Pictures are not showing in section

dani12 — Thu, 30 Jan 2025 21:40:39 GMT

Hello! I have three frames with pictures on the walls but when I do section the pictures are not showing (it is black or white). I put the pictures in the frames with surface (I add the picture to new surface). In 3D everything is showing. I have attached pictures. Can you help me?

Operating system used: Windows 11

Okay this sucks... I would expect it to show the image also. I think we need to put this in as a wish list item.

If you want a bad work around suggestion, I was able to re-insert the image again in the section if you really want to see it.

I tried but in the settings it is shown that there is an image. I don't know what else to try.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I meant that you can insert the image into the section by placing an external drawing. It has nothing to do with the piture frame object and it's settings.

As a workaround: You could also try placing a very thin Wall where the plane of the picture needs to be and assign to it a Surface that has the desired image as a texture. It should be displayed because image textures are visible in your Section elsewhere.

You would probably need to set the texture unit size to the size of the Wall width and height and also use the Align 3D Texture commands to move it to its proper place on the Wall.

I tried this but it is a little bit difficult to make the picture the same size as the frame because when i change the length of the picture it automatically changes the height of the picture.

Yes i tried it with wall but the placement of the picture is strange and i dont't know how to use align 3d texture to make it look good.

I put the wall and i found the align 3d texture command. Now everything is okay. Thank you so much for the answers.
