Buildings, Inside & Out

I just picked up the farm house with a fast grab yesterday.

After playing with it a short time, I think I might want to return it.

It seems to me that if I want a building exterior, I wouldn't want to load a model with a complete and detailed interior.

If I want an interior scene, I wouldn't want to load and navigate through a complete building. It would be far better to load and set up a shot of a single room.

Thoughts?

    Can't you use it for either, or is the size of the set too big for your PC as is?

    Nothing to stop you returning it, but many people complain about not having an inside for a building, and want that too.

    Is there some reason why you can't just turn off the features you don't want? That's what I would do.

    I did something similar with the Dream Home, which has MANY rooms, a couple of exteriors, etc. I loaded them all into one scene. Then I grouped them by room. Then I just turn on and off the groups I need. With it off, performance is not hindered.

    I agree, in fact that's a huge selling point for me. I'm more likely to buy a building with more versatility that I can use for either indoor or out, than I am just a shell or diorama.

    I think this is the answer I am looking for. I'm just not sure how to turn off portions of the model.

    You use the 'Eye' icon in the Scene pane to turn off items in the Scene, at the left of the item you want to switch off.

    I knew that would turn the visibility off, I thought the pieces would still use system resources.

    Most outdoor scenes don't have an inside.
