Re: Help creating new object & light source from scratch You set the floor thickness on the level. Double click the level tab and you can set the floor thickness. If you don't see a level tab or can't set the floor thickness just add a level and set its elevation to a negative value. Now you can double click the level where your floor is and set the floor thickness. Export/import only your floor object. Now it has a thickness you can adjust to your 6". I'm sorry. I'm really trying, but I'm getting more confused. If I needed to modify this floor (light) at the beginning, does that mean I should go back and delete the obj. and mtl. files that I modified for the one that ended up being only 2 dimensional and just start building the light from scratch, entirely separately from the brace, and then when I'm done creating both, separate objects, I just insert the light into the brace in the final stage after importing them into my Sweet Home 3d room I'm building? Tell me if this is correct, please? 1. I create the brace out of walls. I create the floor that will become the light. 2.I export each separately as obj. files. 3. I text edit the floor (light) obj. and mtl. files. 4. I import the floor (light) obj. file into the Furniture Library editor & modify the light source. 5. I export the floor (light) file as a piece of finished furniture. 6. I import the brace into Sweet Home 3d as furniture. 7. I bring each piece (The floor (light), and the brace into the room that I'm working on. 8. I insert the floor (light) into the hole in the brace. I'm finished, and they remain two separate pieces of furniture, just one is placed inside the other? They aren't actually merged at any point in the construction? When I click on the floor, I right click to 'add level'. When I do this, the floor disappears and I can't see or grab it anymore. It's just gone like I deleted it. If I right click, 'add level at same elevation', It remains visible at least, but double clicking still doesn't give me any dimensions to modify. There's nowhere I can see that allows me to insert any value for floor thickness. There are no tabs visible anywhere. There is nowhere to set the elevation of the floor. |
