Images on objects surfaces.

Hi!

Is it possible to attach an image to an objects surface?
For example if I want a roofs surface to have an image, that shows in 3D and in final prints of a facade.

The Picture object maps an image [that exists in a loaded library] and can tilt to match the roof slope.

how can I attach a picture to follow a curved wall? Is it possible?

Do you mean to map the image to repeat to look like a wall of bricks, or place just one instance of the image on the wall?

For wall of bricks: load the image into your Archicad Library and make a new material using the image as the texture.

For one image instance, make a thin curved wall applied to the larger, plain wall that is exactly the size of the brick image and apply the new material you created.
