Import a Furniture Group Designed With Vertex InD to the Building Model

You can import a set of furniture designed with the Vertex InD application to the building model. The default locationing point is the locationing point set in the Vertex InD application.

The furniture group to be imported needs to be saved by using the Vertex InD application's function > Export Lightened Model. The model to be transferred is saved without walls. The model can be saved lightened with or without the inner parts of the furniture. The materials of the furniture will also be transferred with the model if the setting Bitmaps Used in Model Into Model File is enabled in the Vertex InD application. Saving the model with material data included increases the file size.
