Image properties acting wierd

[hanslammerts]

These functions do not seem to work.

Very hard to get a image overlay.

In AutoCAD it is so much easier.

Why switch from AutoCAD if you want easy?

Extraordinary lack of information given here. Looks like you are playing with the settings of a Material's Appearance Image.  Where are you hitting a bump?    What exactly does AutoCAD do better?   

[barthbradley]

...what about applying the Image as a Decal?  

[hanslammerts]

You can smile you want. It just doesn't work. Nothing more nothing less. Here is how BricsCAD BIM. Makes it easy with TINASSIGNIMAGE. Made it special for you.

The scaling in BCAD and ACAD plays a factor in mapping images the way you are trying to demonstrate. Same in Sketchup... A 600dpi image at a scale of 1:6000 is manageable there. Scaling an image to the values shown in your original Post is simply catastrophic...

As nice as it may seem to be for a few users, in my opinion that's a feature which is neither vital for a project nor does it need to be implemented in Revit.

Revit isn't meant to translate aerial photo into accurate civil software. This is where AutoCAD Map or civil 3d are for. I don't see Architectural practices go out there taking image and scale it accurately. All we need is slap in image which is close approximate to the our site property. Most often it only show up in one drawing and never the rest of the drawing package. If you want accuracy, you have to rely on civil or surveyor since they are the profession who deal with this on regular basis.

The right tool for the job, so to speak.
