Vectorworks, Inc Employee Tamsin Slatter Posted October 12, 2012 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 12, 2012 Hi Stephen No - not with the eyedropper. However, you can use the operating system colour picker to pick up colours from the image. I just imported an image, and then drew a rectangle to the side. With the rectangle selected, I click the colour picker on the Attributes palette and chose the OS color picker. On the Mac, I can then select any colour on the screen, including those on the image. Hope that helps. T Quote Link to comment

Hakman Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) It looks like this option is only available on MACs, I dont see that on the PC. Tech guys please add this option on the pc. Edited February 3, 2013 by Hakman Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 You can also create a new Texture and use the a color swatch as the image. It needs to be a clear, clean, unshadowed swatch otherwise it will not tile smoothly. Quote Link to comment
