QUESTION

Free Fireplace 3D models for download, files in 3ds, max, c4d, maya, blend, obj, fbx with low poly, animated, rigged, game, and VR options. The 3D water fireplace insert uses high-tech controls (button, remote control, smartphone app, Wi-Fi, etc.). They can also be connected to any smart-home system. They have become much more functional and can be used any day of the year, even if it’s hot.

I would like to create a custom fireplace with an insert, hearth, and mantel. How can I do this?

ANSWER

Creative combinations of different objects such as fixtures, soffits, walls and wall openings allow you to create a wide variety of fireplace and chimney designs.

To build a chase for a fireplace insert

1. Select Build> Wall> Straight Interior Wall from the menu and draw three walls to form the chase for your fireplace and chimney. Don't worry about the exact placement of the walls right now - they can be moved into position accurately in a moment.
   
2. Select CAD> Dimensions> Interior Dimension from the menu and drag an Interior Dimension line across the room - beginning at one wall and dragging straight through the side walls of the chase.
   
3. Select the left side wall of the chase. Use the Interior Dimension on the left to set the correct distance from the left side of the room.
   
4. Repeat this process with the wall on the right side of the chase and the wall forming the front of the chase.
   

To place an insert into the chase

1. Select Build> Window> Window from the menu and click on the front wall of your chase to place a window at that location.
   This window will be used to create a wall opening an insert can be modeled in.
   If the program warns you that you are placing a window in an interior wall, click OK.
   
2. Click on the window to select it, click the Center Object edit button, and click inside the chase 'room' area. This will center the opening exactly between the two side walls.
   
3. With the window still selected, click the Open Object edit button and in the Window Specification dialog that displays:
   
   • On the General panel, click the Window Type drop-down arrow and select Fixed Glass from the list. If you already know the size and height you want the opening to be, you can also specify it here.
     
   • On the Casing panel, uncheck Use Interior Casing and Use Exterior Casing.
     
   • In Home Designer Pro, select the Sill panel, and uncheck Use Interior Sill and Use Exterior Sill.
     
   • On the Lites panel, specify 1 for both Lites Across and Lites Vertical.
     
   • On the Materials panel, click on the word Glass, click the Select Material button, then browse and select a Fire material from the Library.
     You can choose the other materials now if you like or wait until later. They can, of course, be changed at any time.
     
   • Click OK to close the dialog and apply your changes.
     
   
   
4. Select View> Library Browser from the menu to open the Library Browser window.
   
   • Browse to Interiors> Accessories> Fireplace Accessories.
     
   • Depending on your program, there may be several fireplace screens available. Click on one to select it, and then click once in your floor plan to place the selected screen in your plan.
     
5. With the fireplace screen still selected, click the Move edit handle and drag the screen so that it is directly in front of the window forming the insert opening.
   
6. Select 3D> Create Camera View> Elevation from the menu and click and drag a camera view in the direction of the window and screen, keeping the camera arrow perpendicular to the front wall.
   
7. If you don't see the fireplace screen, navigate to Tools> Display Options from the menu and place a checkmark in the Disp column for the 'Furniture, Interior' display layer. In this elevation view:
   
   • Click on the frame of the window to select it and resize the opening as desired using the edit handles that display.
     
   • Click on the fireplace screen to select it, and move and resize it using the edit handles so that it fits inside the frame of the window.
     
   • When you are satisfied with the appearance of the frame and screen, select File> Close View to close the camera view and return to floor plan view.
     The Elevation tool is not available in Home Designer Interiors. The Full Camera tool, which is available in all programs, can be used instead.
     
   
   
8. In floor plan view, select Window> Zoom from the menu, then click and drag a rectangular marquee around the fireplace insert chase, including the screen in the selection.
   
9. Click on the fireplace screen to select it, hold down the Ctrl/Command key on your keyboard, and drag the screen into the center of the window using the Move edit handle. If the screen snaps to the outside edge of the window opening, click the Open Object edit button and increase the Depth, or thickness, of the screen to 6 inches, then click OK and try again.
   

If you have trouble selecting the fireplace screen, selecting nearby objects such as the wall or window instead, click the Select Next Object edit button or press the Tab key on your keyboard until the screen is selected.

Many custom objects can be designed using the Soffit tool.

To add a hearth

1. Select Build> Cabinet> Soffit from the menu, then click once in the plan to create a soffit.
   
2. Select the soffit to display its edit handles and use those handles to move the soffit into position in front of the fireplace and then resize it as needed.
   
3. With the soffit still selected, click the Open Object edit button and in the Soffit Specification dialog that displays:
   
   • On the General panel, specify the desired Height of the hearth, which should be near the bottom of the insert opening.
     
   • Specify the Floor to Bottom distance as 0', since this hearth should rest on the floor.
     
   • On the Materials panel, click on the word Soffit,then click the Select Material button and browse the Materials library to find an appropriate material for the hearth. Remember that this material can be changed at any time.
     
   • Click OK to close the dialog and apply your changes.
     
4. You can create a cap for your hearth using a second, thinner soffit placed on top of the first if you so desire.
   

As cabinets feature front items such as drawers, doors and panels, the Full Height Cabinet tool, which is another child of the Cabinet Tools, can be used to create customized mantels and square columns beneath.

To add a mantel with columns

1. Select Build> Cabinet> Full Height from the menu, then click to create a full height cabinet in front of the fireplace.
   
2. Click on the full height cabinet to select it then click the Open Object edit button. In the Full Height Cabinet Specification dialog that displays:
   
   • On the General panel, specify the Depth of your mantel.
     The Height, Width and Floor to Bottom distance can be set using the edit handles in an Elevation view.
     
   • On the Front panel, click on the bottom door of the cabinet in the preview image and click on the Delete button to remove this face item. Then click on the remaining door and specify it as a Panel in the Item Type drop-down list.
     
   • On the Door/Drawer panel, select None from the Door Handle and Drawer Handle drop-down lists.
     
   • Click OK to close the dialog and apply your changes.
     
   
   
3. With the full height cabinet still selected, use the Move edit handle to move it into position over the hearth.
   If you encounter any move restrictions while moving the mantel into place, press the Ctrl/Command key on your keyboard to override these restrictions.
   
4. A second square, paneled column can be created using the same steps as above. A mantel can be created to span the two columns.
   
5. Select 3D> Create Camera View> Elevation from the menu and click and drag a camera view in the direction of the fireplace. Use the edit handles to adjust the size and position of the mantel and columns as needed.
   

To create a chimney

Fireplace 3d Wallpaper

1. Select Build> Cabinet> Soffit from the menu, then click once in the plan to create a soffit.
   
2. Select the soffit to display its edit handles and use those handles to move the soffit into position inside the chimney chase and then resize it so that it fills the interior space of the chase 'room'.
   
3. To extend the soffit through the exterior wall so that it displays on the exterior of your plan, press the Ctrl/Command key on your keyboard, and then use the Move edit handle to move the soffit through the exterior wall at the back of the chase 'room'.
   You may need to adjust the size again afterward.
   
4. With the soffit still selected, click the Open Object edit button, and on the General panel of the the Soffit Specification dialog:
   
   • Specify a Height that will place the chimney top at an appropriate height above the roof.
     
   • Specify the Floor to Bottom distance at -18 so that the soffit reaches through the floor platform to the ground level outside.
     
   • Click OK to close the dialog and apply your changes.
     
5. You can also add a cap to the chimney if you like by selecting View> Library Browser from the menu, browsing to Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing> Ventilation and selecting a cap from the Chimney Tops folder.
   
6. Select 3D> Create Camera View> Perspective Full Overview from the menu to create a bird's-eye view of the exterior of your plan, including the chimney.
   The Full Overview tool is not available in Home Designer Interiors, instead create an exterior Full Cameraview.
   Notice that the chimney displays a beige sheetrock material. You can select a more appropriate material for the chimney right here in this view.

Materials for different objects can be selected at any time. A great way to choose materials is in a 3D Full Camera view using the Material Painter and Material Eyedropper tools.

To apply materials to the fireplace and chimney

1. In the camera view displaying the chimney created above, select 3D> Material Painter> Material Painter to open the Select Material dialog.
   
2. Browse into Home Designer Core Catalogs> Materials to find an attractive material for your chimney. The Masonry & Stone category and the Cultured Stone® Manufacturer catalog are two good places to browse for brick, block and stone materials.
   
3. Click on a material to select it, then click the OK button to close the dialog. Your cursor will now display the Material Painter icon.
   
4. Click on the chimney to apply your selected material to this object.
   
5. Now, apply new materials to the fireplace, mantel, and hearth inside the model. Select File> CloseView to close the camera view and return to floor plan view.
   
6. Select 3D> Create Camera View> Full Camera from the menu and click and drag a camera view of the fireplace inside the model. As before, use the Material Painter tool to apply new materials to the objects in your view.
   
   • Once you select a material in the Select Material dialog and click OK, you can click on as many objects as you like to apply the selected material to each.
     
   • To apply a different material, select 3D> Material Painter> Material Painter and choose a new material from the Select Material dialog.
     
   • If you would like to apply a material on one object to a different object in the view, select 3D> Material Painter> Material Eyedropper , click on the first object to load the desired material and then click on the second object to apply it.

If you want to paint the walls it is recommended that you use the wall specification dialog.

To view your custom fireplace and chimney

Select 3D> Create Camera View> Doll House View from the menu to see the entire floor, including the chimney, but without the ceiling or roof planes.

To create the appearance of a masonry chimney, you can apply a stone, block or brick material to the chase that you created using Interior Walls in the walls' specification dialogs.
If you want to use a second material to surround the fireplace opening, use the Soffit tool.

To apply materials to the chase walls and fireplace surround

1. Click on the wall that defines the front of the chimney chase 'room' to select it, and then click the Open Object edit button.
   
2. On the Materials panel of the the Wall Specification dialog, click on the words Interior Wall Surface, then click the Select Material button and browse the Materials library to find the material you prefer.
   
3. If you would like to, repeat this process with the walls defining the sides of the chase 'room.'
   
4. To create a surround for the fireplace opening, begin by placing a Soffit in your plan.
   
5. With the soffit selected, use the edit handles to reduce its width to one inch or so, depending on the material you would like to use for your surround, then use the Move edit handle to position the soffit directly against the front wall of the chase.
   
6. Select 3D> Create Camera View> Elevation from the menu and drag a camera view in the direction of the window and screen, keeping the camera arrow perpendicular to the front wall.
   Home Designer Interiors does not have the Elevation tool, instead use the Full Cameratool.
   In this view:
   
   • Click on the soffit to select it and click the Copy/Paste edit button. Click once in an empty area of the front wall of the chase to create a copy of the soffit. Then repeat these steps to create a second copy in another empty area.
     
   • Click the Select Objects tool and edit the size, shape and location of each soffit so that they form a complete surround for the fireplace opening.
     
   • Select 3D> Material Painter> Material Painter from the menu and apply the desired material to the soffits forming your fireplace surround.
