Rendering sketches with images

[xchrisgrassx]

Hi everyone, I am trying to render some images and video of a design I've been working on.
This isn't an absolute necessity, but I would like to have my companys product and logo displayed on the monitor in the design. If you look at the screenshot what I'm trying to describe should come clear.

These images were just dropped into a sketch on the face of these two monitors.

When I go to render, the sketch image does not appear. It just renders the default face color of the part.

Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks

use the decal command to add the image to the face 😉

(decal command hidden in a drop-down from "create" section of "model" ribbon within the ipt)

I know it looks ok to place an image in a sketch and that's it, but like everything else you need to perform a command on the sketch-contents to make it effect the part - if that makes any sense.  I think this confuses a few people when they want an image on a flat surface as it looks all ok just having the image in a sketch but as soon as you want to apply an image/decal to a curved face it's soon obvious that something more than just adding to a sketch is needed.

Worked perfectly, thanks!

Assuming that you are rendering with Inventor Studio, use the image to create a decal and it should render just fine as shown below.
