texture in 2D ?

[Anonymous]

It is possible to create a symbol fill with a picture like a texture? Or is there any way to use textures in the 2D plan as a fill ?

If you vectorize the images you should be able to use them.
But just using a straight image, I don't think it is possible.

Just using the new ArchiRuler 2.0!
I hope I will be able to upload this new major update (I mean the demo version) the next week, as usual, on www.cigraph-store.com

Fabrizio,
Hello my friend .
Now with a comment like that you can not possibly leave us hanging.
Are you saying that with ArchiRuler 2 you can vectorizes raster images?
Wow hope this is true.

Cheers.

Hi Ben,

nice to "meet" you again waiting for the next party together!!!
No, probably I misunderstood the request or I not well answered.

What I was saying is that one of the new ArchiRuler 2.0 features let you "paint" an area in the plan (as well as in the S/E windows or in the Detail Drawing windows) using a color gradient (just the same issue you can get in Photoshop) or using a texture coming from your ArchiCAD library.

In this way you can improve your 2D drawing adding them colors and textures.

But in the meantime, a figure can always be pasted into the 2D plan and irregular shapes can be masked with a neutral solid fill.
