- **Roughness** (Supports additional texture map).
- **Normal** (Supports additional  texture map).

 

#### 4.2 Lumion View Material Panel

**4.2.1. Additional Material Properties**

Lumion View has its own *Material* panel that includes additional settings. These can be accessed by clicking the brush icon in the plugin toolbar for the SketchUp material that has been selected:

![](https://support.lumion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/19181766448028_1753908284477-1.png?width=317&height=84&name=19181766448028_1753908284477-1.png)

The following additional *Material* Types and settings are available in this *Material* Panel:

**4.2.2. Standard**

**![](https://support.lumion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/19181766449180_1753908285144-1.png?width=374&height=38&name=19181766449180_1753908285144-1.png)**  
The *Standard Material* offers additional properties to the ones included in your 3D modeling software. Such as:

**Emissiveness**

**![Emissiveness.gif](https://support.lumion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/19181674923420_1753908286512-1.gif?width=374&height=299&name=19181674923420_1753908286512-1.gif)**  
The *Emissive Strength* setting can be accessed directly from the Lumion View *Material* button under the *Standard Material* tab. This will make a surface cast light - ideal for lamps and screens. The brightness can be adjusted in Nits. Note that the amount of sunlight (Brightness) has an impact on the visibility of *Emissiveness*.

 

**4.2.3. Glass**

**![glass.gif](https://support.lumion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/19181978239132_1753908290193-1.gif?width=451&height=271&name=19181978239132_1753908290193-1.gif)**  
The *Glass Material* can be assigned to any surface from the additional *Material* properties panel. You can adjust *Reflectivity* and add thickness to the *Glass* by enabling the *Volumetric* toggle. 

*Glass* can also be colorized and will cast colored shadows. The transparency of the *Glass* will depend on how dark the color is and on the *Opacity* setting of the surface. 

 

**4.2.4. Water**

![water.gif](https://support.lumion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/19182923285404_1753908298009-1.gif?width=496&height=226&name=19182923285404_1753908298009-1.gif)  
The *Water Material* can also be applied from the additional *Material* properties panel. It behaves and looks similar to *Glass* but includes a *Waves* setting that allows setting the scale and strength of wavy patterns.

**4.2.5. Material Auto-Assignment**

Surfaces that have the word 'Glass' or 'Water' in it's *Material* name will automatically be assigned the *Glass* or *Water Material* in Lumion View.

### **5. Visual Styles and Customization**

**![](https://support.lumion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/19183536946332_1753908304801-1.png?width=49&height=48&name=19183536946332_1753908304801-1.png)**

**5.1.1. Surface Finishes**

Lumion View includes different customizable *Conceptual Styles* and settings that can be accessed via the *Visual Styles* tab. These *Styles* will replace the *Materials* in your model (except for *Glass* and *Water*) with a different color, texture, or surface finish. *Styles* also affect the shading of the model. 

![Styles.gif](https://support.lumion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/19183853658140_1753908306806-1.gif?width=481&height=274&name=19183853658140_1753908306806-1.gif)

The following *Conceptual Styles* are currently available:

- ***Clay*:** Applies a smooth surface finish.
- ***Wood*:** Applies a wood texture.
- ***Styrofoam*:** Applies a styrofoam pattern.
- ***Glossy*:** Applies a reflective surface finish.

 

**5.1.2. Styles Colorization**

All *Conceptual Styles* can also be colorized using the *Color Picker*.

 

#### 5.2. Edges

**5.2.1. Edges Toggle**

- ***4K*:** Renders the view in 3840 x 2060.

 

**6.1.2. Aspect Ratios:**

This window allows you to copy your last render to the clipboard or quickly go to the folder where it was saved.

### **7. Miscellaneous**

**7.1. Window Controls**

![](https://support.lumion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/19164553613212_1753908320374-1.png?width=148&height=44&name=19164553613212_1753908320374-1.png)  
These buttons allows you to *Minimize*, *Maximize*, or *Close* the Lumion View window. Lumion View can also be resized by clicking + dragging the corners or edges of the window.

 

**7.2. Multiple Windows**

**![](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/19164540506012_1753908320930-1.png)**  
Lumion View can be run multiple times at once (one per model file open). Closing the model file or switching to a different model file will automatically close Lumion View. 

**Note:** Multiple open SketchUp and Lumion View Editor windows are hardware dependent.  For performance reasons we suggest in most cases using just the one Lumion View Editor window.

 

**7.3. Pin to Top**

![](https://support.lumion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/19164535208092_1753908321528-1.png?width=118&height=83&name=19164535208092_1753908321528-1.png)  
Clicking this button will make Lumion View always be on top. When this is enabled, the interface will be hidden if the cursor is not inside the Lumion View window. 

 

**7.4. Account and Feedback**

![](https://support.lumion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/19164417956252_1753908322136-1.png?width=223&height=270&name=19164417956252_1753908322136-1.png)  
The *Account Options* menu shows your **Username**, **Email**, and **License** information. It also allows you to quickly go to your *Account* , send feedback, or log out. 

 

**7.5. Help Screen**

**![](https://support.lumion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/19164360944156_1753908323118-1.png?width=670&height=443&name=19164360944156_1753908323118-1.png)**  
The *Help* screen explains the Lumion View interface and keyboard shortcuts. It can be accessed by clicking the **  button on the bottom right corner at any time and can be closed by hitting the **Esc** Key. 

 

**7.6. SketchUp Shortcuts**

![](https://support.lumion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/19181674925340_1753908324077-1.png?width=430&height=188&name=19181674925340_1753908324077-1.png)  
Keyboard Shortcuts can be added for Lumion View actions by going to *Window \> Preferences \> Shortcuts*, under Extensions/Lumion View.

### **8. Limitations**

**8.1. SketchUp:** Section Planes are not visible in Lumion View.

**8.2. SketchUp:** FaceMe (Billboard) components don't continuously face the camera.

**8.3.** **SketchUp:** Importing *Lights* from SketchUp Lumion Pro is not possible in Lumion 2024. This is planned for Lumion 2025.0 via classic import and for Lumion 2025.1 via *LiveSync*.

### **9. Known Issues**

**9.1.** The *Current* resolution render size output sometimes does not match the actual size of the window. 

**9.2.** Copied *Lights* are not sharing color changes.

### **10. Upcoming Features and Improvements**

**10.1.** Importing a SketchUp model edited using Lumion View into Lumion Pro will import all PBR *Material* settings and *Lights*. 

**10.2.** SketchUp time of day settings synchronization with Lumion View.

**10.3.** Render quality improvements (radiance cache implementation).

**10.4.** Shorter startup times.

**10.5.** Remembering Lumion View settings between sessions.

**10.6.** Clouds System.
