What are terrains?

Terrains are the successors to the 3D parcel maps and provide a direct way to upload your own 3D underlays for use in BIM Publisher and Home Configurator projects.

How do I create a terrain?

You can upload a terrain in these formats:

• OBJ with .MTL and textures.
• GLB with textures embedded in the file itself.

In both cases you can change textures by dragging and dropping textures onto the object.

Available terrains for your BIM Publisher and Home Configurator projects appear in the project's Content Browser.

Shared materials

Materials for terrains are global. For example, a material named "Gras" present on "Model A", "Model B", "Model C", etc. is shared across terrain models. This is usually convenient, but if a terrain needs project-specific materials, rename a material to something like grass_projectA to make it unique.

Points of attention

• Only one terrain can be active in a plan or project.
• Consider optimizing the model for performance and load times.
