While the digital drawings are exact, the archival material often consists of photos rather than scans, making them slightly distorted. Because of the distortion, I need something more complex than the Resize or Stretch functions which (as far as I know?) only stretches/scales the drawings in one direction.<BR /><BR />I know that AutoCAD has a function which allows you to stretch an external drawing in multiple directions using reference points - is there any similar function in ArchiCAD? I have not been able to find anything like this so far, using ArchiCAD 19.</DIV> Thu, 06 Feb 2025 11:47:37 GMT Anonymous 2025-02-06T11:47:37Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/Stretch-External-Drawing-with-reference-points/m-p/281588#M44284 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content">Is there any way to stretch an external drawing or figure using several reference points? <BR /><BR />I am currently working on a project where I need archival material to line up with digital drawings.
