Hi Mische, Thank You for checking it and providing the video tutorial (and on a Saturday!) It's extremely helpful to see the techniques you use to build a room from nothing. Since I'm not very familiar with Blender, I was hoping to be able to use the pre-modeled rooms as I have a number of them already provided to me (in OBJ format) and I don't want to recreate all from scratch. Your tutorial gave me a couple clues which have proved extremely useful :
1) the model I provided had a 90 degree rotation which had not been "applied"

2) I had the room origin set to the center of the model, not on XY plane
I'm assuming one or both of these points were important as I've been able to export a model which *almost* fits. After hacking around with tour.xml values for "prealign" and "center" in the depthmap definition, it's really close.

I believe the actual problem is where I've placed the panocam - if it's not in the exact same place as the actual real world cam, then the exported model won't match the original pan file. Do you have any tricks for how to determine/place the panocam to match real world?
Thanks again! Scott

Yes, preparing for krpano works only with well placed PanoCams:

• Delete the UV material
  
• Add a new PanoCam
  
• Apply the new Pano material to the model
  
• Move and rotate the Pano_HANDLE until the panorama fits to the model

OMG, exactly what I needed - would never have figured that out on my own so thank you for providing the video! I've followed it and getting much better results. Have just purchased an additional version of PanoCamAdder+ ;)

<<<<EDIT - have moved my question about refreshing the model to its own post in Depthmap Support >>>

Thanks again Mische! Cheers, Scott
** can anyone explain why oy and oz axes seem to be transposed? In my model, oy changes height and oz changes front/back values

Sorry to bug you again Mische, but I've followed your video example with another model and still can't figure out why "Make Export Ready" button rotates the model on its side (and therefore distorts my new skin). I've made a short video to show that there are no outstanding translations on model, cam, or cam handle but clicking the button results in weird translation. Is there anything else I need to do to get ready for export?
