Inserting Jpgs/Signage into ArchiCAD

Hey all,
Thanks to some peoples help here I have a nearly completly arena. (Below I've attached a picture of a somewhat complete version of what I've made...).

I want to add some detail now though, such as ads along the boards and the team symbol at center ice. I noticed the "paint" and "carpet" GDL objects can probalby accomplish this task but I'm unclear as to what I should put under "name of picture file" when I choose custom.

For you info, I'm on a network computer without admin passwords, so I do not have access to the ArchiCAD directory. Is this a problem, since I need to put the JPG file there.. are these GDL object even capable of doing what I want?

Thanks a ton,
Patrick Nolan

Hi!

Load the picture you want to use into the library using the library manager. Then you can use the it in the picture object. Type in the whole file name of the picture file including the filextension in the object parameters.
I hope this gets you started.
