Patriciax1 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Is there a way to create a 3D symbol of the building. I was wondering if you could fill me in on how to do this. I need to put 2 different house plans on a large lot. There are 26 houses in total on this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Just make sure the building you use for the symbol is limited to just it's exterior components. Eliminate all interior walls, doors, cabinets, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Joe: please refresh my memory is eliminating the interior stuff to reduce size of the symbol or is there another reason ? is it "mandatory" or just a good idea its been years since I made a building into a symbol Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the image below everything you see except the road and the vehicles are 3 symbols from 3 separate plans placed adjacent to each other. This would have made for a huge file size and a very slow pan file except that there is literally nothing inside each model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
