Jim Smith Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I was under the impression that an Image Prop would be a flat 3-D object; that is with 0 extruded value. Try as I may, I cannot seem to make a an Image Prop an object in 3-D space I can move around. Is there a way to import an image that will act as a 3-D scaleable thing or do I need to do this in Sketch-up? VW12.5.1 Mac OSX Intel Macmini Quote Link to comment
G_Hannigan Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Try unchecking "Auto Rotate" in OIP. If checked, it behaves like a2D object. Quote Link to comment

Dave_Donley Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Hello Jim: If you uncheck Create Plug-In Object in the Create Image Prop dialog box, it will create a textured 3D polygon rather than an Image Prop plugin. You can then rotate the polygon any which way in 3D. This is a quick way to make things like paintings for the wall, rugs, etc. Quote Link to comment
