3.2 - Using the Plan Editor

Now that your project is a fact you can use the Plan-Editor to start building the actual (new building) situation. Simply put, you need 3 ingredients for this:

1. A Configurable (the model with options which you have prepared in the previous sections)

2. A situation drawing or coaster

3. Decoration and/or furniture to decorate the 3D environment

Module 1: Introduction!
The situation drawing and underlay.
STEP 19

Place a House by drag 'n drop from your library Tutorials (found under Configurables in the Content Browser) your (own) Detached House model into the 3D environment.

If desired, you can also use the Detached model set up by Innobrix.

The House can be moved G, rotated R and duplicated CTRL + D. However, the location of the Dwelling remains to be determined, and for that we need a coaster for that. A coaster comes in many formats and extensions.

The situational drawing

Module 1: Introduction!
How do you use the Plan Editor?

The site drawing of your new construction project often serves as a suitable overlay, with the subdivision clearly visible. For this tutorial, we will use a 2D pad. These overlays are accepted as .png, .jpg, .jpeg and .svg. .dwg and .pdf are as yet not available. The easiest way to load a situation is to drag it into the 3D environment from the folder on your computer.

Importing a 2D overlay

STEP 20

Import a situation drawing or overlay as desired by drag 'n drop the file into the 3D environment of the Plan-Editor.

After the situation is loaded, you have the option to scale the overlay S. You can then pull the cube to make the pad larger or smaller. Rotate R works in a similar way. Here you just need to rotate the circle.

Use these tools in conjunction with moving G to place the House at an appropriate position.

Hide model

You can optionally hide the 'purple' default Innobrix situation model via the Scene hierarchy. Hide model
