FAQ
1:Can I modify the wall height of the room, or add more rooms inside the space?
Of course, you can! You can design both the inside and outside the room. But please be careful not to change the length and width of the designated room.
2: Can I add windows and doors, or other building structures like partitions to the room?
Of course, you can!
3: Can I change the color and material of the wall and floor?
Of course, you can!
4: What should I do if I cannot update the floor plan when editing the project?
You can refresh the page or check whether there is a problem with the network. If you still cannot upload after trying, you can add an aerial render instead to show an overview of the whole design.
5: How to add text on the external wall?
Step One: Select a room in "Custom-Interior Modeling 2.0" to enter, click "3D Text" on and enter the required text on the wall, and adjust the text size in the attribute column on the right.
Step Two: After completion, go back to the design interface, switch to the plane view, left-click on the text, and select "Unlock" to adjust the position and direction of the text.
If you create multiple texts/models and need to adjust the position of each text/model individually, you need to group each model in Interior Modeling 2.0.
6: How to make a display platform for the furniture on sale?
Select a room in "Customize-Interior Modeling 2.0" to enter, and draw the foundation shape through "Rectangle" or other drawing tools. After drawing the shape, select the "Extrude" tool to form the height of the shape, which turns a face into a solid. Afterward, double-click the model to select the solid and then group it.
When you finish modeling, go back to the design interface and select the models. Remember to change its type into "ground" type so you could easily place furniture on its top. You could also move the model after you "unlock" it.
