Re: led moldings First moldings. Here you can download 3D models of moldings. Other 3D model sites will most likely have some too. You can also create your own moldings using boxes and cylinders. Fort a long time now walls support baseboards. See the modify wall dialog for the properties. To show images here on the forum you upload them to an image host like imgur or mediafire and post the link in your forum post. That was the easy stuff :) Led molding makes it a lot more difficult since it includes lights. The easiest solution is to use light panels stuck to stretched boxes that you use as molding. But working with lights is not really a beginners topic. Light doesn't show in the 3Dview, you can only see the lights when you render a photo at one of the two highest quality levels. That can take a lot of rendering before you have your lights right. You need to get some experience to closely predict the result before rendering. First read about lights in this forum. https://www.sweethome3d.com/support/forum/viewthread_thread,12751 and follow the URL's in the second and third post. Also read this: https://www.sweethome3d.com/support/forum/viewthread_thread,10388_offset,0 As said, it's not really a beginners topic since it requires both creating models and integrating light. Left unsaid that you might want led moldings IN the floor (flush with the surface) which is yet another problem to solve. I suggest that you work in stages. Start with the moldings before trying to turn them into led strips. ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |

Re: led moldings This can help too: Ha! I totally forgot that there is a plugin for moldings!https://www.sweethome3d.com/support/forum/viewthread_thread,11103#51787 I'll remember from now on: First check "Is there a plugin for that?"  ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |

Re: led moldings my favorite way to make a diode backlight behind a molding step or under the ceiling is to create a chain of colored spheres from the new expanded light library. These spheres are very good, they can be pulled out as needed. Old balls are not allowed, they can only be balls. I take a height of 3.5 cm, a depth of 3.5cm, and a width of 33.5cm. For example. Other proportions are possible, the result will be equally good. The power of each sphere should be assigned quite large, 20-40%. And most importantly, the color. The highlights from orange spheres look best. But of course you can also assign cool colors. It's to your taste. The elongated spheres should be positioned with an overlap of 1/4 of each other, because the brightness of the light decreases at the edges, and an overlap of 1/4 of the width will equalize the brightness. Such a chain can be grouped, then copied and in a new section this group can be stretched to a new length. Or shorten it, the other sizes remain the same. It is very convenient with these spheres. I like the panels less, there are a lot of unnecessary side lights. The spheres shine more clearly and without surprises.  |

Re: led moldings image1.jpeg & image2.jpeg Looks like a partially lowered ceiling. Use a resized Box that you elevate to the ceiling but leave a little space above it where you can add a lightsource like a panel or a chain of spheres like GaudiGalopin3324 suggested. image4.jpeg You can create this molding with boxes. You only see the outside of the molding so it makes no difference how the inside looks. The glass front can be a thin box that you make partially transparent by exporting the box and editing the resulting MTL file. Rename the first line with "newmtl ..." to "newmtl Glass". Add a line with "d 0.5" after the last line of that "newmtl Glass" block. Remove the other newmtl blocks. Edit the OBJ file and change all "usemtl ..." lines to "usemtl Glass". Save the files and import the OBJ file. The resulting object is a half transparent glass. You can change the d 0.5 value. Closer to 0.0 is more transparent, 1.0 is fully opaque (d 0.0 makes it invisible). You can still change the color if you want. image3.jpeg Same as with image4, just a different design of the molding. image5.jpeg Place the mirror a little away from the wall and add a lightsource behind the mirror. Probably a lightpanel that is a little smaller than the mirror. image6.jpeg Another different design of molding where you add a lightsource in the hidden recess. No need for glass for this one unless you want to. image7.jpeg Like image1 and image 2. A box close to the ceiling with a lightsource on top. All very easy to create. You can use boxes, cylinders, and triangles to create 1 meter of molding. Export it and import. Now you can easily stretch the molding to the desired length. GaudiGalopin3324 and other members are much better at advising what lightsources should work best, but you can of course experiment with different lightsources and see what you think gives the best result. ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |

Re: led moldings here I am sending pictures from the architect and my plan, I was told that I won't be able to go to the balcony with the bathroom. If anyone knows or has an idea for a bathroom... the only thing bothering me is the bathroom and the lighting. https://www.mediafire.com/view/uj828rkkxuzsibc/Stan1.jpeg/file https://www.mediafire.com/view/waasztd9o1ddt9e/nacrt_Rebec.jpg/file |

Re: led moldings Goodness! Where to start... My first thing would be the source images. Pictures of screens? Low res? The only room labels are in (presumably) Croatian? No room labels on the new plan? This makes it tricky to understand what you are trying to do, and what you currently have. My next problem is that your floorplan looks to differ from the professional existing floorplan. (Not talking about the modifications - just the basic outline. i.e. the balcony on the left has moved position, the top walls are no longer aligned either side of the staircase, the lower left angle of the balcony wall does not match.) Next, your walls do not account for the differing thicknesses. External walls look to be 30 or 25 cm, internal 10, 15 or 20. You have a single very thin wall type, probably the default SH3D 7.5 cm. Then we get to the real head-scratchers. If I'm reading this right you have three "reception rooms", two of them huge... on a one bed flat! And your kitchen and bedroom are tiny. Yet there is no space for wardrobes in your bedroom, and your kitchen looks just about big enough to prepare a pot noodle. In both the bathroom and kitchen it looks like you have moved the main waste sources (kitchen sink, toilet) far away from the soil pipes (as marked on the original plan). This may or may not cause issues for your design. My first suggestion would be to replicate the professional plan exactly, then make a copy and use the copy as the basis for your new design. You can import a high res scan of the original plan into SH3D and use it as a background to replicate it in SH3D. My second suggestion is that once you finish the first suggestion, share those two SH3D files so that people can play around in SH3D to come up with suggestions or alternatives. At the moment, I can't understand the reasons for your choices, but it seems that you took a small 2 bed flat and turned it into a wildly imbalanced 1 bed flat. Other helpful info to provide is: - Which way is North on your plan? Important for considering the suns path. - What is in each direction in the plan? Unusually it looks like this flat has nothing around it as there are balconies and windows facing every direction. Most flats I know have one or two walls shared with a neighbour, so no windows on them. Mention if a side overlooks a road, a park, or whatever. I'd personally like to preserve a park view from my living room, but could sacrifice a road view from the kitchen for example. - Are there any walls that cannot be changed. i.e. structural. - Is there anything above this flat? i.e. do the stairs continue up? Is there a ceiling lantern above the staircase that you could rob light from? - Could you put roof lights or sun tunnels in the ceiling? And one thing I just noticed in the original plan... Do you have to go through the bathroom to reach Soba 1, or is there a door missing in the hallway? Anyway, just some food for thought. |

Re: led moldings sjb007 made some very good points. Create an accurate base plan from the architectural plan and save a copy of that. Post a link to that plan and a few members here will gladly take a look and make suggestions. Include the missing information that sjb007 mentioned. Concerning the bathroom not allowed to extend onto the balcony: why? Ask the architect for the reason. If it's because of building codes there's nothing to do about that but if there are technical reasons ask what those are. Maybe with a different design you can still extend the room, if only a little. It probably has to do with weight, drainage points, and most likely that the new outside wall (balcony border) can not be build on a load bearing base. ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |

Re: led moldings A question that occurred to me after posting my (first) magnum opus was whether the architect was denying the possibility of moving the bathroom wall out at all, or just to the balconies edge. As Keet said, it is possibly structural, so no chance. But then that begs the question why is it OK to take it it all the way up to the balcony on the right hand side of your plan? Another thing that would help when looking at your plan: a list of what you require vs. what you would like vs. don't need vs. don't want. i.e. Require:
Would like:
Don't need:
Don't want:
Because I'm looking at your plan, and I see the shape of a radical redesign moving many elements around that would be a much better balance. I'm not sure though if the soil stacks are universal. i.e. have a WC or bathroom where the kitchen currently is, and move the kitchen and have it drain into the current bathroom soil stack. Are the floors solid concrete? Or is there a cavity that waste pipes can be routed through? I ask because having just fit a new shower tray in a concrete floored bathroom, routing the waste while maintaining adequate falls in the pipework can be a nightmare. If your floors are concrete it severely limits how you can route waste pipes. For instance, your new plans toilet is on the other side of a doorway. If the floor is concrete, this simply doesn't work. |

Re: led moldings Here's a pic of a rough alternative layout: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GCxhX1-Z1z6N...FAU6W/view?usp=drive_link Here's the SH3D file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ID_1Qvwom5Ww...9Ogh5/view?usp=drive_link It was made using a scaled copy of the original plan, so is accurate from that point of view. However it is not a finished design. A lot of things were just tossed in as placeholders. |

Re: led moldings Hi hansmex. I can see what you're trying to do - minimise the number of changes in walls. Unfortunately, I see a couple of issues around waste management if the soil stacks are as they seem to be shown in the original plan. Especially if the floor is solid. Your bathroom and WC (does that even fit a toilet?) are not adjacent to the down-pipes. |

Re: led moldings SJB, You're right. I made a few assumptions: - money is not a problem - architecture is not a problem (although construction may be) - problems can be solved (e.g. use a pump to get rid of waste water) - make something special using existing features - paper is patient: throw it away and start again H ---------------------------------------- Hans new website - under constuction hansdirkse.info |
