KittiKorners Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 My client wants to see plants & flower vases in a top view 3d, but all I can generate are flat images in 3d view and vague circles in plan view; what am I doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 IF you have "3D Plants" in your Library Browser or you can download such a library from the Home Designer website you can then place a fully 3D plant symbol in your plan that will not look "flat' from different angles. What software do you have? DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJP Pro 2018; Library browser does not seem to have this; there's one in Bonus content but It's not free & one doesn't know if it will work til it's paid for lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 You can also try 3DWarehouse.com to see if there are any useful 3D plant symbols there, just beware that those symbols are "FREE" but they have no quality control either, so quality wise you are on your own. Symbols you download there are then imported into HD Pro as symbols (look in the "File-Import Symbol" area). If you want fully 3D plants you do what you must, OK?

DJP I'll try it but you'd think in Pro that you wouldn't need to go else where and certainly that things wouldn't completely disappear in 3d top view, vases, plants, fire... is that normal?

solver Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I just started a new plan, placed several vases on the floor. Took a dollhouse view and set view direction to top view. Vases show up. What exactly are you doing? Posting images is usually helpful too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittiKorners Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 Went to a different plan to experiment; did exactly as you did and threw in an armchair for good measure, all from the same Wayfair Trade catalogue as a control; the only thing I see in top view is the armchair:( tried both the full and floor cameras just in case How do I post an image? Do I attach a file? I really appreciate your interest in helping btw:) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Have you tried items from the core library -- not the Wayfair catalog? You can attach the plan file -- make sure it's not open in Pro. Click choose files when you are replying. Images are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittiKorners Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 Sorry for delay, I have trouble with files etc lol; nicely staged one has too many MB but you should get the idea with this one; there are plants (mostly from Chief Architect) & an armchair on the floor b!ut you'll see that the hanging basket and calla lilies (both CA) are visible! Maybe not all items have the same capability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 There are 2 of the same table, and 3 of the same chair in your plan. No vases or flowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
