use a Decal:

1. Insert >Decal > Decal Types > Create New Decal - Setting - Source - choose a bitmap you want to use as image....OK
2. Insert >Decal > Place Decal - hover over a suface, place it , adjust dimensions...

i did in the same way but i couldnt see the image at all

its neither avalable in section view nor in 3d view or camera view.

should i attach the project & the image so that you can check what is the problem??

[constantin.stroescu]

yes, send the file...

[sudarshankvarma]

Please find the attached Revit file.

I have placed the decal image in the tv screen but its not geting visible in render or in other views

but when i place a copy in a wall & render its showing the image in the wall but not in the tv screen i want that image in the tv screen.

Please advice what i have to do for that.

Thank you

Be sure you place the Decal on the right face....I've applied another decal ...a Gustav Klimt's cause I didn't find yours....

In my example you can see a rendered image and a Realistic Graphic Display...It will, also , appear in Ray Trace Graphic Display...

can this be done in Revit LT?

[constantin.stroescu]

No , it can not be done!

Thank you for the quick reply! I will use Photoshop in 5 minutes rather than beat my head against my desk for hours...

Another way could be using a  mapped material  by Material Browser ...hope this works in LT....

What if we add the same image in it as a material property?

I think it will work....!

This actually works and pretty well too. You would have to play around with the image dimensions and the tile part to get it right but otherwise my render using the image as a material came out pretty good.
