Decide the resolution, say 200dpi, scan, save as jpg and bring into archicad with the view scale set at the same scale The import figure tool will allow you to set the same dpi .i.e. 200 dpi. Then simply trace the contours. <BR /> <BR /> Cheers Wed, 30 Mar 2005 08:43:28 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Area-plan-with-level-curves-to-use-as-background/m-p/52813#M26902 Anonymous 2005-03-30T08:43:28Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Area-plan-with-level-curves-to-use-as-background/m-p/52814#M26903 thanx Wed, 30 Mar 2005 08:45:29 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Area-plan-with-level-curves-to-use-as-background/m-p/52814#M26903 ICEdevil 2005-03-30T08:45:29Z
