Renovating from photos

0:01Renovating from photos.

0:03For a renovation, start from photos of the room as it is. On a layout’s Visualize tab, choose From photos of the room.

0:11Add photos keeps up to six with the layout. Check up to three for a picture, and star the one taken from where the picture should be.

0:20The walls, windows and doors stay as photographed. The finishes and furniture are redone with the pieces you specified.

0:29If a camera on the plan stands where the photo was taken, choose it, and the pieces are placed as its blocking shows.

0:37The blocking is the layout seen from that camera, at true size: the same scene as the 3D tab.

0:44This photo stands at none of the plan’s cameras, so we choose None, the photo alone.

0:51Then daylight or evening, warm or cool, and a draft for two AI actions, or a final for five.

0:58It asks before anything is spent, and if the picture can’t be made, the actions are given back.

1:04It takes about a minute.

1:06Here’s the photo beside the draft made from it: the same room, with new finishes and the specified pieces.

1:13Every picture is labeled concept visualization: an impression to decide by, not a drawing to build from.

1:20Every version is kept, and stays with your team until you switch on Show to the client.

1:26In the project’s Renderings, each card opens in Visualize again, and says when the client approved it.

1:33That’s renovating from photos. More videos: portspace.io/videos
