Description[edit | edit source]

The BIM ImagePlane tool creates a planar object from an image file. The image is mapped onto a rectangular plane in the 3D View, allowing you to use reference images (such as floor plans, elevations, or sketches) as visual guides during BIM modeling.

Usage[edit | edit source]

  1. Select the Utils → Image Plane option from the menu.
  2. A file dialog opens.
  3. Select an image file (PNG, JPG, or BMP).
  4. Click two points in the 3D View to define the diagonal corners of the Image Plane.
  5. An Image Plane is created, fitted to the aspect ratio of the original image.

Notes[edit | edit source]

  • You can edit an Image Plane as described here. The size and position of an Image Plane can also be adjusted with the Draft Move and Draft Scale tools.
