spherical sky

Post by hvanessen » Tue Feb 09, 2010 1:32 pm

How do you know that your designed house in SU is placed on the spherical sky witch you put behind the scene.

When i tried this the house in hanging into the sky, or is not standing on the ground ?

Is there a tutorial or is there some kind of trick to learn it quickly :ugeek:

There are a few posts around that discuss similar issues. This one is just a couple down from yours.

Sketchup doesn't provide anyway to show a spherical background, so there isn't anyway to 'preview' your model's position in the spherical scene, other than to do a test render. As discussed in the above link, spherical images are 'fixed'; you can't change the position of your model within the background.

There are ways to compensate for this. The easiest is to place a 'ground plane' under your model, extending beyond the boundaries of your image.
