Alignment Tool Feature Request
The attached screenshots are an alignment tool that I use in my preferred 3D software that would be handy for Dimension since there aren't multiple viewports at present.
This helps those of us that find we change camera angles, lighting, and overall composition often. Currently the only way to have an item placed in the exact same spot as one already in the scene is to manually type in the x,y,z coordinates. :)
The screenshot flow is as follows.
1. Click on the object in the scene that you wish to align to.
2. Shift+ left click the second item…4 votes -

UV Map Editing or UV Map included
3D Models should come with UV Map for easy artwork creation.
3 votesAll of the models that we include in the app or sell on Adobe Stock already have UVs added, so just to be clear you’re asking for a 2D image version of the UVs that you could take into Photoshop or Illustrator, etc, correct?

Pivoting
Can we can we add additional pivot points? Like bottom left, top right, etc.?
5 votesThis is definitely something we can do! We started with 3 for simplicity but we can add all the major points and have a way to set a custom point.

Background Artificial Sky & Cloud Controls
In many cases it is easy to find a good exterior photo to use as a background. However finding photos with perfect sky is problematic. If you could add composting controls for sky and clouds it would make the compostition interactive.

Lock Render Preview to Bookmarked Camera
It would be helpful to lock the Render Preview to a bookmarked camera.
Placing objects can require constant movement around the scene and it's currently a little awkward jumping back to the bookmarked camera to check the composition, then re-positioning the camera back where you need it to edit objects.
Having the render preview set to your desired export view would eliminate this, leaving you free to move around the scene and make edits, with one on eye on the final composition the whole time.
4 votesThanks for the suggestion! We’re thinking through the Render Preview and how we want to improve that experience right now and this is one option for sure!

Adding Another Horizon/Grid
The ability to add a new level/horizon/layer of grid, for example to lay objects out as if on a set of shelves, would be a great help, please

360 background image
I would like to be able to use a 360 still or video with Dimension so that when I rotate the view the background rotates in relation to the objects in the center.

Reflect/Mirror/Flip 3d Object
I need ability to duplicate and relection 3d element. Right now if we duplicate 3d stuff on the left and want it the same look and position on the right - reflected look. It is impossible to get the look using rotation orbit.
9 votesGreat suggestion! Thank you for the detailed request.

Step and Repeat (Clone/Array)
It would be very usefull if designers could "step and repeat" objects in 3 dimensions to create a "store" visualisation effect. Important issue is that only one object can be modified. If the "master" object is changed, all objects in the "step and repeat" group should be automatically updated.
10 votesGreat suggestion! Thank you for posting details!

Background Layer Controls (position, rotate, scale)
Currently the background image is simply projected as is with some basic controls for choosing between scale modes (crop, fit, or scale). Controls would allow you to position, rotate, and scale the background image freely in relation to the camera.

Preset Camera Views
Snap to views: front, side back, bottom.
Allow to choose object relative to snap view too as well.
12 votesThank you for the suggestion! Absolutely top/back, etc. views are very helpful. Something we are looking into!

Depth of Field Sensitivity Balancing
the blur mode is realy intense and hper sensitive. It's also difficult to regester exactly where the focus point is. i click a spot and it focuses near (not on) the spot.

Find and Replace Colors
It would be awesome to add a feature where if you have a common color in the object, you can select the same color and change it to another color, like a find and replace color.

Get Dimensions of Selection
need sizing for the individual properties, currently lookingat the billboard, but I cannot get the information on what size the POSTER is, so I can create porportionate 2D art.
4 votesThank you for the suggestion. This is an interesting one, shouldn’t be too hard to implement. :) Just so I understand, you’re looking for a way to start with the 3D model and get the exact dimensions of one of the parts (such as the sign portion of a billboard, screen portion of a phone, etc.) so you can make the images to that specific dimension, correct?

Gradient options for background
It would be interesting to be able to degrade (gradient) in the background instead of a single color!

Depth of Field Preview in Canvas
Quite often when rendering, my object stays blurry while the background renders well. This happens about half of the time, when rendering the exact same file (only changed the decal) which has rendered fine before. How can this happen?
I changed the render quality and tried both PNG and PSD, but that doesn't seem to solve the problem.
See attachment for example.
1 voteWhile not technically a bug, this is caused by an issue with the app.
There’s a feature called Depth of Field which lets you add blur to the render. You set it up in Design Mode in the environment properties. However, depth of field doesn’t preview in the canvas, so you have to turn on the render preview window to be able to configure it properly.
Currently there is no preview in the canvas so many users are accidentally creating renders that are blurry. I’m going to mark this as a feature request for Depth of Field in the Canvas which is something we’re going to add soon!
