Community & Gallery

The public Gallery with circuit-type and RC-scale filters and a count of loaded circuits out of the matching total. Open the image to view it full size.

Every circuit you build starts private — nothing about it reaches anyone else until you choose to publish it. Publishing puts it in the public gallery, where it can be viewed, rated, favorited, and built on by other people, and just as easily taken back down.

The gallery

Anyone can browse the public gallery and open a published circuit, no account needed. You can filter it by circuit type and by RC scale to find something close to what you’re planning. Choose Clear filters to return to all circuits. Opening a circuit’s detail page also shows a More like this row of a few other published circuits, so browsing one tends to turn up a few more worth a look.

Load more circuits

The public Gallery and the editor’s Community collection start with up to 12 circuits. Choose Load more below the grid to append up to 12 more while keeping the earlier cards. The count shows how many circuits are loaded out of the matching total. It appears above the grid and repeats just above Load more. The button disappears when all matching circuits are loaded; the total changes as people publish and unpublish circuits.

Changing the circuit type or RC scale starts again with the first batch and updates the matching total. After opening a circuit, use your browser’s Back button to return to the loaded cards, filters, and browsing position. That browsing state is remembered temporarily and can expire; reloading the page fetches the first batch again.

Inside the editor, choose Circuit menu → All circuits… → Community, or choose Community on the Circuits screen. It uses the same filters, counts, and Load more behavior. Favorites collects the published circuits you have saved.

Cards show the circuit’s creator, scale, type, layout size, views, and rating. The layout size helps you compare its footprint with your available space. Layout size unavailable means those dimensions could not be read; open the circuit to check its details. Not yet rated means no one has rated it yet.

On the detail page, switch between Plan and 3D to explore the published layout. Hold Ctrl/Cmd while hovering over the preview to drag and zoom; on touch devices, choose Interact. Press Esc to stop interacting. The Layout size tile repeats its dimensions. You can browse on your phone; sign-in, editing, and printing are available on tablets and computers.

If the gallery or a circuit fails to load, check your connection and choose Try again. If loading more circuits fails, the results already loaded stay visible. A circuit that is no longer published may show Circuit not found; choose Browse the gallery to find another layout.

Rating, favoriting, and remixing

Viewing a published circuit needs no account, but acting on one does. Signed in, you can rate a circuit with a star, favorite it, or remix it — remixing clones it into a new circuit in your own account, named after the original with “— my copy” added, so you can change it freely without touching anyone else’s work. Inside the editor, the same gallery is the Community tab of the Circuits screen, and the circuits you’ve favorited are collected under its Favorites tab.

Choose Make your own copy on a detail page. If you are signed out, log in or create an account when prompted; the selected circuit stays with you through sign-in and email confirmation. Review Ready to make your copy?, then choose Make my copy to create it, or Keep browsing to leave without creating a copy. Your copy keeps the circuit’s scale and footprint, and you can edit it afterward. See Saving & Circuits for sign-in help and how your copy is saved.
