Now solved. Thanks in particular to SusanC and Eric.

I will try again tomorrow

Eric, Thanks for the video. Sadly, despite many reviews (and referring to the help files) I am unable to get a working solution and my attempts are getting further away from a working solution. I would send another plan file, but it is not helpful. As I have spent far too long on this I may have to list my attampts as a fail. I can get to the point of opening and editing a symbol, but I don't know where to go from there (does it need to be saved as a seperate file? how/where? Regards John

I am aware of that one , it should resolve itself when the worktop is over the oven Yes, but not ideal, I had no idea that it would be such a faff, after all, All I wanted to do was ... insert a built-in oven into a 600 Wide base

attached. All I wanted to do was ... insert a built-in oven into a 600 Wide base My thanks to those who attempted to help me find a solution. CAF.plan

I did attempt to manually edit the dimensions, but it did not work for me.

adding it as an appliance. Also tried front/sides/back,add new,appliance??

Yes, (standard single oven). But I would be happy to use another, if it worked.

I have tried everything I can find and I either get results like below or error messages (won't fit etc.)

Thanks for the link Dermot (my original result is not perfection )

Thanks. Got it. 3d/Material Painter/Material Painter/Select Material/add New Material/Texture/Texture Source.... ..and browse to the file you want.

I would like to take a photo of a tiled floor, to use in CA. Can I import the image directly? Is this possible? How would I achieve this? Thanks for looking

My well known "bull in a china shop" style Thank you again. That is indeed easier. I do now! Done. Thanks again. ...and now on to my next problemette. I will post in the next hour, if you are about???

Thanks Chopsaw and all for your help. I went edit/default settings/camera tools/full camera/edit/backdrop/select backdrop, to select my file. Then I went OK/done. It seems to be sticking. But it's showing in the other windows as well now ...............

Done (I think!)

Thanks Maureen , ideally though saving them to the specific cameras they are being used with, is I think a better option for me (if I can discover how to do it.)

Thanks. I have just spent @ 90 minutes trying to find more info on the above options. (too many menu options i think , and failed to find the solution in the help files.). No luck I'm afraid. Would it be possible to get more specific (i.e. idiot proof) instructions ? Sorry to be a pain.

It been many years since I used CA or any similar software, so please be patient. I have got my image into user catalog/my backdrops. When I click on it, then click on the window, it shows up as I would expect. But when I save and reopen it's gone. I am back with the default blue clouds. Any help appreciated.
