Home Theater Projection Screen model?

Post by idididid »

I'm looking for a ceiling-mounted electric or pull-down home theater projection screen model.

I haven't found anything suitable in the search interface here or on a generic sweethome3d google search.

If there's no suitable model, is it possible somehow to just do a rectangular box from the ceiling? How?

Thanks!

I did find that one, but looks like it's two pieces as one object and apparently I'll need to install a converter first before I can import it.

If there's no suitable model, is it possible somehow to just do a rectangular box from the ceiling? How? I thought of putting a thin wall in, but it would be ceiling to floor, when I need it to be 1 foot from the ceiling to about 5 feet from the floor.

Challenge accepted. What dimensions do you want for the screen?

If you don't like Clint you can change him in the model material "ScreenArea" in the Modify Furniture dialog.

THANK YOU, @Bubblobill!

That's perfect! Even better since it's resizeable - I can now finally decide what size screen my room will actually need after we finish the remodel. This will go a long way to convincing my wife.

For posterity, here's a good home theater calculator that allows you to calculate optimal screen sizes depending on room sizes, viewing distance, and specific projector model zoom levels.

I hope this helps others who are designing their home theater/fun rooms.
