How do you use the Camera Input options?

How can you use the keyboard controls you are used to in SketchUp, or Revit, or Rhino?

And use them in Lumion instead of using the Lumion keyboard/camera controls?

Lumion 2024 introduces new options for using other keyboard inputs so you can use the keys you are familiar with from your CAD software.

Only keys that are common to both Lumion and the CAD, and that are part of the Lumion camera features can be provided.

CAD supported:

  • SketchUp
  • Revit
  • Rhino

The options are available from the Settings > Input screen.

Select your CAD keyboard actions from the Camera Input dropdown list.
