Is there a way to add simple graphics

Post by beral »

I'm looking for a way to add simple 2D graphics, for example a line, rectangle or circle. I guess for a rectangle I can use a box with minimum height and no fill, but I'd like to be able to draw a circle around a round table and chairs to show the effective boundary of the set (I'm trying to model a church hall set up with round tables for a party, to see how many tables I can get in). All suggestions and work-rounds appreciated!

Beral:

Here's a workaround.

Import this model and make sure its orientation is correct. Combine 4 to make a circle, and use Group , or Export as OBJ, or Export as furniture . You can than give it any height (close to zero) and diameter to indicate the space a round table with chairs occupies.

In the same way you could make an object from 4 thin boxes and export/import it to form a square.
