Hello Forum! for the future I am planing to earn money with creating photorealistic Stills/Animations of buildings, based on 2d-Draftings or rough 3d-models from the clients. I am modeling with SketchUp and do Renderings with Lumion, later with Vray. Is it allowed, to place Furniture from the 3d-warehouse in it? Here is an example-Video of a building I made myself to test Lumion and the workflow. All the furniture there are presets by Lumion (except the kitchen, which is modeled by myself). But in the future I want to do more with Stuff from the warehouse.

Thanks Mike! Recently I downloaded a nice bench from the warehouse and the creater of it attached the text "“Design Property of xxxx. All Rights Reserved” Makes this any difference of using the bench in my architectural model? Thanks, Greetings Peter ---

**design rights** _I am led to believe_ **inhibit** you from manufacturing the design concept… I use **inhibit** as it depends on the resources of the design rights holder to pursue you in court… I am also _led to believe_ the a ‘Pro’ licence holder can use any ‘model’ in a derivative work, for any purpose… ymmv… john ---
