Hello. I am trying to insert a Sketup component into a photo. I would then like to be able to use this photo to document a renovation project:
The photo shows the main facade of a house and I would like to superimpose on it a Sketchup component that represents the new design of the door I want to change.
I have imported the facade image as a “New adapted photo” and I am able to position my component on it. But then I face three issues I cannot solve:
1/ The component does not hide the part of the photo it should replace. How to make the part of the photo behind it disappear?
2/ The photo has been distorted by the repositioning of the vanishing point bars. How can I return to the original photo with the Sketchup component inserted?
3/ How can I save the whole thing in JPEG or other format?
I am not sure I am using the proper import strategy here and was unable to find a tutorial with a similar objective.
Many thanks for your help !
Thank you for your help.
I am using Sketchup Pro 2021 V21.1.332
I was able to “hide” the part behind the door by setting opacity of the “First plan photo” parameter to 0 (not too sure of the English translation of my French menu)
So here is the result:
Keep in mind that image isn’t especially good for Match Photo. To be a good photo it needs to have two clearly defined vanishing points on the horizon and it needs to be uncropped and otherwise unmodified.
