Tutorials ModelCraft help Walkthroughs
Starter library
About thirty ready-made things to place in a model: doors and windows, furniture, kitchen and bath, columns and stairs, trees, people and a car.
Written for ModelCraft 0.4. The same help is inside the app: press F1.
The Starter library gives you everyday things at real sizes, so a model reads at a glance: a door to show the scale of a room, a car in a driveway, people and trees around a building.
Place one
- In Components on the left, click Starter library.
- Pick a thing, such as Chair.
- Click where it goes.
On a floor, a table or the ground, it stands on it. Doors and windows are made to go in walls: click on a wall and they stand in it, facing out. (They sit on the wall's face; they do not cut an opening. To make one, draw a rectangle on the wall where the window goes and push it through.)
Each thing is a component: picking the same one again places another copy, and every copy changes if you edit one. It also shows in the Components list, with Place to add more.
What is in it
| Group | Things |
|---|---|
| Doors and windows | Door, double door, window, wide window, garage door |
| Furniture | Dining table, round table, chair, bar stool, sofa, armchair, double and single bed, desk, bookshelf, wardrobe |

They are simple shapes, made of solids you can paint, scale or make unique and change. The wall cabinet hangs at 1.45 m above where you click.
