Andy Kovach Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 What are the steps in the process get a model view to align with a site photograph? I want to make a perspective view of a building that will allow me to show context that is supplied by a photo. The photo will provide the background buildings street and vegetation of adjoining property. I have my building modeled including paved surfaces and existing refenence objects. I've planned my camera position so that with a 50? cone of vision I see some of the adjacent buildings. I assumed that if I took my photo of the site without zoom or telephoto I could use it as a background by taking a "set 3d view" from the same location and with "Normal" view. I can't seem to get the reference objects I've modeled to align with the photo. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted August 31, 2004 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted August 31, 2004 Adjust the perspective depth factor (don't assume that "Normal" will match the lens of your camera). Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted August 31, 2004 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted August 31, 2004 The depth factor is a property of the view, not the tool. Quote Link to comment
Andy Kovach Posted September 1, 2004 Author Share Posted September 1, 2004 Thanks Robert The "perspective depth factor" must be the custom perspective value in the Perspective field of "View>Perspective". Do any of the view tools, (Flyover, Walkthru or Translate) provide similar manipulation? Quote Link to comment
