Apply Background Picture

Use background pictures to put your building into a natural context, when viewing the model externally, or to fill in the view from the window, when viewing internally.

You can also display the background in the modeling mode. This is useful, for example, when you have aerial photograph of your site and you want to design your building on this background.

Choose one of the options:

Set the background picture

Display the background picture in render and modeling modes

Display the background picture only

Display the background picture in modeling mode only

Hide the background picture

The first option allows you to choose the background picture from a library. All other options control the display of the background picture.
