hi all,

how do you guys put an image into 3d model? for exapmle, how to make a virtual painting or a label with text. to be more precise, i want to add that plain 2D picture into a project just like a poster on a wall.

any help would be helpful.

... and have the image you want loaded with your libraries, calling it up with the Custom parameter.

You asked for a method to place a single image in a model.

1: place desired image in Library by making a new folder in the library called PICTURES.
2: Reload library.
3: Locate "Picture 10" object using Object dialog box and searching to find it: Path might be: Object Library>Pictures and Texts> Picture 10
4: Place object.
5: Open object dialog.
Set Custom picture name to your picture's file name.

Picture will represent in rendering.

heh, i am having some problems again... does anyone know what to do in order to increase working speed in archicad? i mean, at the moment my project takes about 1gb ram (i have 1.5gb on pc total) to run and the program is realy slow - it takes about 10 min to start and smth about 2 min to place a simple 3d object. Will it work if i change the size of the 3d window? or should i work on a separete room with F5 function?
