280 Creating a new interior or remodeling your existing one has never been so intuitive, easy and fun. With the help of Live interior 3D you can look into the future and see the results long before any changes take place.

The program allows you to choose one of over 50 ready made Interiors and 2D plans to experiment with.

Live Interior 3D lets you view and edit in either 2D or 3D, perform realistic virtual walkthroughs inside the interior to realize what needs to be changed to achieve perfection, shoot movies, make screenshots and generate panoramic views of the interior and share it with others.

Flawlessly switch between 2D and 3D modes, or select Split mode to view both 2D and 3D simultaneously. Objects can be added and edited in both views.
Extensive object and material libraries supplied with the software and advanced editing capabilities will unleash your creativity. Draw CAD like 2D plans, then surf 3D environment to get the look and feel of the interior. Add and arrange objects in both 2D and 3D modes.

Shoot movies, make screenshots and generate 360° panoramic views of the interior. In addition to that, you can export the whole interior project (an apartment or building) or selected objects.

2D Plans

Various 2D editing tools let you draw walls, floors, ceilings, add text annotations and much more. In addition, you can display various measurements on your 2D plan.

Thanks to automatic dimensioning you see wall length on the fly as you draw it. This helps to create a wall of precise length. Apart from that, smart guides and snapping assist in preparing exact 2D plans.

If needed, you can set one of the predefined scales to your 2D plan or make a custom scale.

Live Interior 3D is perfect for:
• People who are considering how their future interior should look.
• Professional designers who prepare interior presentations.
• Architects that work on the room or house layout.
• Customers who want to see if the furniture matches the current interior.


Objects and Materials

Create the interior of your dream using the supplied library of 1200+ 3D objects, including brand name furniture. The Object Library is divided into two categories: furniture and building elements, such as doors, windows and columns.

Also, over 50 basic 3D shapesallow you to create various constructions.

You can easily change furniture dimensions, paint walls different colors, as well as change the surface type of any object giving it a wood, metal or glass look by applying one of over 1300 supplied materials.

For more demanding users, seamless integration with Google 3D Warehouse™ will provide access to an online database with an endless number of 3D objects, which can be used when designing your own interior.

And of course, you can use your own 3D objects, which are either in Google SketchUp, Ogre XML or 3DS formats.

3D Views

Virtual walkthroughs take you inside the interior and help you realize what needs to be changed in order to achieve perfection. You can easily move, replace and modify objects in 3D mode.

The program offers 3 levels of rendering, which extends its flexibility in utilizing 3D environment.
