Surface Elevations - JPEG Image file

[theremm]

Hi, I am trying to edit the elevation of a jpeg image I have brought into my C3D 2010 file as an xref - I essentially want to 'drape' the image over the existing ground surface I have created to use for presentation purposes i.e. to show how our road layout is predominantly located along the ridgelines of the site.

Typically for other file types I would perform the following steps (using the classic toolbar): Grading > Edit Feature Line Elevations > Elevations from Surface > Select the existing ground surface > select object.

I don't seem to have the ability to select my jpeg xref using this approach... how else can I perform this task?

Cheers

i dont go as far back as 2010 but you wont be able to extract anything ftom a jpeg. you should be able to drape the image over the surface though.

Not looking to extract any info from jpeg, simply drape the image over the surface for graphical presentation. How would you do this in later versions then if not familiar with 2010? Cheers

Select the EGL surface and then In the Surface Tools ribbon select Drape Image and follow the dialogs
