How to Create A New Custom Surface from A Photo

By Eric Bobrow | General ARCHICAD Tutorials

Jun 16

An interesting question was sent in to my ARCHICAD Coaching Program by California architect Luis Barrios asking how to create custom Surfaces using photos of stained glass windows from a church that he's renovating. He wanted to include these artwork images in his 3D views as well as rendered elevation drawings.

Watch this 36 minute video to learn how to integrate artwork images in ARCHICAD 3d views as well as rendered elevation drawings. You'll also get a glimpse into my ARCHICAD Coaching Program in which I give personal assistance to users with ARCHICAD questions.

The process was straightforward but involved multiple steps and programs, including Photoshop for cropping and straightening images.
