Qballky Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Can I model an item like a table lamp in SU, then import it to HD 2020 and place it directly onto a table top? I have no issue importing (drag/drop) SKP, but it seems to only place it onto the floor in HD. I can manipulate the lamp and get it on the table but it seems awkward. I was hoping I'm overlooking some simple parameter. If I save the SU item to my User Catalog it still only get placed on the floor. In a similar way, can I model items in SU, and have them directly attached to a wall? Like wall mirrors from the Wayfair catalog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Once you place the SU item, open it and set the height off floor. Save to the library. It should remember the height setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qballky Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 That works for one table height, but not in a general sense if placing the lamp on items of different heights. Also is there a way to have SKP item placed directly on a wall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Home Designer lacks the ability to do these things. You are stuck with manual placement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qballky Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 Thanks solver, Are there any products in the CA lineup where these things are possible? What is required to build a catalog like Wayfair's where these things do work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Chief has the ability to create and modify symbols. Note the Special Placement options. You can create something in another program like SketchUp, import into Chief, then convert to a native symbol setting these options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookie65 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I don't know what Suite has for options, yet in the bonus catalogs, you can download a Wayfair catalog and pull items from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
