ericepv Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 Yes, as in a library icon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juju22 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I have a similar question. How can I include "original framed wall art" in a rendering. The company likes to display previous jobs they completed and I would like to fill in "wall frames" with their projects as an added touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericepv Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 Import the image into your user library as a new material and then specify it as the image for your frame in the DBX for the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaskan_Son Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Just now, ericepv said: A model of an object, what your library is full of. For future reference, the pictures on the little buttons in your toolbar are icons. We have all sorts of objects in the library. We have Materials, CAD Blocks, Fill Styles, Text Boxes, Moldings, Style Pallets, Notes, various 3D Symbols, Architectural Blocks, etc. We do not however have icons in the library. When it comes to plants, there are at least 3 things you might be referring to... A 2D Block for plan views A 3D Plant Symbol A Plant Image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericepv Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 I've always referred to symbols as icons (as do many online libraries) I guess it's just what you're used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay... I believe that usage to be incorrect. Regardless, I still don't know what you're looking for. Perhaps you could pick one of the 3 options I mentioned? If none of those fit the bill, maybe you could clarify further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not interested in trying to use some common terms that we all understand to promote clear communication or even willing to help clarify by answering a simple question then I'll leave you alone. Best of luck to you. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry all, it seems like I opened up a hornet's nest with my terminology so 'symbol' it is. Kbird - Thanks for you suggestion but what I need is cascading juniper, that spills over the wall as in this example: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no hornet's nest. It's just that we're trying to communicate thoughts and ideas here and the words we use are important. If we can't build off a common foundation then we can't communicate clearly. As I pointed out earlier, you could have been referring to any number things: An actual icon... A 2D Plan Symbol (CAD Block)... A Plant Image... a 3D Plant Symbol Or even a Material... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set it's height reference to Absolute instead of Terrain and you can bury part of it in the ground .... if needed behind the Retaining wall. Mick.
