flt505 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I have Home Designer 9.0 This version does not allo me to create a custom "polygon". I would like to use the PYRAMID shape but i need it to tilt over 90 degrees. is there a way to save the existing PYRAMID shape into User Libraries so i can "rotate" it 90 degrees?? What i am trying to do is use this "pyramid shape" as the displayed "light" field coming from a Projector to see if this light field will clear a fan which is in the path, but the fan "may be" high enough to not cause a shadow on the projector screen. The Point of the pyramid would be placed at the projector lens location and the size of the base would be the size of a 16:9 100" diagonal screen.

Kbird1 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 did you try 3D Warehouse for a pyramid in the correct orientation or make one in Sketchup yourself perhaps? M. Edit: actually you can use the wedge and an inverted wedge to make it ------make each one 4 1/2 x16" x 100" long and place them on top of each other at the correct height....

flt505 Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Yes, i had thought of the wedge/inverted wedge, but the "Point" of exit of light from the projector would be as wide as the wedge and not a "point" so the spread would not be accurate vs ceiling fan placement.

Kbird1 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 okay thought it might be better than nothing , so i'd suggest sketchup and make your own and import it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flt505 Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 I have created what i want in sketchup but I don't see where i can import a .skp file in Home Designer 9.0 Is there a way?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Oops ...I hope so that's a pretty old title but I don't know when they started allowing .skp as an import ..... I have Pro 10 and it is under File>Import>3D Symbol do you have that option ? and if so what are the choices? you may need to export from Sketchup as a 3D model eg .3ds or .obj rather than as ,skp M.
