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.
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
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

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