Lumion Shortcut Key Summary
1. In placement mode, you can select multiple graphic models by pressing the __AI_T_SC_0_ key.
2. To move or copy the selected object:
- Drag the mouse while holding __AI_C_SC_1_ to move objects.
- Hold __AI_C_SC_1_ to adjust the object’s height.
- Hold __AI_C_SC_3_ to rotate the object.
3. Pressing __AI_S_SC_1__ while moving or placing an object temporarily disables capture, allowing free movement.
4. Hold __AI_S_SC_0_ to align an object’s orientation with the slope’s normal direction during movement, except for trees and plants.
5. When moving an object, you can align a selected individual object with the orientation of the object beneath it.
6. Holding __AI_S_SC_0_ while moving will temporarily disable capture. This may cause the object to float or overlap with others.
7. Use __AI_S_SC_0_ + Same Height to set the selected object to the same height as the clicked object.
8. To match the height of another object:
- Select the object, then modify it.
- Click the menu icon for the object whose height you want to inherit.
- Go to Transformation > Same Height or press __AI_SC_1_ + space.
9. In camera mode, save up to 10 camera positions using __AI_C_SC0_ + 1 to 9. Load saved positions with __AI_T_SC_1__ + 1 to 9.
10. For high-resolution texture maps, press __AI_T_SC_0_ + Reload. Lumion will ignore built-in texture sizes and try to match the model’s original texture resolution. This applies when using the ‘Import Model’ mode and assigning standard or light texture materials.
11. Manually update lighting and sky reflection maps by pressing __AI_S_SC_0_ +. This updates sky textures and lighting, which usually refresh only when changing weather settings.
