CraftyCat Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Hi all, I have a floor plan in VW and now looking to understand how to create and apply artwork concept to this floor plan in 3d. I am a novice and have never done this before! Thanks. Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 There are a lot of options to create the 3D geometry. If 3D is completely new for you I would first get a little overview by watching some of the related videos on VWs youtube channel. Like these : Quote Link to comment
MRD Mark Ridgewell Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 If you're after a 'quick win', select a 2d shape on plan, then press 'ctrl e' (extrude), and add a 'z' height. Then use 'bot z' in object info. palette to position the objects in space. Then use the 'flyover' tool in basics palette. Wall tool gives quick results if you're drawing rooms/ spaces. ...and definitely watch youtube videos as per zoomers suggestion! Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Yes, the question is a bit wide spread and there is missing a bit of more info. If you could provide a screen shot to show how the plan and building will look, maybe we can help a bit more specific. Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 If you wanted the art work to be applied to the walls, like an exhibit, then making the works. Into image props would be a good way to do it. http://learn.archoncad.com/2007/11/1559/cadmovie104-making-an-image-prop/ Quote Link to comment
MRD Mark Ridgewell Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 .....I have jpegs to use as wall graphics on a project; do you know, would they appear in web views if I make them into image props by any chance? I previously pasted in as objects and they don't show up. Quote Link to comment

I previously pasted in as objects and they don't show up. I believe they will but they will be quite low resolution so that may be an issue. You can replace textures manually with a higher res version if you export your web view locally and then host it on your own server. The quality setting of Web View doesn't seem to affect texture resolution (eg. all export at the same low setting), it only affects the polygon count. KM Quote Link to comment

Phil hunt Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 i have also used the backlit option in the edit texture menu to brighten textures up a bit Quote Link to comment
