How to take a multilevel picture from outside?
Hi
I have a house with 3 levels, the out side is elevated in 2 levels.
Now i want to take a picture frm the lowest level (basement) and still get all levels on the photo.
How i do i only get the camera flying up on the ground level, i can't get it on the basement level with all levels visible.

Confused explanation but i hope it's understandable.

Thanks in advance
Thops

In the 3D View, right click to show the menu and choose Virtual Visitor. This will allow you to move the camera exactly where you want it as an object.

If the Virtual Visitor is linked to the floor that's showing, double-click on the object in the 2D View and you will see an option to unlink the camera from the selected floor.

Hi and thanks.

I have previously moved around and thaken pictures but then only on first floor.

It seems like the camera is stuck on the top floor.
I have no "unlik camera" in the object box, or elsewhere what i van find.
Just a "adjust eyes elevation...." box, location and agles settings.

Yes, make sure that's not checked, then you can click and drag the height arrow of the virtual visitor to move it up and down in 3D space.

1. In 3D view:
-> Virtual visit
-> Display all levels
2. In plan view:
-> Select the basement level (or the ground level)
-> move the visitor outside the building

I found the reason and solustion.

The visitor, and settings, are based on ground level a zero.
So the "Eyes Elevation (cm) calculates from that.
As my piscure should be from a outside surface at the sam level as the house basement floor witch is ground level -250cm, i had to calculate the "Eyes Elevation" based on that.
0 - 250cm+160cm to get eye hight of a person standing outside the basement level of the house.

Thank you all
