When loading floorplans or other drawings to Arkio these often include dimension references that can be used to correctly scale the object in Arkio. The easiest way to scale objects is to load them in the correct size on placement in Arkio using the correct unit or size input (images) in the create>Import tab.
If this does not result in the correct size (visible when placing a person in the scene) you can also manually scale the objects by grabbing the corner of the drawing or 3D objects bounding box with your controller or the edit tool and scaling it proportionally using the diagonal guide line.
The diagonal scale edits will also snap to increments of 0,1 and 1 for easier decimal size corrections.
If you know the object’s approximate dimensions you can model a volume in Arkio with the correct size and scale the other object proportionally until it matches the size of the approximated volume. In case you have a more complex object it can help to focus on a smaller element inside that model. For vehicles, tires are often an easier reference that can help guide the correct size. It can require some back-and-forth edits to correctly size objects like this in Arkio but it’s more intuitive than scaling the objects in traditional modeling tools.
When working with floorplans you can use a similar trick and first model a volume in Arkio with dimensions shown on the drawing. Using that object you can pick up and reference the scale of the drawings by dragging the corner proportionally to match up that drawing to the element.
One of our users recently asked us about this and we see opportunities to further enhance the scaling in Arkio in future updates using size inputs. If you have any questions about workflows let us know so we can make it into a guide that can help other Arkio users!
