a scene pin
Click the scene pin → right-click → Delete.
