LiveSync settings: ![](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/13455297497756_1753908629705-1.png) ![](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/13455297499292_1753908630337-1.png) - **Repair Mode:** Use this option if you notice that there are polygons in the *Imported Model* that are generally different from other local polygons. That difference might be that one or more looks darker, seems transparent or is missing, or the texture mapping is different. Or, the polygon(s) are incorrectly shaped or not fitting with nearby polygons. *Repair mode* needs to do a lot of checking, and if your model is complex/detailed then it will take more time to process and where needed, to correct the issues it finds. - **Optimize Geometries:** Employs a method to reduce the overall number of polygons so that the model works more efficiently in Lumion. You can leave this setting as *On* in most cases.   ### 5. Vectorworks in the context of the real world. Model your design in its future environment. Vectorworks is the complete solution for the architect’s design process, and the new *LiveSync for* Vectorworks feature pulls Lumion’s exceptional real-time rendering technology into the mix. With only a click, you can synchronize your Vectorworks 3D model with *Lumion*, allowing you to dress your model with elegant materials and objects from an expansive content library. Instantly, you can see your model in its real-life setting, whether that’s in the center of an urban metropolis or a picturesque rural environment. You will need Lumion 9.3 (or above) and Vectorworks 2019 SP3 (or above) to use the *LiveSync* functionality.   ![](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/360029768993_1753908630936-1.png) ***Lumion LiveSync for Vectorworks*** Immediately set up a live, real-time visualization between Vectorworks and Lumion. Change the Vectorworks model’s shape and you’ll see these changes taking place, in real-time, in *Lumion’s* breathtaking, lifelike environment. As you continue modeling in Vectorworks, you can simultaneously view your project in *Lumion* surrounded by an immersive, fully featured landscape (mountains, water, grass). Beautiful materials make the design 'pop', while photo-realistic lighting suddenly heightens your sense of environment, realism and depth. **Real-time materials synchronization** Instantly breathe life into your synced Vectorworks model by applying any of *Lumion’s* 1000+ high-definition materials in the *Lumion* editor. As you continue to develop the design, you can tweak the materials exactly to your liking and then save your material layouts for future rendering. **Live point-of-view synchronization** *LiveSync* now enables live point-of-view synchronization. Turn it on and immediately adopt the Vectorworks camera perspective, making your work easier, faster, and more enjoyable.  **Automatic model imports** When establishing the *LiveSync* connection, *Lumion* will automatically import your Vectorworks model. Continue working on and modifying your project even after you turn off *LiveSync*, and easily save the file as an .LS for future rendering or development. ### 6.
