Now that we've mastered the Lumion basics, we can move on to another indispensable stage in any project. It is challenging to describe where this stage starts and ends, but controlling the 3D models and modifying their appearance is crucial if we want to add life to a project. We will be doing this even in the final steps before exporting a still image or a video.

A good deal of the tools covered in this chapter are simple to use, but are important to perform tasks to change the look and size of a 3D model—just to mention the most basic ones. Although we will cover how to control and manipulate Lumion's native 3D models in great detail, the same principle and tools are used to control the 3D models we imported.
