3.4 - Styling the surroundings

Decoration and furniture​

Styling the environment usually involves placing decorations and, in some cases, furniture inside the home(s).

You can use a predefined set of Decorations and Furniture. You will find these in the Content Browser in the Plan Editor and, as with many functions in Innobrix, it works via drag and drop.

Keep in mind that decorations can impact load time. It is not so much the number of decorations but the number of different types that matters. More unique decorations mean longer load times.

For an attractive environment
STEP 23

  1. Open the Decorations tab, choose a category, and drag a decoration element of your choice into the 3D environment. You can move the object G and rotate it R.

  2. Click the detached Home and then open the Furniture tab. Drag at least one piece of furniture onto each floor.

Are your furniture pieces at the wrong height?

This is caused by incorrect walk mode settings. Furniture is placed at the same height as the walk mode settings (per floor).

Use the End key to snap a selected object (such as furniture) to the nearest ground surface.

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.
