I am following the steps outlined in TechNotes "How to Superimpose a 2D Floor Plan onto a 3D Model" and I can pull an Ordnance Survey plan into the model as described but it is not coming in to scale and it is also distorted, in the 'y' axis I think. Can anyone help, I've been ont his for days now.

It may be set to millimeters or inches, instead of metres.<BR /> <BR /> If you open the OS map in ArchiCAD using 'File'&gt;'Open', with the correct units in the translator, is it to the correct proportion and size?<BR /> <BR /> If you still have problems, maybe attach the files to your next post and someone can check them out for you (save them in a zip first).<BR /> <BR /> Hope that helps!
