scanned logo needs to be inserted vertically into floorplan

Anonymous — Thu, 25 May 2023 16:31:44 GMT

Can anyone please tell me how to incorporate a scanned company logo into a dwg so that it is displayed vertically as a flat image on a back wall to the rear of a reception counter in the perspective? I dont know how to make library parts,I thought perhaps I could import the logo into library and use it as a library part but I dont know how to do that so that the image is vertical & not flat. The logo consists of square shapes stacked upon one another in the shape of a $ sign so it wouldnt even being easy to reconstruct using walls or slabs. Perhpas someone has a very good idea of how I can achieve the end result. I appreciate ANY tips or suggestions. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this for me.

easiest way IMO would be to use the library part - Picture under Decoration in the archicad library. - once you've placed the object, open the settings and apply the image.

But wait! there's more - in order to place the image into the picture as a custom part you need to load the image into your library. goto library manager and add the image and then type the name of the image in the object settings dialogue.

1. load the logo into your library through Library Manager.
2. Write down the name of the logo file (e.g logo.jpg)
3. Open the picture object in your library
4. Tick the "use custom image" box
5. Type in the name of the logo.
6. Place picture object in plan.

voila. it should now be there...
