Troubleshooting

I can't see my model after importing and placing it in my scene?
- Place your model at 0,0,0 in AutoCAD before exporting it.
- Check the scale of your model.

I can't assign a Lumion material to individual surfaces?
Lumion will always combine surfaces that use the same material in AutoCAD. If you want to assign a Lumion material to a specific surface, you must assign a unique material to that surface in AutoCAD before exporting the model.

How do I update the model in Lumion after making changes to it in AutoCAD?
Use the Reload model function in Lumion.
