Request
How can I insert a photo on the face of the Building Outline?

Answer
The Building Outline is used to represent an existing building, or a portion of it, in order to simulate an adjacent volume in relation to the building for which the architectural project is being developed.

Different images can be assigned to the side faces of the Building Outline using the Properties toolbox.

How to proceed:
  1. Draw the Building Outline
  2. Select a face of the Building Outline; the selected face will be highlighted in blue
  3. In the Properties toolbox, under the section dedicated to images, use the Import command to select the required image from your computer
  4. The imported image can be repositioned on the face using the Offset and Scale Factor commands
  5. Repeat the same procedure for the other faces.




Alternatively, instead of using images, a single material can be assigned to the entire object.
