HI Eric, not quite sure i follow?

I have a plan that I am working on and i have somehow erased the added room types before i started plan...so now i dont have my standard room names.

Is there a way to import room names into a plan?

I have done many as builts.. I take my laptop and a laser measure to site and input plan on the spot..I set the Temp dimensions to face of drywall.. doesn’t take too long.. only real critical dimensions are where cabinets might go.. i can draw up a 2000 sq ft two storey inside of an hour. Have you considered doing this yourself?

I was thinking there might be another solution but i am not very good at photoshop type manipulation, i have gimp for photo software... What about cutting the pano and rearranging the cut piece to one side or the other so the view you want would be where it needs to be? Does this make sense? I need some help showing how to do this..if anyone has some time.

Thanks Michael.. I will try it out.. your instructions make sense.. cheers.

I tried adding extra degrees to pano...in order to get the right view it duplicates some of the picture so then it is distorted..you would think adding say 90 degrees would rotate background 90 deg but it doesn't...I guess the only way is to rotate plan and make sure a levels are rotated exactly the same. I had the sun set to light the pano instead of coming into room..this is why the pano was washed out...looks better now..but still distorted.

Thanks I will try that

I read post, I will try setting angle past 360 and see if it rotates image. in pbr view the background is very bright.. any thoughts on how to make this better?

So I should just rotate plan until the view I want is achieved? you would think ca would have a adjustment on the backdrop? david Skogg

Is there a way of changing what the location of the background picture shows on a interior shot looking out? Here is an example picture with a full 360 deg view...

Only thing is this is for a real estate 360 so i cant show lights that aren't there... they wanted to have a panoramic photo in background but it seems pbr doesnt really show this very well.

mick, i added two lights in order to get rid of the black frames..doesnt make sense i would have to do this...there must be some issues with pbr.

Thanks Mick and Michael... I will give that a try...

I am trying to do a pbr of a condo suite, i added another floor on top to get rid of the light bleed at ceilings and the door jambs turn black or the entire door in some cases. I built this door symbol but why would pbr do this? I have seen it on the first release of pbr on white surfaces turning black. Here is the plan, any thoughts would be much appreciated. n4th.zip

thats very cool..yes the metal would be hard..also you kind of want to see the grout lines a bit so you can tell its tile. great job...

Hi Dustin, callacatta and Carrara marbles are very popular types today and both have white backgrounds with grey veining.. you will see these used for counters and tiles more than a dark grey marble with white veins.

Yes that is what i did as well, i ungrouped items until i could change bracing to another material..didnt seem to work for me

Gene i am using sketchup pro18, not web based.

Thanks Michael, what did you have to do...or that secrete sauce stuff?

I am trying to import this skp model and when ca imports the material for the metal supports is the same as the wood legs...any ideas how to fix this? i tried changing metal to blue in sketchup to see if this would work and then i could just adjust material on import..but it comes in the same colour as wood legs.

Hey Dustin, substance tile viewer coming along, i like that i can adjust grout size on large tile, it only allows export as a bitmap now? I was trying to get a white large marble tile with grey veining..the colour lightness is so sensitive that it goes from a grey to a white with very little adjustment..here are two pics of the results.

yes i did that but i was trying to keep your texture file the same exact size, once i changed both to 3x6 they aligned...thanks again..looks great.

Robert thanks for doing this...the tile is actually 3x6 so i tried adjusting scale down but the texture and the pattern don't match up...the original tile you had at 12x6 and now 11 13/16x6...i could move pattern in x direction until it matches...perhaps something on the orginal?

That’s awesome, I have gimp I will look into how to make normal maps.. what about bump maps or other maps? Or do you only need normal maps?
