1.5 - Styling the surroundings
Decoration and furniture
Once the model is well positioned in your plan or project and looks good, the last step is decorating the surroundings. You can use a predefined set of Decorations and Furniture. You can find these in the Content Browser, and like many things in Innobrix, it works via drag and drop.
Keep in mind that decorations can impact load time. It is not so much the amount of decorations but the number of different types that has an effect. The more unique decorations, the longer the load time.
Handy controls
It is not always practical to drag decorative elements into the scene one by one. We built two handy functions and hotkeys to speed this up.
Grouping
Hold HOLDCTRL while selecting multiple objects and then press CTRL + G to place them in a Group so you can reselect them with a single click.
Ungroup by selecting a Group and pressing CTRL + SHIFT + G.
Duplicating or copying
Select an object in the scene and use CTRL + D to make a copy. Depending on your selection you can copy multiple objects (or groups) at once.
Decorate your plan or project by dragging objects from the Decorations tab into the 3D environment.
Fill in Home Properties
Besides decorating the environment with objects, it is also useful (and attractive) to fill your Home with various properties such as Name, Status, Description, and more. All of these properties influence how the Home is presented in the Innobrix Viewer.
Click the Home in the 3D environment of the Plan Editor and fill in the appropriate properties as far as possible.
