I found a 3D bathtub symbol online and would like to use it in a tub deck for my plan. How can I do this?
In Home Designer Pro, Architectural, Suite and Interiors, you can easily import 3D symbols in the .obj, .3ds, .dae and .skp* file formats, save them in the library, and use them in your plans.
A selection of additional bonus catalogs for the current version of Home Designer can be located on our website in the 3D Library.
Home Designer Pro can also import 3D .dxf symbols.
Home Designer 2015 and newer versions of the software that allow for importing symbols can also import the .dae file format.
SKP import is not available on Mac version of Home Designer 2015 programs.
In this example, a Kohler® undermount tub symbol will be imported from the Trimble 3D Warehouse and then demonstrated how it can be used in a plan.
Many 3D symbols are ready to use as stand-alone objects; however, some fixtures like tubs are meant to be built in to enclosures. A custom enclosure can be created using base cabinets.
