Importing images

Anonymous — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 03:13:31 GMT

Is there a way to import an image of say, a rug and be able to have it show up in the orientation I'd like it to? For example, I've imported the image that I want to use but the "grid" system of setting up pictures doesn't have it on the 8'-6" x 11'-6" setup that I want it at.

T Linds:

One way to handle rugs is to draw a slab the size of the rug and assign the image to the material that is used for the top of the rug (slab), with the texture size to match the rug size. Then use the Align 3D Texture commands to place the texture at the right place and orientation on the slab.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.

David,
Thanks for the response but, rather embarrassingly, I found a rug object in the library a few minutes after posting this. It was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again!
