Aligning different 3D models' orientations


Lumion is a unique application not only because of what we can do with an incredible quality, but also because we have features that initially may not seem beneficial at all until we work on a project where we see a practical application. One example is when we need to align the orientations of different 3D models, and in this recipe, we will see not only how to use it, but also how to apply it in a practical situation.

Getting ready

Before we begin, you may want to use a top-view angle camera to better adjust the 3D models you want to use.

How to do it…

To align the orientation of two or more 3D models, perform the following steps:

  1. Select the Objects menu and the correct category.

  2. Press and hold the Ctrl key to perform multiple selections.

  3. Select the Context menu and click on the Transformation… submenu.

  4. Select the Same Rotation option to align the selected 3D models.
