Importing images

[scall]

Good morning

Im trying to create some bamboo shacks and I was kindly sent some images by Dave. Ive imported the images and it works well, however how do I add them to the sidings list, so I can repeat using them, without having to reimport them?

I think that makes sense?


thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. We do not currently have user-defined art palettes, but we realize it would be handy. It might be quicker when you go to bring in your image to open it from the email and right click "copy" and then in Model Builder choose Edit > Paste. Possibly that is shorter than "File" >"import"

Or in "File" >"Program settings" you can choose the folders that Model Builder will open for saved files and set another folder for art you frequently import. Store all of your artwork in one folder and when you choose File > Import you will be at that folder.

oh, forgot! Once you have an imported item on the design screen, it takes less memory to use "edit" >"duplicate" or keyboard shortcut "Ctrl" "d" to put more of the same image onscreen, say if you are making a longer wall.
