Can anyone tell me how to add a scene to my windows? Thank you!
Could you elaborate on what exactly you mean by that?
Sorry I tried to upload my model, but it wouldnāt attach. Iāll try again tomorrow. Thanks for looking Wo3Dan.
I donāt know what to do. I am unable to upload my file here. Iāve tried just uploading the regular file and compressing it to no avail. I donāt even get a message telling me file too large or anything. It just shows nothing. So I guess Iāll just skip it and forget the window scene. Thanx anyway.
Iāll take a guess that you can ignore if Iām wrong. Is the idea to have surroundings that you see through the window when looking from inside? If thatās right, you can create a large surface outside your model and paint an image onto it. Some people use a cylinder or a half sphere. Apply a transparent material to the glass and the background will be visible when viewing through the window.
Hi Steve. Yes, thatās what I wanted. But THAT aināt happening. 
Itās been difficult enough getting here. But here is a 2D image of what I was going for.
If your model is too big to upload directly to the forum, try uploading it to the 3d Warehouse, Dropbox, OneDrive or other file sharing service and share it via a link here.
Ha-haā¦You may (or may not) remember JohnM that we went through this before with my whole house model. It seems I am very inept at that sort of thing! But thanks, as always. R~
I do indeed remember. And a very nice looking house it is.
Hope you sort out how to share it.
If you havenāt already, try getting a free Dropbox account. Install the client on your machine.
Then tell Dropbox to Synchronize its folder with the cloud copy .
R click on the local Dropbox folder, or just the SU file in it, then select Copy Dropbox link and paste it into your forum post.
Or just create a 3d Warehouse account, sign in, and upload it there either from within SU, or via your browser.

Your kitchen is looking nice! Fine to follow your process and see the improvements.
Did you manage to add a scene to the window?
Hello, r.ibarria. Thans for your nice comment. Yes, I was able to add a scene. Whether I did it correctly or not I donāt know. I tried searching the forum for my question and couldnāt find anything that related to my specific question, but did find a thread for something else that detailed how to import an image into SKup. So thatās what I did I just imported an image and stuck it on the back of the window. It works for this purpose, but probably wouldnāt if it needed to be professional.
Not the best photo, but I didnāt have a lot of time to search for a nice backyard photo with a garden shed or kiddie swing. LOL . This picture shows why it doesnāt look professional.
āsceneā is is not the best word to useā¦
what you need is a ābackdropā outside the windowā¦
there are tutorials for adding themā¦

Instead of applying the landscape image to the back wall of the kitchen, you could create another large rectangle that is positioned some distance from the kitchen (say, 50 feet as an experiment) and then scale and apply the landscape image to that backdrop rectangle. By separating the image from the kitchen wall you could get some perspective shift when changing camera locations. Some experimenting with the distance and scale of the backdrop will probably be needed. This is the kind of thing that @slbaumgartner was describing in his reply.
Half the battle with this program is knowing the correct terms to search for! I may get there one of these days! 
Thank you TDahl. I will play with it and see how it goes. Itās not essential. Itās just something I thought would make it look better. This program is so cool and has so many applications it makes me wish to be a computer wiz. LOL)
To find tutorials you could search for things as āadd background/panoramic/dome/cylinder background to sketchup modelā. There are plenty out there!
Looks like you have moved it barely 5 feet.
