I have found the solution to reorienting a 360 degree panorama for the proper view as a backdrop. It is found in Chief X14 and probably in the earlier versions. It does not require reorienting the building, which would be a disaster. I own and use a Ricoh Theta SC which is a 360 camera and quite affordable. The iPhone panos are stitched and the pics don't work as well as the Theta. Here's the deal: Import (as a backdrop) the 360 into the CA file and name it. When you double click the Full Camera, the Full Camera Defaults window opens, select the backdrop image, then check Spherical Panoramic Backdop. Notice the edits and the Horizontal Offset. The default setting is 0. You will have to experiment with the adjustment. I started with 90 degrees and adjusted iin 10 degree increments in both directions, then dialed it in. I have included an image of a preliminary design for a residence at a lake front showing the correct orientation.And here's the Grand View! BTW: the Ricoh Theta takes very crisp images. Something is lost in the import to Chief that makes it look fuzzy. I need to work on that. I should add that I also edit the 360 in Photoshop to rid the pic of unwanted things.....in this case, an abandoned garden where the house will sit......in the past, I've eliminated trees, autos and even structures from the pic with Photoshop....and I have only basic skills with that software. I hope this helps you folks out there! Ted Broussard (user since Version 8.5 (2003? I think)

This is a rendering of the same project mentioned above. The backdrop is a photo of the actual property. I will eventually landscape this plan. -

This is my latest project. I was hired by the homeowner to create renderings of the interior so that his wife would get a handle on what the spaces would look like. I think that it has been very effective for her. It also gave me a great appreciation for the precision and symmetry of this contemporary design. -

This, too, is my neighbor's home. This is the living room rendering showing the kitchen (above) and features a fireplace with built-ins and a coffered ceiling. -

This is a project that will get underway soon. My neighbor's home suffered damage from a fire. The home was built about 50 years ago with the typical small openings between rooms. My design calls for large arched cased openings between the dining, kitchen, living room and entry. This is a kitchen addition that features a cathedral ceiling and the large casement window. -

I took on the challenge of the Zen bath from Chief's tutorial to better get a handle on artificial and natural lighting when rendering. -

Here is a ground floor framing view of a bonus room and master bathroom addition to this residence. I really love this new feature in X6-the ability to easily show the framing attached to an existing structure. -

This is a second story addition over a court yard that was a real challenge in terms of roof design, connections, etc. The framer did an excellent job.
