Spline Tool on Image File?

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

Just wondering whether it's possible to use the spline tool on a .jpeg image file. When i open the image file in ArchiCAD it will not let me use any tools. I want to use the spline tool so i can draw the outlines of the key features from the image. Is there a way to do this?

Sorry for the noobie question, I am new to ArchiCAD.

Any help would really be appreciated.

Open a standard archiCAD file, then insert the image using the figure tool.

Draw away.

thanks so much, I knew it would be as easy as that. One last question but, when i click on the figure tool nothing happens, do i need to add my image to the clipboard? if so how do i do that?

thanks in advance.

Click on the settings button. A box should open up where you will find a button labelled 'Open' which lets you choose an image to use.

Once you have it in the right place to the right size, try locking it to prevent accidental movement or deletion.
