Align Image

[Anonymous]

I am having trouble aligning an image. The Image is a photo taken in elevation perpspective. When I try to align the image Archicad gives me a camera that is no where near the correct view. Do I need to take the photo as more of a perspective? Or what am I doing wrong? Please Help!

The tool is not perfect.
More extreme perspective would help the tool, but camera lens distortion makes this tool inaccurate. Even the instructions say you have to tweak it.

I would practice by aligning the view of a rendering instead of a real photo. No distortion.

Besides, how hard is it to walk the camera around in OpenGL to get exactly what you want?
