1.4 - A situation drawing

The situational drawing or overlay

Now that the model has a nice look, only the layout of the actual situation remains. To give an image to your end user you can use a 2D plot selector. This is actually nothing more than an image that can represent the actual situation and can be slid 'under' the house.
Such a overlay can be part of a subdivision, for example, or a simple lawn. This depends more or less on what you want to publish.
A situation drawing is accepted as .jpg, .png, and .svg, and can also be scaled (uniformly). Rotation is also possible. This overlay should be uploaded in the Plan-Editor.

Welcome to the Innobrix Academy!
STEP 7

Return to the Plan-Editor and drag the situation drawing or overlay from the folder on your computer into the 3D environment of the project. The image will now appear. If necessary, you can scale the layer (via hotkey S ) and/or rotate (hotkey R) via the -Gizmo. The House itself can also be moved (via hotkey G) and rotated in a similar way. (Of course, scaling is not possible.)

Manual input

Besides scaling and rotating through the -Gizmo it is also possible to manually enter a Rotation and Scale value via the Properties panel when the coaster is selected.
