What are the differences in the Creation Helpers?
On the left-hand side of the
interface are ‘Creation Helpers’ – these can be used to place blue rectangles
that will represent where the tile boards will go.
Rectangle:
This
is used to create a rectangle tile board for a wall. You can use the tick boxes to use the dimensions of the plan or you can specify your own dimensions for the tile board for specific requirements. The mouse position X and Y allow you to position the rectangle tile board in the design where desired.
Select Surface:
This is used to select any surface within the design. Drag your mouse around the VR preview (view port) to see which surfaces are available to select. Once you have the correct surface, left-click the mouse to select it.
Window Reveals:
This is used to easily tile the window sections. When using the Window Reveals option, it's best to select the tick box 'Lay tile on group'. This will ensure the tiles are laid together for that reveal.
Wall Borders & Skirting:
This is used to create tiling sections around the design. You can use the pre-defined heights or the mouse to position the borders around any height in the design. The number of walls and which walls the tiles are placed on can be determined here.
Floor Borders & Corners:
This can be used to lay the main floor tile in the design but is mainly used to create borders and corners for the flooring.
