Attach and render 2d drawing in 3d environment?


Recommended Posts

I've edited a jpeg in Adobe Illustrator and exported it as a 2D dwg. file and then imported that file into a drawing of our current theatre production using Vectorworks. I'm attempting to use it to design/render a flat cut-out piece of scenery. Is there a way to attach it to a flat 3D panel and render it? ...or is there another method that would achieve that goal? My attempts have not been successful. I have been able to create a group of the image. I have also converted the color drawing to a line drawing AND created a symbol. I have not been able to use any of these to manipulate the image in a 3D world.

The drawing is of a mountain range that has lines and color fill. It resembles a paint by color kit. It's too large to attach to this post because of it's size. When importing the .dwg into Vectorworks I saw that there were 3326 segments.

Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
