      Hi,
      I would like to know how to superimpose several buildings onto a photo (each building not parallel to the next), using match photo. I can insert one model but when I try to insert another model I need to change the red axis which results in the first model moving withing the photo.

      Thank you for your help

      Avi

          You have to place/rotate the second building into the model and first photo. Then you can add a second photo and move the origin and axes.
          The reason for this is simple - the builidings need to be in the correct positions relative to each other to be able to "share" photo backgrounds.

            ok, ok, this procedure is correct but how do you do if the building has no walls at right angles?
            It would be really cool to make the "match photo" starting from some known points detected and visible in the photo.
            would be an improvement of sk really enjoyed.
            I would pay gold for a plugin like this!

            Ciao!

              Setup a temporary structure in your model that does have parallel lines. This might just be a few lines drawn in the vicinity of one of the building models.

                Then go to Tgi3D and buy PhotoScan (or download the 30-day trial first).
                It will do exactly what you want, and much more πŸ˜„
