Sawyer Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 In cad I would get a scan of a sketch & I could insert it as a raster & ref scale it so I knew it was the correct scale/size. Then I could trace over it and pretty soon I had a floor plan. In max I can view an image as a background but how do I get a scale set so I can trace. And when I do trace if I need to scale the splines how do I get that transformation to NOT affect future modifiers? Or do I just keep importing my splines to max from cad?

arch83 Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 I think it's easier importing the plan BUT ... You can add corner lines to the drawing sheet, knowing the exact distances. Make a plane that exact size and add the map. Probably ten other, better ways but that's what I do when I have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
