2d to 3d

[PratikRai]

I have a client that has a very specific piece of art (a print that is 6' x 3.5') that we are trying to fit into the wall.  I have a 2D image of it and I can make it show up in 2d elevations as such, but how do i make it show up in a 3D view?

You need to take your 2D image of the art work

and use it to create a new material in your User

Catalog in the Library Browser.

 

Right click on User Catalog / Click on New / Click on Material

 

Once you have the material you need to apply it

to something. In this example I used a Polyline

Solid 72" x 42" x 1/2". I set the Psolid into a wall

niche that was 72" x 42" x 3" deep and changed

the material from the default Concrete to the new

material I made from the art work.

If it doesn't have a frame, you can do it without creating a material by using Build>Image>Create Billboard Image.
