Hey, I was wondering how to import a picture (such as a plan) into Rhino 3d? Thanks.

Ok, let me elaborate a bit. I'm trying to get a paper model in .pdf format into Rhino. I've manageed to insert/import the first page in, but that's the instructions page. So how do I get the actual parts on page 2 and three into Rhino?

Check out the rhino help for "Background Bitmap" that's what you want. You can import a plan, then trace all the lines.

Some pointers:

- The image has to be grayscale. TIFF format, no compression works for me.
- The lines will be somewhat fuzzy. You get the least amount of fuzz if you format the image with an aspect ratio of 3:4, such as 1024x768 pixels.


Cheers,


Oliver
