How do I integrate photos with the Cover 3D software?

Do you want to make a photo implementation so that your customers see the project in a more real and tangible way? Nothing could be simpler!

1. Launch the project in Cover by clicking on the left arrow.


2. Go to the "Presentation" menu, which you will find at the bottom left of your screen. A black column should appear on your right, either empty or containing different views.

3. Place your mouse on the views column on your right, and right click with your mouse and then "Add a photo".



4. You will need to have the photo you wish to integrate on your computer. Select it and click on "Open". It will then be uploaded into your project and displayed in the background.

Pro tip: prefer a front photo, then it will be easier for you to place your construction on the photo. But of course, any angle is allowed ;-)


5. You will then have to play with the size of your construction and move it so that it is well aligned with your photo. You can either use the keyboard shortcuts mentioned below, or use the tools provided just below the views column. These tools allow you to change the perspective, the horizon, the orientation of the sun and the tilt of the sun. Enough to make beautiful photo settings.


Some useful shortcuts:


"Shift" to make a translation of your construction on the photo.
Play with the wheel of your mouse to enlarge or shrink the construction.

6. To save your bet on a photo, place your mouse in the column of views on the right, and make a right click. You should have seen a flash on your project. This simply means that your photo has been saved.
