Vector projection of 3D view?
Hi all,
I'm doing this smart home interface and need a vector SVG file with a projection of my 3D view, with roof removed. Like in image below.
Is this possible, and what software would I need?
Also I have tried to export the 3D view to .OBJ and then import it in to Fusion 360, however it did not import any of the materials/textures and the model itself is all broken.
What 3D modelling software is known to be compatible wth these OBJ files and all the extras?

Re: Vector projection of 3D view?
The image you posted is a rendered photo which is computed pixel per pixel with many different colors, therefore it's difficult to vectorize it to obtain a similar image in SVG format. Among the free converters available on Internet I tried with your image, pngtosvg.com seemed to give "acceptable" results. But maybe your could simply use the image returned by Plan > Export to SVG format menu item.
Blender supports very well OBJ format import and export.

None of this is directly related to SH3D, except for creating the rendered image used. Try Inkscape. You can embed and place pre-rendered images, then overlay svg elements with xml id attributes. I suspect this is what your smart home app is needing, so that it can treat the svg elements as buttons or labels for the action buttons and things like temperature labels.

Blender is a great program and free for use. 3ds max another great program but very expensive. For *.svg is good Adobe illustrator.
