Missing faces
Sometimes, when we are importing the 3D model, something like this might happen:
It is the case of the missing faces; this happens because when the building was
modeled in the 3D modeling package, these faces were reversed. So, instead of the
normal pointing toward the outside, they are pointing toward the interior, thus
making the face invisible.
Solution
The solution depends on the 3D modeling package you used, but the idea is to find
these faces and reverse them.
Summary
Here, we are at the end of this chapter, which will certainly prove helpful as you
to start working in Lumion with the right foot. We had a quick overview of how
Lumion works, how to control the camera, the 3D models, and how to save a project.
After that, we checked out some important concepts to help us in modeling, keeping
visualization in mind. Then, we explored why materials are so important and how
they contribute to a smooth workflow. We also saw how to export the 3D model, and
you learned about some common problems and their solutions.
In the next chapter, we will start laying the foundation to create a project in Lumion by
creating a scene using one of the nine presets and sculpting the terrain to accommodate
the building.
